I also had a question. Where I hunt I have the chance on taking three species of turkeys(excluduing Osceolas) and including hybrids. So are we only scoring Easterns or do Rio's and Meriams work too.

[Borch]

All subspecies are scored under the same system. As long as they are a wild turkey and harvest leagally during the contest they'll work.

[RodNGun]

Excellent Thanks Borch

Super Spur's for team 7, I like it. How about Gooblin Googlies or The Good Gooblas (The Good Fellas)

I'm cool with whatever we come up with.

[Wanderer]

Thanks for cheering me up fella's! I'm kinda new to HSO and its been great since I've been here.

I wish I would have explored the site more and found out about this Turkey contest. It does sound fun!

I'm going to take a break from the "Pat" situation and go to the Black Hills for opener (first time) this weekend. This talk is lifting me and getting me anxious like I was a few weeks ago. If I would have seen this earlier, I would've put together a team too. Something like "The Record Makers".

Forgive me for bragging, but I hafta. It may never happen again!

I got a 29lb 4oz several years back and was with my brother when he missed one that looked a little bigger! It could've all been an illusion though.... SE Minnesota at the end of May, who knows? Quiet birds ~ hunt em like deer and talk soft! Oops, shhhhhh......

Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing results!

[Borch]

Have a great hunt in the Black Hills! It one of my favorite hunts. I love those merriams in that gorgeous scenerary.

[Wanderer]

Thanks Borch!

I've never hunted the Black Hills before but was lucky to fill a cancellation spot. I hope to keep it!

I've seen the video's of course, and it does look mighty pretty. Also, I need a Mirriam fan!

Anybody out there shoot Turkeys with a rifle? Its a new concept to me. I plan to use my shotgun (not good enough with a bow yet) but I'm taking a .22-250 in case I can see em but not get em close enough. I picked out a low expansion round with medium weight retention.

I hope to hit the head if I use it but I've heard of guys shooting the body at the wing base. Am I looking at sacrificing meat when using a rife? The gun is zeroed at 200 yds and I can hit quarters at 100 every time, but quarters don't move!

Not sure how fair this approach is, but we only get a few days on new turf. I've found that I consider every bird a trophy for one reason or another.

Thanks.

[tealitup]

I think you would sacrifice some meat if you shot low - but if you can hit the head at 200 yards GO FOR IT! thats one heck of a shot IMO.

It is just as sporting as shooting a whitetail at 100-200 yards. Have fun and bring us back some pictures

[Wanderer]

Tealitup,

IMO too! ALL the stars would have to be aligned for me to consider a 200 yarder, but if I have any stalking ability at all, I should be able to cut it down to something less rediculous. I picked up a bi-pod just in case.

I won't kill it iffen I caint eat it!

P.S. No word on Pat. Thanks for the responses.

harvy said I am on team 7. I am pumped now, pick up 2 turkey guns to day and on the way home there were a flock out by where I will be hunting. I gave them a few quick love calls and they went wild. Its going to be a long 4 weeks till I hunt.
