maddhunter Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS You'll get one Squirell, heck it took me 4 years before I bagged my first. After being beaten up by the boss toms I took the first bird that came in range which ended up being a jake, but I am just as proud of that jake as any other turkey I will have taken.

maddhunter Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Finally I will get to get out in the woods to do some much needed scouting. My mother-in-law is getting re-married tomarrow, so after Sat. it's in the woods we go!!!!!! The kids are on spring break and I'm on the night shift so me and my son will be heading out to the woods all day sunday and monday morning. I'll let ya'll know how it goes. Good luck to everyone and don't forget to take a good pic for the contest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squirrelbuster Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Believe me maddhunter, if a jake walks in front of me it is going to hit the dirt. I am not holding out for a Tom right now until I manage to bag a couple birds first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS I dropped by a place that I hunt infrequently at best. It's about 40 acres of hardwoods next to a plot of WPA pines. Every time I'm there to deer hunt, all I see is turkey. When I turket hunt there, I get covered up in deer. Saw some deer during my walk, suprise, suprise, but no sign of turkey. In Indiana we have to get in a lottery to hunt public land. I'm in for the drawing, but last year was the first time in years that I drew in. I'm hoping my best chances will be in Kentucky on their opening weekend or the first weekend of the 4th season in Iowa. I think we're hunting Tony Knight's land. Supposed to be some BIG ol toms there! I'm pumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Got out yesterday and this morning. No gobbling in NE OK yet Didn'y see a turkey one either. Seen some good sighn but not as much as the years before. I know they are in there, just can't pinpoint them just yet. We've had alot of storms moving through and that may have them bunched up in the canyons and draws. We'll be getting out this friday and every weekend until season, til we find our opening spot.

maddhunter Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Got out to do some scouting again this weekend(3-18-06) Rained off and on all weekend, temps stayed below 60. Saw alot more sighn and even a few turkeys. Still not gobbling yet. No gobbling could be a good sighn though, with season still 18 days away.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS "the Dog" has not recieved anything yet. Been out scouting in Northeast Iowa. Birds are still in big groups, however, the mature toms are strutting. Just need those groups to break up so I can isolate those big boys. Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billkay Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Here's a portion of an e-mail and pix that Renzo sent me tonite. Pretty cool stuff. Sunday morning I met my dad at the MVWMA and we went into the area I had previously scouted. We positioned decoys in front of us and had a clearing to our left and right where the turkeys could see our decoys. Directly in front of us and behind us the brush was too thick for a turkey to enter (or anything else for that matter). At about 9:00 am the sun was shining, there was no wind and we were both about half asleep. My dad and I were sitting against a tree shoulder to shoulder and to my left I caught some movement. When I cautiously turned to see the movement (5¹ away) I was looking a mountain lion¹s ear. At the exact instant I turned, the cat leaped out of the bushes (10-12 feet) and then leaped one more time (10-12 feet) onto two hen turkey decoys. I couldn¹t move or even say anything as I was trying to grasp what was happening in front of me. My dad grabbed the shotgun, fired in the cat¹s direction and missed. Instantly, the lion turned and ran directly at us. I braced myself and leaned back (I thought we were going to get our @ss kicked) as my dad shot again-this time at point blank range. The mountain lion fell. Holy $*&^%$##@ what just happened? We both stood there in shock for the next few minutes trying to gather our senses. It was amazing to both of us that this cat came through, across and over dry leaves, limbs, branches and never made a single noise! I will never know how long he was standing 5 feet from my face before his ear twitched; furthermore, how many times have cats observed us without us knowing? If you know anything about shotgun patterns, the hole in the mountain lion¹s neck was about the size of a quarter-way to close for comfort. A normal shotgun pattern at 10 yards is basketball size. This cat is 125 pounds with nothing in his stomach and 6¹10² long! As luck would have it, my dad had a lion tag that is now filled and I still have an unfilled turkey tagŠ.

maddhunter Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS That was heck of close encounter!!!! I went out scouting this morning and got within 200yrds of a roost with about 5 longbeards gobbling thier heads off. And to make the morning even better I found a 150 class antler shead on my way out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Squirrelbuster Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS I received my decoys the other night. 4 hens, 1 tom and the stutting back end. I am looking forward to trying them out. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Well boys it's almost here. Thursday is the big day and I haven't slept in 3 days. I've been through all my gear I don't know how many times, just to make sure I don't forget that one thing I need at krunch time. I've got one more day(10hrs) of work, soccer practice and then get the kids in bed and wait, wait, wait, wait, and wait for that alarm to go off. Which I have never been able to get that far before getting up I'm going to wait for a good tom. At least I say I'm going to, when them boys are strutting and gobbling at 30-40yrds it's gonna be hard to keep from pulling that trigger on the first one that closes the distance. We have 30 days and can hunt all day every day and I have plenty of vacation days set aside. Good luck to all of ya and be careful!!!!!!
