Re: Realtree Turkey Team #21

Checking in. I'll be hunting on family land in various places in eastern Oklahoma, also possibly a trip to western OK if I punch my first two tags early (three bird state limit, but two bird limit in southeastern OK where I do most of my hunting).

How about everybody else?

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #21

Concerning team name, I'm not sure if this is taken or might have been used in previous years(?), but how about:

Team Turkey Takers

I know, I know, kinda obvious. But we could have a cool T3 logo with a "Terminator" bearing down on an ole tom. Which brings me to my other three name ideas:

Team Turkey Terminators

Team Tom Terminators

Team Tominators

Thoughts?

PS My season starts here in OK on April 6th. Counting the days...

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #21

I'm hunting Easterns in SE OK (Pittsburg Co.) starting opening day, April 6th. This land is in the 8 SE county block that has a combined limit of two birds. If/when my father and I get a couple of gobblers apiece down there, we'll shift to some family land in NE OK (Creek Co.) and/or head out to western OK public land (Black Kettle Grassland and surrounding WMAs) and try to fill our final OK tags with Rios.

I hunted turkeys with a Remington Premier 11-87 28in as a youth and took a decent jake many years ago, but I'd been away from turkey hunting for about ten years until I had several really up close encounters with fall flocks during muzzleloader deer season last October (see first picture below, taken with a little ole Canon Elph 3x pocket cam to give you an idea how close they walked up on me!). Those re-lit the fire!

This spring I'm better prepared in just about every way (knowledge of the birds and land, calling practice, well patterned Rem 11-87 with camo stock & sling, TruGlo sights, HS Undertaker H.S. choke, and Win XtRange shells) than I ever was as a youth. There's a ton of sign on our land and I've been hearing and seeing very nice winter flocks by SE OK standards (50-100 birds a month ago, breaking up now for spring; see second photo for fleeting glimpses in early February).

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #21

How's the season going for those who've started hunting? Anybody got a bird yet?

I'm leaving tomorrow for hunting camp. Season opens Thursday morning. Not sure how much I'll sleep tonight or tomorrow night!

Best of luck to everyone hunting or hitting the woods to start hunting soon

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #21

I did get a decent bird for our team on April 8th, Missed160. Stats:

* 19 pounds

* 8 1/4 inch beard

* 7/8 inch left spur

* 13/16 inch right spur

---------------------------

** NWTF score: 52.375

I'll post photos, contest form, and the story of the hunt asap.

Sorry to hear you had no luck in AL, Tuffnuf. Hope KY is fantastic hunting!

Good luck to everybody and let's bring home some big ones!

Re: Realtree Turkey Team #21

I guess everybody's so busy hunting that they haven't checked in.

I've been sidelined by a bad cold this week but hope to be back in the woods soon. Hope you're all seeing birds and that we'll have more entries for our team soon!
