I really enjoyed all the discussion, stories, pictures and even the ribbing that went on. Congrats to everone who was able to get out and hunt these great birds. It actaully was pretty close. Several teams were one nice bird away from first place. To those who won prizes please send me your mailing address at [email protected] . I'll be heading out of town so the prizes probably won't go out until the first week in July.

Thanks everyone for the great time!

This year's contest was a success, due in large part to all of the hard work Borch has put into organizing such a fine event. Furthermore, he made some pretty good looking calls for prizes that I'm dying to get my hands on. Thanks for all the hard work Borch!

I'd also like to thank Chris Walls, owner of Wall's Calls - http://www.wallscalls.com/ for his support of the contest. Chris not only makes calls that look good, his slates (I own two!) are the softest, most versatile, and most realistic pot/striker calls I've had the pleasure of using. As I continually work to rid myself of extra calls and accessories while turkey hunting, these calls rode in my vest all season long. Thanks Chris!!!

Last but not least, thanks to all who participated. I learned quite a bit from our collective experiences, as every turkey hunt contains some nugget of turkey wisdom. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for putting on a great contest. I guess the Turkey Trash Talkers need to eat some crow (when crow season starts).

Well done for everyone who harvested a bird - congradulations!

[huntmup]

Congradulations to Team 4 and everyone that scored a bird this season.

Success should not always be measured in the harviest. It's what you learn from each hunt and what you can add to your bag of tricks for the next one.

This was a lot of fun and I learned so much from everyone.(Thank you jnelson)

Thank you CW and Borch for donating the calls. They look great. I guess I will have to contact CW Calls .

To next season, happy hunting and straight shooting.

Way to go my fellow teammates on Team 4. Thanks for picking my and Dietz "slack". LOL As I posted earlier, this was my first season after longbeards and I had an absolute BLAST!!! I'm an avid bowhunter and definitely had my chances this spring. I'm just glad that my calling was effective, especially being I don't have a mentor, except for all the guys here on the Turkey forum. I'm already looking forward to next spring!!!

Congrats as well to everyone who entered regardless of whether you killed or not. Specially my fellow team mates. When the contest was first mentioned I simply thought it would be a entertaining way to compete against those in my (original) home state. I doubt that I'll ever have another chance to have a bird like mine respond and saunter in to my pleading calls. Good news is that his gentics are on and around the wonderful piece of private property that I have the exclusive priveledge to hunt.

Now it's on to more bass tournaments. Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable summer.

A big thanks to Borch and all others who helped put this together - I think its safe to say that all who participated enjoyed it. Hope to do it again next spring...or how bout a fall contest? The longbeards flock up where I deer hunt every fall!

[Gordie]

Congrats team 4 you guys had it hands down.

Thanks to everyone that particapated. This was greatest time sharing, ribbing, and the hunt stories were awsome to say the least. it also feels like a sucessful hunt without even getting a bird.

A special thanks to borsh and all the guys that put this together and of course the guys that donated the prizes.

Can't wait til the next turkey season.

Congrats to the winning team and also all who were skilled enough to harvest a real trophy.

I wish my bow would have been finished so I could have went out. Oh well, theres always next season if picked.

For the ones that didnt harvest a bird, I'm sure it was a learning experience and there is always next season. Its just fun to get out into the outdoors.

Thanks to all who helped put this on. Nice job.

[Nate McVey]

Congrats to the winners, and thanks Borch for putting this on. It was a lot of fun to see everyone get involved and share some stories. Till next year!

[Surface Tension]

A big Thanks to you guys for putting this on. Borch thanks for donating the calls and strikers. The mini sounds sweet BTW and the strikers have their own tone. Very nice work.

Definitely a keepsake and I'll charish(sp) them forever.

Congrats to all and thanks for the stories.

[RodNGun]

First of I would like to thank everyone that had a hand in this competion. Special thanks to Borch for his part in the organization and the sending of prizes. Thanks to team 4 and especially Wallydog and SurfaceTension. Congrats to everyone that scored a bird as well. Those birds are beatutiful and much respected by the this man. May the hunting of fish tide everyone over til grouse and duck season.

[Deitz Dittrich]

NO WAY!!!!! My first year turkey hunting and I am a Winner Winner TURKEY DINNER!!!! Who cares if I myself got a bird!... I was moral support for my team which caused them to WIN!... YES... I may never hunt turkeys agains! The awesome feeling I have right now just may be enough to last a lifetime. Thank god I checked the Turkey forum one last time!...

Just like Christian Laetner(who knows how to spell his last name) I am a winner!

[harvey lee]

You mean I lost to you DD. Congrats.

I guess I lost to that dude from Twig also. Boy, I guess I should have shot a turkey instead of ending up one.

[fishnhooks]

Congrats to Team 4.. Great Job .... but just wait until next year

I guess I hope we can do it again next year, it was a fun little extra twist to the season. Thanks again!

The stuff was fun and the info was great ! Congrats to the winners . The main thing I discovered in my 1st year Turkey hunting is that there will be a 2nd and hopefully on my 2nd try I'll get one .

[Nate McVey]

Rod & Gun just showed me the striker and all I can say is WOW! Great job and congrats again to the winners.
