AdvantageTimberLou Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I still have a month wait gang, best of luck to all of you. Got my decoys ready. Don on here helped me out with a real fan for my pretty boy so I am excited to try him out this spring! Also made a binder twine beard for him. That makes him look better too!

PotashRLS Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Bagged myself a biggin. Killed my largest Tom to date around noon on Wed. 4/14/2010. Sweet talked him with one of Andy's Glass/Zebra wood pot calls and now he's in the freezer. The main bristles of his beard were 10", hooked spurs both 1 5/16", and weighed 24.1lbs on the certified food scale at the registration station. I have a lot of posting to do to as I mentored a gal during this week also. We finally closed the deal Friday morning with a very nice jake for her. She did a great job. She's Huntermomof4 here on Realtree. We also went 15 for 18 in the learn to hunt program again this year. It has been a spectacular season so far. Hope everyone is doing well. I will post pictures once I take care of my sd card snaffoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PotashRLS Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 I posted pictures of my bird in the contest photo post thread. My Dad and Brother both killed toms yesterday. It went from famine to feast overnight. Hope everyone is getting some hunting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 With the wife going to dog shows in the next few weeks, hunting was going to be limited. Well the hunting Gods must have seen my situation as my spring season is over. Went to one spot this morning, had a jake excited but he would not commit to the set-up. Plus he had to cross a river! Then I decided to hunt another spot in the next county. Weather was not the greatest, 30 MPH winds and scattered rain showers. Well 8 minutes after I am set-up at the new spot, hit the box call a few times to hopefully get the sound out there with the 30 MPH winds, and two longbeards came in to my set-up. 20 yard shot, the Limbsaver Speedzone rocked his world! His buddy stayed around for a few minutes, we are only allowed one bird per season or he'd be bird #2 for me! Was an awesome hunt. Sadly I was all by myself on this hunt but it was a hunt I will never forget! BTW: Those NAP Bloodrunners leave an awesome entry and exit hole! Will post my score later. Have to run the numbers! Stats: 20 lbs. 1 1/8" spurs 11 inch beard His beard shows signs he was a scrapper! LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake3113 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Way to go...Congrats on an awesome bird...Teams adding up the score....Wish I was having luck...Let a jake walk by me at 8 yards yesterday...Only had a 2 inch beard...Still have 3 weeks to get one...Congrats again...

PotashRLS Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Way to go !!!!!!!!! That is a real nice bird, and with the bow too. That is extra special indeed. The Turkey Basters are in the running for sure.:flex: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm23494 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Nice looking bird Lou. Was out Saturday morning despite the rain and storms we had. Called a bird in for a friend but he missed it first thing in the morning. Hopefully we can get after him again after things settle for a few days.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys! I will work on the score this week. Was awesome to get him with a bow. From his fan, you can tell this boy was a scrapper. Not sure if he ever won a fight though! Funny how him and the other tom came running up to my Pretty Boy to challenge him. The wind was so strong, you can see in the picture, my Pretty Girl is actually tipped over! Congrats guys on your birds and best of luck to those still hunting. On this hunt I never even got a chance to use Andy's call. I used my Amish made box call to try and get the sound out with the 30 MPH winds I was facing. Was a fun hunt I will always remember. BTW: Was using a NAP 100 grain Bloodrunner. Blades are still razor sharp but I did a spin test on it and it appears the ferrule is bent. It did its job though, I am happy with them!

dodgeman1 Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 dodgeman1 checking back in with bad news, the turkeys kicked my butt again this year. I hunted every chance i got, but between the wind, rain, and the cold weather the birds in my area just turned completely off. Just my luck though the weather turned nice this week, and the birds are strutting, and gobbling their heads off. Sorry about the no bird,but when the deer season opens I am much more consistant, best of luck to all else on the team wop a biggun for me. dodge out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Well Dodge, you can't say you didn't try. We all know that hunting is not about a filled tag. You don't have anything to appologize for. Better luck next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
