wtnhunt Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Season opens here the end of this month. Saw some really good birds back during our deer season. Got a pretty good idea where some birds should be roosting. Good luck everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem308 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Our season opens in late April, can't wait for it! I'm glad to be on the team with you all...I have spoke here and there to a few of you in the past. Let's get a few good birds down and enjoy the competition.

Rem308 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Just a thought, anyone have any good ideas for a team name? I had a few ideas, let me know what you think: - Jakes or Better!! - Team Thunder Chicken - Team 19 lbs+ - Strutter Ambush!! Okay, that's all I have, let me know what you all think (I don't mind if you think they're all crap!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntnMa Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I like strutter ambush but whatever you want is fine with me....Good Luck y'all , my first hunt is on the 21st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem308 Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 Well good luck with that hunt, I have to wait till about that time in April! I went to the range this weekend to begin trying some new turkey loads out of my 12 gauge. I bought a box of those Federal Premium Turkey loads, the ones with the wad that 'supposedly' keeps a 40% tighter pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullfan Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Team 19 Has everyone checked in yet ?? I start my season in Mo this year around the 21st. of the 4 month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Fine with whatever name here. Did not really get to do the scouting over the weekend like I had planned on, but did hear 3 different birds this morning in the hardwoods at sunrise on the far side of the woods, close to the property line. Have the youth hunt this weekend and then our regular season opens the following weekend. Hope to get out a few afternoons this week to get a better idea what they are doing. Good luck everyone.

HuntnMa Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Oh woohooo....Yesterday i went to listen to see where my bird was, he was MIA, so I decided to see if I could roost a bird, I did, 2 of em, I was so torn, should I go after the ones that I roosted or go after my gobbler that I got on audio, the one I bonded with for weeks...I called Fl..she convinced me to go with my gut, because it's never wrong, lol...though I really wanted that one gobbler, it was heartbreaking to let him go....so I slept in the truck so I was the first one out there...I finally make my way down the trail and I run into a herd of cows bedded down, well I have to go through them, there's no going around them, so i made a noise and flashed them with my flashlight, you would of thought i started world war 3, the whole heard scattered, then I come face to face with this single cow down a ways , I had to stand my ground again, it freaked out and the whole heard that was hiding in silence spooked, I had cows running everywhere I know the 2 birds I roosted were not going to say a word, and they didn't...but I did hear one, so I went after him, then he shut up, so I worked him for about 2 hours, then I decided to move to my honey hole, where I should of been first thing.I cut 2 palmettos, stuck them in the ground and I did a yelp, then another, then blalalalaaaa, so I yelped again, blalalalala, dang it, I can't move,they're right there, coming in from side and behind me, so I lay down on my back,it's the best position I could get in with out moving too much and then I saw him, he's coming in strutting, then he'd go out of strut, go back in, he wasn't too sure about my decoy, but then he turned and was coming in about 10 yds. in front of me,now I have missed 2 birds in the past due to the fact that they were too close, so I'm like "aim low Casey", so I did :gr ... as soon as he popped out behind the tree, I shot him, I rolled him head first, then i see a bird putting looking right at me, oh no, he's up, and I know I rolled him, this shoudn't be happening, so I go to shoot him again and my gun is jamming, then he flew up and landed behind a tree, I was losing my bird, how in the world is this happening, I was freaking out because he didn't look like he was wounded too bad, but he should of been ...then I see a head bobbin' out of the corner of my eye, it was my bird sitting there where I had dropped him but it was looking at me, so I shot him again and blew his eyeballs out , broke his beak in half, it was ugly, but it had to be done...i would usually run up and step on their neck but he was in the sitting position and I was afraid he was going to fly away, but anyway, Bird down....oh woohooooooo...hunting the Freakzone tomorrow. This area is the same area I have killed now 4 birds in, each and every time I hunt there, i shoot a bird and then I think he's still alive, always turns out to be another bird that I didn't see with him and by the grace of God I have never made that 2nd shot or I'd have some explainng to do when I got to the check station, lol... his stats are:Time of Day: 9:20 am Weight 17.4 lb. Beard Length - 9.75" Right Spur - 1.25" Left Spur - 1.0" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Congratulation HuntnMa. Very nice. We are in our 2 day youth hunt here, then our regular season opens up next weekend. We have had hens all around us, either there are not any gobblers around our property right now or they just are not talking yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hopefully it is only a matter of time before these birds here slip up. Really think my best bet is going to be catching a bird coming back to roost in the afternoon because I cannot seem to talk a bird into coming into range in the mornings to save my life. Had 3 birds on the roost within 70-80 yards of me this morning. They were gobbling their heads off. They were to my left, had a hen on the ground back to my right coming down the hill. Thought for sure they would fly down off the roost in the opening right out in front of me, but they didn't. About twenty to seven one of the gobblers flew down just the other side of some brush, and another flew across the field back behind me. Not sure where the other one went, but once they got on the ground I never heard them again. Went out this afternoon, wind is crazy, trees were falling down around me.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Season here wraps up this weekend, and not sure if I will be able to get out but going to try. Really did not get out near as much as I wanted to, let my wife go more. Sorry I have not contributed to the score, been a lousy season here.
