I called a 2 year old last weekend for a buddy of mine. 3/4" spurs, 9" beard ,17 lbs. This weekend called in 3 jakes & my wife shot one. That was her 5th gobbler. Those #4 Federals do the trick.

They are funny this year, they don't seem to like my box call-----had to use my mouth call more this year. Last couple of years they really sounded off on the box. Things change I guess. CB

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #3

finally Season opens tommorrow. Temp. is dropping to the upper 30's this week and chance of rain tonight not good. I bet they'll be pretty tight lipped tommorrow. I have the first 4 days of the season off and the whole 2nd week grin.gifgrin.gif. Still not sure if I'm using only bow or shotgun yet confused.gif I'd like to kill a spring gobbler with my bow. Maybe I'll take both laugh.gif bow and shotgun

We got 3 good birds for the team, guys. Good Job. Let's hope one of the others gets one. I think it really takes 4 birds to win.

Quick update...I havent been able to go the last few weeks, and hunting has been hard so far. After opening days bust, I went a couple weeks later. Had a bird on the way, but then a real hen cut him off in the bottom as he was on his way to the highline. Later in the morning we got a bird hot and gobbling...sat for 5 min yelped agian and he cut us off...got him to gobbel once more then I decided to be quiet. Waited 15 min nothing...yelped nothing...15 more min nothing. Dont know what happened or where he went. He was deffinately on the way. Anyways, next weekend is the close of the season, and I should get to go friday and saturday...will update on what happens.

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #3

Well,we're in 2nd now,but not down by much,a good 2 year old will do it.40 or more pts.Congrats to all.I finally tagged out with the bird I had been after since opening weekend (Mar 25th)Had to crawl almost 260yds to get a 55yd shot,

He looked to be going down hill.He was an old bird with a worn fan,his legs were drying out,and turning white.He weighed 16 lb 12oz,10 3/4" beard,had a 1 3/8" spur,and a broken 1" spur,also had an injured toe that was missing.The end of it was swollen up like a mini golf ball,a tough old bird,and my toughest to date.Too bad we can't upgrade.It's been nice talking to ya'll this spring,maybe we'll see each other in the deer contest.I'll check back,and see if we pull it off.

Here are a few pics.
