elnor Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Team Primeros it is, then. I've sent the PM to Strut10, so our thread should be renamed accordingly shortly. Does anyone have mad Photoshop skillz to whip up a Team Primeros sig image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I like the name. Way to go HuntnMa! I just returned from a vacation in southern Utah with temperatures in the high 70's to temperatures in the mid 30's here in Montana. With turkey season starting the 12th of next month here, I sure hope it warms up some. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elnor Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I got a 9 1/2 inch bearded tom opening morning. 3/4 inch spurs so he's probably a two year old. I'll post the story and pics once I'm back home, next weekend. Til then, after bird #2. Good luck to everyone else still at it (or soon to be)!

elkoholic Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Way to go Elnor! The season here starts this Saturday although I have to work this weekend but the first day that I'm off (Tuesday) I will surely be out there. I might sneak in a hunt Sunday after work as I get off at 4:00 PM. Hopefully the weather gets this rain/snow stuff done with by then.

elnor Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thanks for all of the congrats! It was a very fun and memorable hunt; more on that in the story (see link below). Unfortunately my hunting was stormed out (rain/sleet/high wind, the whole bundle of bad spring weather in Oklahoma) a couple of days early, before I pulled the trigger on a bird #2. I did get my first bird of the year entered into the Realtree contest photo thread, however. Click here for the entry and here to read the full story of the hunt. Here's a pic of the happy hunter with a not so happy longbeard: Should be worth 51 points to the team. HuntnMa, did you get your bird entered into the contest photo post thread, too? Anyone else doing any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elnor Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Good luck to both of you starting this week, elkoholic and ljmelea. I'm hoping to get back out after a second bird this coming weekend; work permitting, I'm planning to hunt starting Saturday until Monday or Tuesday.

ksbowhntr77 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 No bird for me yet, but I've got a big'n on the run. He's smart, I've just got to see if he's smart enough to find his way over my shoulder. The hard one's are always the most rewarding. Hopefully I'll get'm and add some major points for the team.

elnor Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 I was after a difficult bird for four days this week and finally got him yesterday morning. He'd walk away from calling, gobbling all the while. He also appeared to shun decoys and roosted alone, making me thinking he was either 3+ years old and a good survivor or subdominant and tired of being a whipping-bird for the boss tom. His 10 7/8 inch beard, 1 3/8 spurs, and 21 pound heft seem to testify to the former. If only I'd gotten him first, we'd have even more points for Team Primeros. I'll vote for the ability to "upgrade" our turkey entry any day... I'll post again once I have the story and a photo or two posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elnor Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Hope this weekend is going well for your, ljmelea and everyone else out among 'em. The story of my second bird is posted in the Turkey Forum as "A Limbhanger Named Hummer". Here's a teaser pic, read the full story for a couple more.

elnor Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Have any of you ever hunted Rios in western Oklahoma? I'm considering going out next weekend with my father to hunt in Black Kettle National Grassland and/or Packsaddle WMA. I've never been to either and would appreciate any pointers for them, or other nearby options, if you've been out that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo_hunter Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 So far nothing for me yet, I was however able to film my daughter shooting her first turkey. Also was able to film my 85 year old grandpa kill his first double bearded turkey. This is the first year for me to ever get any hunts on video, it's been fun. I'll be out working on getting me now hopefully with my bow. Here are a couple pics. Good luck everyone! Here is a picture about 30 seconds before my daughter shot. And a picture of my grandpa!

elnor Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 That is fantastic! Congratulations to your daughter and grandfather! I hope I get the chance to film my daughter's first. She's only four but already has a couple slates and a wingbone I made for her. I'm looking forward to the day her patience and stealth start catching up to her calling chops and enthusiasm. :-) Congrats again to your family!

mo_hunter Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks elnor, it's been a great season so far now I just need to get mine. I'm going to try and get one with my bow and film it so we'll so what happens. Of course I'll bring along my shotgun just in case! Congrats again to you great pics.

elnor Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 My dad killed his second bird of the year yesterday, and get this: It was the big brother to my Hummer, 22 pounds dressed, 11.5 inch beard, 1 3/8 inch spurs! I thought I had him beat for the year, and then he pulls that on me! Since we've both taken the two birds OK allows for the southeastern block of counties, we're now planning to definitely head out west and hunt Rios this final weekend of the season (OK's season closes April 6th). Sure would be cool to kill a Rio double together and tag out, fingers crossed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnor Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 We did make it out west for four days of hunting, right up until season close, yesterday May 6th. We saw a lot of hens, but gobblers were sparse. Actually, we saw four jakes while driving by an abandoned house on private land, but only got after one gobbling longbeard in the public hunting units. Unfortunately, I managed to score my first miss ever on that bird, coming home with only a few feathers he managed to lose as he skedaddled out of there. The trip and time with family were great, though. If I can find some time, I'll post a few of the photos I took of the wildlife, especially turkeys, for everyone to check out.
