maddhunter Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Well first I have to apologize, I couldn't hold my trigger finger and I shot a 16# jake, 4inch beard. But man was it an awesome morning. Had 5 birds gobbling thier heads off. This jake came in full strut and gobbling like a big boy, I thought for sure he was a bigger tom but I'm proud of him anyhow. Those birds had me so fired up I just lost all focus, like I said before it's sure hard to let them go when they're gobbling at 30yrds!!! Can't wait to get back out there with my son in the morning. I am pumped guys!!!!!!!! Again sorry for the small bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Them new decoys did the trick. I had the whole flock out this morning except the backside tom. Had the jake on top of a hen with a string pulling on them. That jake was comin for some lovin. And fell in love with them 4x6 remingtons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billkay Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Hey Madd, any chance you have some pix of you and the bird with the dekes in it? These guys will probably want to use them somewhere along the line. If at all possible, let's all try to get a pic with your bird, you, and the dekes all in the same shot.

maddhunter Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Re:TEAM RENZOS Sorry Bill, did't even think about it. I was so excited I couldn't even remember what my mailbox number was when I checked him in. Had to wait till I got home to take pics because I left the camera at home. I'm takeing my son in the morning to try and get him one and I'll be sure to take the camera with me in my backpack and get a pic with the decs. His bird will most likely be bigger than mine anyhow I really liked how easy them decs are to set up and how easy it was to put the jake on the hen and add motion to it. Man I love it when a plan comes together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 congrats Maddhunter!!!! First of all "any turkey is a trophy" don't need to apologize for shooting a jake! Don't take the "contest" too seriously it's all about FUN!!!!! Glad that you had a great hunt this spring. If you have a chance for a second bird go for it and try for a bigger one this time (even if it not for the contest). Remember this sport of hunting is all about fun and having a great time in the outdoors. I went out Friday for the first time and had seven birds at 20 yards or less. Only one offered a shot and I shot over his back on only took off feathers. For complete story see: http://www.realtree.com/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=937155&an=0&page=0#937155 Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billkay Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Re: congrats Maddhunter!!!! Leaving in the morning for eastern KY. We'll be near Winchester for a couple of days and then off to West Liberty. When I return on Tues, I'll spend a couple of days filminf some other hunters in Indiana, and then possibly ead to Owensboro KY on Fri for a few more days. I'll work the first couple of days next week and then head to Iowa to hunt with the guys from Knight Rifles. If I can't kill a bird in the next 2 weeks, I quit! LOL Good luck everyone.

Guest Squirrelbuster Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: congrats Maddhunter!!!! Well, I will finally be able to try my luck (bad luck more than likely, lol) next Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Re: Team Renzos Good luck guys!!!!!!!!! I'm still hunting. Got on some good birds friday morning but didn't take one, they were out there on the edge of my range and didn't want to chance it, later stepped it off and it was about 20yrds farther than I thought Went out this morning where I shot my bird on opening day and busted a hen off her nest at 9:00am. Looks like we don't have much time left for calling here in OK. Going have to ambush them I guess. But that shouldn't be to hard seeing how there isn't much water around.

pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Re: Team Renzos Iowa bird down! Well guys to make a long story short: 2004 - 2 bow birds, 2005 - no bow birds/ bad luck, 2006 - missed one at 20 yards with the bow. Been seeing birds, however, no good shots. Getting frustrated and went out today and bought a gun license at 3 PM. Went to a secret spot tonight at 4 PM that I had not yet hunted with the bow. Hen came by and came as close as 3 yards at 4:20 PM. That hen was the neatest part of the whole hunt. To have her checking me over at 3 yards was incredible. She was preening and fluffing her feathers while at this distance. Took all I had to keep from laughing. 5:15 turkey gobbles 500 yards away in the woods. I call a few times and he comes out of the woods at 400 yards. Nothing between me and him but 400 yards of freshly planted cornfield. A few calls and he starts that "TROT" towards me and my decoys. I love it when they run into you with that beard swaying back and forth. I let him get to 25 yards and as he is checking over my decoys I down him with the 12 gauge over and under. 2 3/4 inch #4's are plenty for turkeys if you make a head/neck shot!!! It is not a bow bird, however, it was a really fun hunt. I will try to fill the bow tag with the remaining 2 1/2 weeks of the season Stats: 21.8 lbs / 10 inch beard / 7/8 inch spurs. On the smaller size for an Iowa bird, however, a keeper and he will taste good (smoked). I will post in the coming days in the contest. Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddhunter Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Re: Team Renzos That is an awesome bird DOG !!!!!!!!!! Congratulations man!!!!!!! I think I'm going out with the bow today. It's going to be raining most of the day so I think I'm taking the doghouse blind and setting up on the edge of a pasture try to get some luck my way. The hens are nesting here so I think I'll put out every decoy I got, 6 hens, one strutting tom(montanna decoy), backside tom(Renzos), and 2 jakes(1 Renzos, 1 featherflex).

pointing_dogs_rule Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Re: Team Renzos In late season I find that more (decoys) are usually better. I also love my Montana gobbler decoy, it really brings those dominate birds in fast. Good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
