MD wrapped up today so that's it for me! It's been yet another "hell of a season" that I am more than happy to share with this group of killers! Parts of this year were pretty tough. Early, birds were so henned up still that it made things pretty difficult. And trust me I hate using that as an excuse, but finding late morning toms without hens just wasn't happening for me.. First week I killed a tom that had 10 hens with him.. 10.. :z-dizzy: He was one of two this year that never made a gobble. I feel like birds didn't really break from their hens and "get right" until the second to last week of the season. Also seemed like there weren't many 2 year olds around, although I finally did end with a 2 year old yesterday evening, it was the first one I had put my hands on all spring. Nice thing about that, is of the birds I did kill, had a few with some pretty fair hooks. All in all, awesome year. Not my best #'s wise, and ate a few more tags than I care to admit.. but a respectable season by any one's standards... Can't wait to do it all over again next year!
Great job to the team, we had a pretty fair showing this year for sure.. and word is there's a bird out there that needs to be posted that'll put us over 600. That's pretty solid! :funnyturkey:

Hell of a season you had there buddy. Now just because I let you hunt my spots the last couple weeks, doesn't mean you can hunt there next year! :funnyturkey:
Another great season big guy. Congrats
Nice job!
600 with no multi-beards or multi-snoods allowed is quite a feat.
Way to cap off the season man. I feel the same way about the way the birds acted this year. Makes it a nail biter right out the gate.
Awesome job congrats

Yeah I agree! Between derek, white lightning, chcltlabz, bowhoop, and to a lesser extent me, mid we got the mid Atlantic region turkeys covered lol. It does make it nice that we are a group of good friends that waterfowl hunt together etc, and we can be a bit secretive at times when it comes to turkeys... But heck, two of the guys(Derek and bowhoop) were in my wedding, whitelightning and myself were in Derek's wedding, derek is md bowmans son and whitelightning is bowhoops son.... Lol. So to say we are a close knit group is an understatement! We put in a great effort and have a great team!! Even me who is so skeptical about contests is starting to enjoy it more...
