[DonBo]

Guys, what's the deal? Some of the other teams are already filled out, we're not even up to bat yet? That doesn't hardly seem fair.

How about you huntingmamima? You must be up this week? Then hooks? Man, is May ever gonna get here?

[huntingmaxima]

Can't wait to see the pics and score sheet Monday! I should be hunting right now....my uncles is just infested with turkeys at the moment. His brother-in-law got one right away yesterday and just sat in the blind watching. He said it was jakes and tom 3:1 over hens and claims he saw half a dozen hens. My old man hunts there next week.

I have a great area but due to the distance and gas prices won't get much scouting in. I can't guarantee anything although I've been 100% for years. No offense if anyone chooses, but I go home empty before I yank one on a jake. I will guarantee I'm gonna giver er hard! If we had next year's zone structure in place this year I'd be more confident. Good luck maxima!

[fishnhooks]

Congrats maxima,

Sounds like a nice bird to get us on the board. I start this Thursday. I can hardly wait. Sounds like rain Thurs and Fri though.

Great job maxima

"hooks"

[badfish]

Awesome, I better get out and do some scouting I got May 6-10th and I have seen many birds on the property I'm hunting. I just got to pattern them just in case my calling is a little rusty

[huntingmaxima]

badfish, are you in 218 down there?

[badfish]

No i'm in 223.

[Cooter]

Way to go Maxima!! Good luck all, 9 more days for me!

[DonBo]

huntingmax, way to go! That's a great bird in anyones book. Way to stick it out in some real crappy weather. 8 more days for me.

[Sabo]

Way to start us off! 18 days to go!

[DonBo]

huntingmax, just saw your registration. You doubled up with your buddy? Cool! I hunt with a friend in the same blind a bunch. We have only doubled up once. Makes for a great morning don't it?

[huntingmaxima]

thats my youngest brother.

[DonBo]

Well, congrats to both of you!

[Cooter]

Apparently the landowner where I'll be hunting has turkeys up the ying.....says he's been seeing 6 dandy toms out in his field on a regular basis - and he's hearing other birds gobble in the woods while watching the 6!

Just thought I'd go ahead and jinx myself.

[huntingmaxima]

Cooter, good luck and just be patient. remember the hens are starting to lay now so if you do not see one right away just be patient. those males will be covering alot of ground while she is off to the nest.

[DonBo]

I hear ya Cooter! 6 more days, man, can't wait. Sounds like we may have some of the nicest days of the spring for our hunt also.

Gotta like it!

Who's up? I think hooks started today. Good luck!

[huntingmaxima]

DB,best of luck to you also

[badfish]

Any other birds of ours on the board? Who's up next?

I'm up tomorrow, been doing some scouting the past couple days i have seen a lot of hens and jakes and only 2 toms so far. Hopefully that will change when I get out there. I got 3 different properties to hunt so if one isn't productive I can go to one of the other 2. I better go make sure everything is all ready...wish me luck.

[DonBo]

Go get 'em badfish. Looks like nice weather the next few days. My season starts Wednesday, think Cooter has the same. Today is hooks last day, was hopeing to hear his story by now.

Good Luck All!!!!!!!!!

[Cooter]

I'll report on Wed afternoon, hopefully with a bird. I think my odds are pretty good.
