well guys i believe i'm done for the season. it has come to an end for me. with me getting married on the 12th and have gotten my bird last friday i've elected to go fishing with my grand father in the morning. it has been a blast this year. enjoyed being on the team. thanks for all your replies, help, and tips. good luck on the rest of your season. where have the other guys been? we havent heard from them since we started this thing.

i hear ya. hear in GA it's been a rough season as well. i've set up on 2 gobbling birds and did nothing with them. i did manage to ambush my first gobbler last friday. hope your luck changes for ya.

my father- in law was a dirt track racer. now he is crew chief for steve johnson pro stock motorcycles(NHRA)

Any NHRA fans here? and your fav driver? my father-in-law is crew chief for steve johnson- pro stock motorcycle. just seeing who all likes drag racing

congrats on your bird. just in time for work!lol

i hear ya there. complaining about using light line. when he's a power fisherman. everyone has there own ways they like to fish. myslef, i usually use 10lb on everything. so i guess i would be a light weight compared to him. my thinking would be get a bite anyway you can, do what it takes.

good looking calls. good luck with them this spring.

good looking bird. congrats to your wife.

Good luck to you and your wife!! wish you the best!!

With the Georgia season coming to a close in two weeks and me getting married on the same day. I elect to get away from the house and put yard work away for one more day. I had been talking to my cousin who hunts some land that joins our company land and they had not heard a bird all day. SO me not wanting to just sit at home I decide to go on and try to find a bird to hunt in the morning. I get to the land get my stuff ready and head toward a foodplot that normally has birds around in the area. I never tried to get one to shock gobble and never called on my way to the plot. I got to the plot and see a bird out in the plot and start crawling towards him. The grass being about waiste high and the wind blowing a good bit really helped out. I crawl about 20 yards and look up and see no bird so i figured he had feed his way to the woods. I go back to gather all my stuff and head on down the edge of the plot to find a place to maybe call him back. At the time I had no idea what kind of bird it was. Just before i sat down i turn to check my view into the plot when a RED head catches my attention. so i ease to the ground and shed my vest and crwl towards the bird. Again wind and tall grass being a huge help. When i saw him he was probably 50-60 yards soi crawled about 20 yards closer and raise to my knees and drop him at 34 steps!! Big bird DOWN!! I think you could have heard me in the next county i was hollering soo much and soo loud!! he measured 10 3/8 in beard 1 1/8 spurs and 20# My picture is too big and I have dailup(uhhh) i will e-mail them to a mod. and get him to post them in the submission part.

Well guys i went this afternoon and put another on the board with rhino's bird!! my first long beard!! i will post a story and try the picts tonight. 10 3/8 in beard 20# 1 1/8 in spurs man am i still pumped. i'm ready to go again in the am. my mom and dad's trying to talk me into not going cause i just killed one. I'm soo pumped!! been waiting on this day for a lonnggg time!!
