Team #7 "GOBBLE KINGS" Official Site

[featherslayer 1]

Well a little ifo for the team. Finally enough time off work so did some scouting this morning, they are there. Heard about 7-10 toms gobbling this morning in my best spot, i was about 100 yards from them and it sure has me pumped up now. Its going to be a long nite at work but i guess i waited all year, with a little luck i should beable to post the pics in the morning.

Good luck to the guys going out tomorrow.

Hopefully the Turkey Gods will treat you right.

I'm ready for the morning and here is where I set my blind last night. With the weather and the way the birds have been I'm using the shotgun for the first time in 13 years. The birds were there yesterday and I'm hoping they don't move off for the next 5 days because my back ups have no birds on them.

[hugonian1]

Go get-em AS

That looks like a great setup/ spot.

I have a feeling Team 7 will be on the board tomorrow.

[Archerysniper]

That's the hill from my other pic's,I'm set up on the strut zone. I actually set the blind right on his path with tracks inside the blind now.

The shotgun on the first day!??? You must not be very confident this year!

[DonBo]

Early reports say the shotgun worked just fine.

[Archerysniper]

I love the smell of 2oz load of #6's in the morning

[sticknstring]

Where's the pics?!?

[hugonian1]

Oh, I am liking this "rumor".

The calm before the storm can really pay off.

Can't wait to hear the story & see some pics AS.

[Archerysniper]

A teaser pic

[hugonian1]

You are a teaser.

Definately not a Jake.

Way to go archerysniper! Can't wait for the story and the pics.

[Archerysniper]

I will get the pic's loaded and submitted tomorrow with a little recap from the hunt.

Just some stats,18# 9-1/4" beard and a 5/8 broken spur on one side and a 7/8" on the other side.

[Archerysniper]

Oh and a 18 yard shot turned it's head into jello.

[hugonian1]

Looks like a nice bird AS.

I am guessing he dropped in his tracks.

No wasted meat there.

Way to get us on the board.

Can't wait to hear the story.

[123fish]

The head on that bird looks like your aim was right on. Nicely done!

[DonBo]

Of course he was only 18 yds with the bow still in the closet huh? That's the way it works.

[sticknstring]

Nice pic there AS! With the weather moving in, I bet you feel pretty good about punching that tag already!

Well Jack waited all of 10 minutes to drop a turkey last fall, and this spring it only took 15 minutes. Ha! We barely got the blind set up, and had a few hens come running in to the sound of Jack yelping on the box. They stood there 5' from us, live decoys, just waiting until the boys came running in. A few young jakes and one mature pig... Jack showed great patience as he had to wait for the tom to clear the jakes, and pass on a 10 yard shot. The tom then crossed to the far window walking away from us following the hens that were now headed to the field. I gave one yelp and he extended for a big gobble.. BOOM!!!! And here we are... 26yards, dropped right there. He is pumped, and "Go Gobble Kings!" He says.

Congrats Jack- that is a great looking bird, it looks almost as big as you.

The smile says it all.

25 minutes and 2 birds.

The "guide" must be proud.

Way to go!

"Gobble Kings" are on a roll.

[sticknstring]

Way to go Jack! That young man is hooked for life! Congrats to the both of you!

[Archerysniper]

[DonBo]

Jack looks awefully happy. WTG, both of you! Gobble Kings is off to a great start.
