TEAM # 6 Trick'm N stick'm

[rbs]

We still missing a member of our team...hmm

[Tippman]

Think I said earlier I'll be hunting central MN 223 during the B season. If things aren't working out with the bow I could end up opting for the gun as well this year. Applied down in Iowa but wasn't drawn.

[Nate McVey]

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't checked in before this.............

The name is great, team looks solid and I'm excited for the upcoming season! I'm heading to Michigan on the 20th for my hunt, I took a jake last year as I only had one day to hunt and it was my only opportunity to take a bird. There are a lot of birds up there and we are on private land so with 3 days to hunt this year, I should have some better luck.

Can't wait to hear about everyones hunt, good luck!

[rbs]

good luck shiner! Are you hunting mn as well?

[Nate McVey]

I'm not hunting MN this year. This is no excuse, but I just moved down here in July of last year, started a new job and got married so I didn't do any scouting...........hopefully next year will be a different story.

Headin out to SOdak with a friend tomorrow. He has an archery tag so I will be with filming and calling. It should be fun and get me fired up for the big ol toms!

Sounds like there are going to be a few people out in the woods in the next week.

[Sorgy]

Anybody getting tired of everyone else getting out while we are sitting on the sidelines? I know I am getting the itch. The bow is ready, the blind is ready(painted the interior black), I am ready now all I have to do is wait a month

Good Luck in the B season Tippman

Go team

There are a lot of really nice birds harvested already.... Congrats to all of the hunters

Thanks sorgy, I'll keep the team updated on how it's going. Unfortunately I won't be able to hunt my "A" spot tomorrow though..

[KG243]

Don't let that old guy slow you down Tippman! Make hims shot the jakes!

[rbs]

outfished...what town you hunting near?

[Tippman]

Was a quiet morning. Heard a few gobbling at first light then they shut up and never saw a bird. Tomorrow looks to be a little nicer out.

[outfishedagain]

I'm hunting this weekend near Granite Falls. I just got back from Kansas which was a wet and windy bust. But This weekend will be a different story. i'm going to hunt till i get one this weekend.

[rbs]

Been out asking permission to hunt and have seen a lot of birds. Not much for hunters tho which is how it always seems true till I go and hunt and there is somebody there already...lol. I wish you guys luck that is for sure. I don't start till May 15th...long ways out

That is a good area around Granite falls, lots of birds along the river. Have a good hunt!

[outfishedagain]

is it Saturday yet? I can't wait, two years ago i shot a big one. I hope this year i can do the same.

[Tippman]

I took a nice bird this morning. Details to come.

[Sorgy]

Good Job Tippman the team is on the board

Steve

[ac777]

Yes! good work, looking forward to details..

[Nate McVey]

Well guys, I hate to say it, but I never even got a chance to help out the team. The plan was to drive 6.5 hours to the UP on Monday night after work, but mother nature decided I shouldn't be turkey hunting this week as she dropped 12 in. of heavy, wet snow over most of the UP. Tuesday wasn't supposed to be any better (rain, snow, wind), so I decided to call it. I do have till the end of May, so I'm not totally out, but it doesn't look good........

Good luck to everyone else that's going to be out soon!

[outfishedagain]

nice job tippman!!!!

[Tippman]

Alright so I was able to go to my "best" spot the second morning of the hunt and brought a buddy who happened to be turkey hunting for his first time. There was gobbling close right away at first light but then it became quiet until about 8:00. I really wasn't too worried about this since I knew the turkeys weren't getting to this area till late from my scouting experiences. Then I looked out and saw about 8 turkeys walking out into the field about 250 yrds away with the last two being gobblers. Somehow I was able to call the toms away from the hens and they came in on a string. Ended up both shooting at the same time on the count of 3 taking them both, that was pretty exciting. I did end up using the gun since I wasn't able to get any time in with the bow before season.

24 lbs 6 oz.

1 1/8 and 3/4 spurs (3/4 was broke off)

Awesome job!

[outfishedagain]

NICE! Its amazing how it can work out in your favor sometimes. Especailly when they leave their g/f's for a new one at the end of your barrel.

[Borch]

Congrats Tippman!
