"Tumblin' Toms"- Team #2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MJCatfish]

How about the Jellyheads? Start posting suggestions on our team name here if you'd like.

My son is hunting the youth season, April 19,20 in Ottertail County. Been seeing lots of birds and wrapping up some good land access.

I'm hunting in Becker County and did some scouting last weekend with some great success. We're excited to see what happens for us in season C.

Good luck to everyone!

My suggestion is Team Spring Mayhem. Nebraska is where I'll be hunting first with Minnesota next season E in the far southwest corner.

Hey just checking in!!! Jellyheads or whatever we can come up with will work, I will be hunting mn in season B so it should be a blast!! Looking forward to hunting earlier in the season. the last couple of years been hunting the late bow season. good luck to all.

When is everyone heading out for birds?? Has anyone done any scouting yet or driving around and seen birds in your area?? I have been doing some driving and seeing birds so I am getting excited!!!

[MJCatfish]

Yes and yes. Been putting on lots of miles driving the same back roads. We've been seeing birds in lots of areas. Saw a pretty cool spur fight the other night and have seen toms strutting and jakes attempting to strut. It's coming quick!!!!

I will be hunting Carlos Avery April 26th thru the 30th, this will be the first time hunting there for me. It took three years to get this tag. I have been scouting the areas I will be hunting and this past week I have started to see tracks in areas that the birds haven't been through winter,so I think they are starting to disperse a bit with the snow melting.

I was out yesterday mourning trying to get some toms to gobble with a coyote howl and did not here a single gobble, but I did kil a coyote.

I know Carlos Avery well so I am pretty excited about this hunt,I am going to stay mobile and not use a decoy, just use terrain and set up in small openings to get my tom.

As for a name how about Wrinkled Necks it was sugested by a friend and I thought it was funny.

Good Luck,

Dave

[fishermusk]

Good luck

so have we decided on a name yet? we should work on that I can't believe that I will be heading out in less than two weeks, it will be awesome to get back out in the woods with a turkey call in hand!!

[fishermusk]

A few more suggestions,

Limb hangers

King of beards

These are a couple i came accross from other forums

Good Luck,

Dave

[123fish]

O.K. we have possible choices of Team Spring Mayhem, Jellyheads, Wrinkled Necks, struttin drummers, Limb Hangers, King of Beards, Tumbling Toms (new one I added) anymore? Were picking a name tomorrow O.K.?

[MJCatfish]

I vote for Tumblin' Toms.

MJ

[123fish]

I second Tumblin' Toms.

[fishermusk]

I like Tumbeling Toms the best.

Good luck,

Dave

[mnmuzzleloader]

Tumblin' Toms sounds like a great one lets go with that?!?!?!

[123fish]

Tumblin' Toms sounds like the winner. Who's going first? I will be hunting north central Nebraska next weekend Apr.18-21.

[mnmuzzleloader]

I head out the 21 here in mn so that is right around the corner I have to get out and practise a little more with the compound, if I decide to take that or take the long bow I have a couple of days to get that stuff worked out!!!

[MJCatfish]

My son will be hunting the youth hunt on April 19-20 and I'll be hunting season "c", which starts April 26th.

Good luck to all and pray for decent weather!

MJ

well lets get the name changed on the beginning of the thread and lets put some birds in the book!!!! when the weather finally breaks we are going to have some birds gobbling!! I am going to head out sunday morning and do some early morning scouting so that should be a blast!! Have a safe weekend and lets tie up some birds!!

[123fish]

Let us know what you see as far as scouting. I'll be out nosing around this weekend also but by the time I get to my Minnesota hunt (season E) the public land I hunt is going to be pretty well worked over. Just not that big of area to start with and now they doubled the permits for the that zone. I have three parties from where I work that will be in there before me and that's just guys that I know. Oh well that will just makes it more of a challenge. Going to have some nice weather next week the way it sounds.

[fishermusk]

I saw a nice tom with a hen tuesday. He had a very thick beard, they were only twenty yards off of the road. Have yet to here the toms gobbeling this year. Three more weeks till my season. Can't wait.

Good Luck,

Dave

was out this morning birds were everywhere and I am sure that they were all limb hangers?!?! not Jakes, but when they flew down it was all pretty quiet?!! did see some strutting in the fields so that was a really nice thing to see!!! one more week can hardly wait.

[123fish]

I was out yesterday a little and today a lot. Found a few new spots and saw a couple of jakes on Saturday. Pretty limited hunting areas here in the far southwest corner so anything new is good. All on public land. Heading to Nebraska next Friday so here's hoping the nice weather keeps on coming.

[MJCatfish]

Spent a fair amount of time scouting this weekend. We saw several flocks of birds, some on the land our youth hunts are on and some close by. When this snow melts in the next day or two, I'm hoping to see the birds traveling in a little more. We're getting close!

MJ

[MJCatfish]

I went out tonight and found out where the turks are roosting for my son's youth hunt on Saturday. We will check it again, from a distance, as the week progresses. Saw 3 hens, 1 jake, 2 maybe 2 year old birds, and 1 really nice tom. They were pushing and shoving and chasing each other around as I watched through the trees in a pasture connecting to a very large chunk of woods. Man, I can't wait!

MJ

Have your son drill that big bird and save one of those two year olds for your self. Good luck to your boy for sure. I'll be heading to Nebraska tomorrow to hopefully inflict some gobbler damage. Top priority is to get my buddy a bird as he has never shot one. Sounds like the weather is going to be decent so that's a plus. Time to start tumbling some Toms!
