Jeff, you can count me in but I'm not quite sure how my hunting schedule is going to work out for this spring season.

I assume the 100 post minimum rule remains in affect in order to join the contest?

Glad to see people checking in, will update our team list as people check in. pite0007 if you can wait to see if all of the rest of last year's team shows up? we had 12 members; I am sure you would be welcome to join us if we have opening. If I remember correctly teams were limited to 12?

Sent PM's and emails out to SpellNJ3 and Spadle160. Hopefully we hear back soon. notsure's friend would like to join, Ive asked him to post a picture in this thread, and as long as everyone is okay with him joining, I would like to welcome him to our team.
This contest is for fun and about our shared passion for hunting Turkeys. It works best when you stay active on here. Post up some pictures of your scouting, hunts or whatever.. just participate. We are all not going to be successful every year in harvesting a bird, but its more about our shared passion in that hunt.

I have no problems with any additions to the team. Been practicing with my wingbones and box calls since new years. Havent done much scouting but will get started soon. Also been making some box calls in the offseason. Does anybody in the group use boxes on a regular basis?

Always carry 2 different box's, 1 will be a Turpin handled box, then whatever is next in rotation.

snoman4 thank you for wanting to join us. We are still waiting to hear from 1 member from last year, would like to give him till March 1st. Contest rules require you to be able to post a picture, I think you have figured that out before, I believe you posted in the threads. But please feel free to post up a picture here and hang out till 3/1.

This bird made a fool of me many times last year...so he will be my target bird..

Muzzy61 got one last with his .410 last year I dry fired on the day before he killed it.  My slide was ever so slightly pulled back from getting up and using my gun for assistance when I made a move to get in front of him after his hens cut me off.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230227/1495b5b41e9475a22d556b21b89a36f3.jpg)
