Team 4: "Beard Busters"

[DonBo]

That's sure some great scenic diversity from the rolling hills of WI to hunting in someone's backyard!

That's what hunting the metro is all about. The birds have certainly adapted well to this area. Finding someone here who will actually let you hunt is the true challenge.

Outside the metro is becoming the same way, I've been turned down more this year than the past 5 years combined. More folks getting introduced to turkey hunting, which is great. The expanded youth opportunities is a large contributor. I enjoy seeing all those kid's smiles in the outdoor news w/ birds that are bigger than them!

[DonBo]

Been a hellova week for me. After my last bird on Sunday, I've been taking a young lady out. You may remember her from a couple years ago as she scored a nice bird with her bow on her first hunt of any kind. Well she did it again this morning. We've had some great action the last couple days. Many birds around and responding to calls and decoys amazingly well. She missed one the first day, but redeemed herself big time today.

She made a perfect 23 yard shot on this nice 20 pounder. Now I get to sleep in for a couple days before the Women in the Outdoors mentored hunt this weekend. Maybe after that I'll finally be able to get some fishing in

Way to go! You to Don, awesome job. Just out of curiosity, did you use just one decoy now or just a hen and a jake? When you said they were on today and it being later in the season just curious to what you used to get that much attention.

[DonBo]

Yep, jake and a hen. It's been working REALLY well for me recently.

[x1957x]

Awesome job Donbo!

[DonBo]

rbs, you still with us? Haven't heard from you in a while.

adndoc Jr, haven't heard one work from you since your hunt. What's happened to the "team"?

[rbs]

still here and hunting. I will be out in the morning after 3 days off. I had a "Super Jake" come in behind me the other day and all he needed to do is move 1' to the right and I would have released but he went left which gave me no shot. After sitting there sulking I thought to myself...hey, why didn't you shoot for his head...can you say DUMB! he was at 10 yds and standing still. Never even thought about it till later. Hope to see some in the morning...I have had some very close calls the last couple times out.

[DonBo]

Glad to hear you're still after 'em. Couple days left, let us know...

[rbs]

No bird for me this year, sorry guys! Congrats to you that scored!

[DonBo]

Thanks for checking in rbs. Sorry the season didn't work out well for you. Guess our team is not going to do very good this year. Glad to meet you and the rest of the team, better luck next year.
