Snipe the Waddles....Turkey Team #13


Recommended Posts

Alright Team....ive got 2 tags in hand with one more in the random dailys, which should produce. Im still somewhat of a rook, but ive got some darn good hunting buddies...glad to be here...this will be my 3rd year at it...any ideas on a team name? Feather Dusters? Long Beard Fever?

my season starts 4/13 for one or two days depending on work...then i go from 5/1 - 5/7...and whatever i get for my random daily:confused:

Hey everyone! Looks like we have a good team right here. My season is starting March 18 in MS for a few days then I am guiding in TN for the Hunting For a Cure event. Then back to Ohio and PA for the remainder of the season. Hopefully I can lay the smackdown on a bird in MS to start us off right. When does everyone's season start?

I went scouting this morning, the birds are still wintered up and in a big flock of about 100 but I did my shaker gobble call this morning and there were gobbles all over. I tried to count all the different gobbles but after about 20 I gave up. Looks like it is going to be a good year.

Good stuff Shane...i didn't know they would really even be responsive this early (especially up by you)! I will have to get out and try that one of these mornings...I figured after a few warm days in the high 40's and mid 50's they might start getting spunky...

I think we need to get someone to make us a signiture once we get a team name figured out....

so far our options are:

Longbeard Fever

Feather Dusters (or Feather Busters)

Gobble, Gobble, Flop

Drill em and Grill em

Spring Thunder

Snipe the Waddles

Strut Breakers

Longbeard Destroyers...

just thought up this one:

Death by Tomptation

any thoughts????

Im feeling pretty darn confident, and im goona start trash talking, but i don't feel its appropriate with a lame name like "team 13"...so lets get our ducks in a row and do this!:)

post your opinion and we'll get it done...

Went out scouting monday moring as planned. Saw a huge group of birds around my main hunting spot. There were 7 gobblers in the group, all of them were strutting. With them they had around 30 hens and jakes. Then I checked another field with 10 turkeys in it and when I got the camera on them I was suprised to see that they all had beards. So as of this week we have atleast 17 gobblers on my home farm. But I heard a lot more gobbleing in the valley and woods across the road and some more across the fence.

I spotted a true monster the other day behind the house! It was a triple bearder with the shortest beard being around 7" and the longest pushing 12" or so. I got a very close look at him through my binos and he had some nasty long spurs on him. If I were to venture a guess they were 1.5" limbhangers! Thats the bird I am going to kill this year. I know exactly where they roost, where they fly down. He does have a few hens with him at all times but it shouldnt be that much of a problem. All I have to do now is wait for the season to some in. I will try to get pics up of him but I don't think you can tell that he has 3 beards but he is big either way!
