walleyehunter02 MN Archery, April 30 - May 28.

Welcome team mates! Let's have a good time with this. Let us know where, when, what, how, how many, etc.

[DonBo]

DonBo here. I have a busy spring planned. Opening weekend here in MN, I'll be taking a youth out on his first hunt. The second season, my 91 year old Dad will try to get his 3rd bird in 3 years.

Season D in Wisconsin, a buddy and I hunt hard for 5 days. We both have 2 tags.

I've got an archery tag for the metro area here in Minnesota. I'm also doing a mentored women's hunt for a long weekend in mid May. Also hope to find a little time for fishing sometime during all this. What a great time of year huh?

[walleyehunter02]

checking in! I will be hunting MN archery, mainly in zone 503. I am currently scheduled in to help my parents, girlfriend, and a friend get a bird first and then i will focus on mine.

[ANYFISH2]

Anyfish2 checking in.

My game plan for this year goes like this, opening day will be devoted to getting my daughter an opportunity. The first day the last three seasons have essentially been a slam dunk, so with a great deal of hope it will continue this year for my daughter. For the remainder of the season I will attempt to get my season A bird.

after season one it is all about my son and daughter get a bird. Hopeing to spend a lot of time In the woods and fields throughout April and May.

Season A 507

Motley/staples area.

Good luck team 3.

[x1957x]

Dillon here. Good luck to all and have a safe hunt! I think I won the youth turkey division last year. I hope it works out for me this year also. I am a year older and better on the calls. Cant wait to go. First season in 501 is when myself, brother, and aunt and uncle go. Not to mention my grandpa Jeff. I watch the forum here and we have a good team on here again this year.

[123fish]

123fish checking in. I will be hunting southwest mn. 504 B for my season. Possibly take a buddy out in one of the later seasons if things work out. Just got a new black lab puppy a few weeks ago so scouting has been nonexistent. I will try to get on something in the next few weeks. Anyone have suggestions for a team name?

[walleyehunter02]

I am cool with whatever for a team name. How about an acronym using numbers or the first letter from each of our team members username?

6DAWPDC? 6 (1+2+3) Dudes Awaiting Wandering Poultry to get Deadly Close!

Oh and the C stands for Champions!

[8point]

I'm here! Guiding a disabled veteran April 11th-12th. Hunting Minnesota season A, Wisconsin seasons C,D, and E.

[DonBo]

We've all checked in, and it looks like we have a great team this year! Lot's of you are hunting the first couple seasons so we should have a bunch on the board before many other teams even get out of the gate.

I've posted all the dates we'll be hunting, so we can keep track of who's out and about.

Dillon, since you are a youth, you can hunt the entire season if it doesn't happen for you the first weekend?

How about throwing out some other names? Not sure if "6DAWPDC" will fly, but hey, I'm good with anything!

Kevin, I've seen some of your calls, and they look great!

[123fish]

I'll steal a name from the Seahawks..."Legion of Boom!"

[DonBo]

"Legion of Boom" works for me, even though two of us are archers (I will be using the shotgun in WS). Walleye, as the only one who's archery only, what do you think?

"6DAWPDC" Dudes Awaiting Wandering Poultry to get Deadly Close!

Anything else? Maybe we should let the youngster choose something. Dillon?

[8point]

I'm up for anything really

[walleyehunter02]

Same here. up for anything. boom works for me.

[Archerysniper]

2nd place? Just throwing out ideas.

[DonBo]

2nd place? Just throwing out ideas.

You go home now. NO SOUP FOR YOU!

[DonBo]

So the landowner of one of the properties I have permission on called me this morning. He said there was the biggest turkey he's ever seen strutting around on his property this morning. Think I'm going to get up early and start some serious scouting this weekend. Anyone else?

[123fish]

Heading out with a buddy to listen at daybreak at a couple of spots. Hope to hear my first gobble of the year.

[123fish]

Heard my first gobbler Saturday morning. Might save that one for my buddy later on. Need to check out a few more spots in the next couple of weeks.

[8point]

I was scouting last weekend. Birds were still in pretty big bunches. Hoping to lay down the first tom of the year next weekend during the disabled veteran hunt in central Wisco

[DonBo]

Yep, heard my first gobble of the year Saturday morning too. Also saw a hen getting bred, a first for me.

Had a really good scouting trip yesterday. 40 birds on one spot. 40! Also saw 6 toms in one small woodlot I hunt often for deer. Thought this would be a last chance, fall back spot, but there were a bunch of birds here and the landowner told me she's had them in her driveway often lately.

[DonBo]

Come on guys, FIRE UP!!! Half you you get to hunt in just 6 days. Getting excited? What are you seeing for activity on your properties? Any new gadgets or tactics?

Name? "Legion of Boom"? Unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to change it.

Let's hear for you all.

[ANYFISH2]

Legion of boom is fine with me DonBo.

Scouting has been very limited for as I am running kids to activities and working a bunch. Not much for reports from me.

Will try to make a concerted effort over tbe next 7 days and get a last minute set.

Very excited to tell the truth, always am though, the chase will be more traditional this year without the snow we've had the last couple of seasons. Not looking forward to picking hundreds of ticks, love the chase all the same.

[123fish]

Going out this weekend and do some more early morning listening. Sounds like the weather is going to be pretty good so I'm hoping for the best.

[walleyehunter02]

Was out scouting Wednesday and saw plenty of birds but didn't hear any gobbling. On a plus side we saw 8 groups of birds that had 2-8 hens in each group and each group had at least 1 tom/jake strutting. Boys are ready!! getting pumped! Hopefully my mom will have her bird down by 8 am wednesday Let's go with legion of boom. Mom will be firing the boom stick Wednesday

[ANYFISH2]

Finally made it out to scout the morning roost, but of course I ran late and birds were on the ground at about 6:25. I found one large group of 21, 5 toms, 2 jakes and 14 hens.

I also saw 2 lone hens on the far south of property and one lone LARGE tom. He is probably in the mid 20lb range with a 11"+ beard .

Going to try and roost some birds in the evenings and make a set Tuesday. Wednesday is all about my getting my daughter any legal bird so I will probably set up for the group going to thier strutting field.

At least have some numbers to work with.
