Turkey hunting forum for turkey hunting tips

I will be more than happy to keep up and post team running scores as I have done in the past unless someone else wants to do it. I also do a big bird tally for birds 65pts and over. If someone else wants to do it just let me know . If not I will just start it on this thread. It makes it nice to check scores at a glance in one place.

I didn't know Kroger sold them with the feathers still attached. Huh. Learn something every day.

I will try to get this updated later. I have been fighting covid for a week and a half. Back at work today and nearly feel like a human again.

Sorry guys. I was down a few weeks with covid and still playing catch up especially at work.  Some awesome birds killed for sure.  It wrecked my season including my Texas trip for rios. I will try to catch everything up in a day or two.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Glad you're on the mend. Thanks for doing what you do.

Thanks fellers. As always I enjoy the friendly competition. It really bothered me for a while that I didn't get to add a bird to our team score. I finally realized that it couldn't be helped. This is the worst turkey season I can remember. I can't remember when I was more excited to get after them. Some of yall know I collect antique guns and turkey calls.  I had some old guns and calls that I was all excited about getting on a bird. I barely got started when I got sick. This was my second round with covid. I had it last summer. It wrecked my plans. A buddy and I were supposed to head to Texas rio hunting and I came down with it in time to stop that. My TN hunting had just got started when I got sick. I still don't have my strength all the way back but much better than I was. I am hoping and praying that 2023 is a better season. As a safe guard I am going to plan to hunt some states next year with late seasons. May try to do an early state and late state. Huge congrats to everyone that was successful. I haven't haven't caught up the big birds but there were some awesome birds killed in most of the teams. I don't remember a year with this many birds over 65 points. I will have to go through all the team kill lists but I know one of our guys killed a 76 point bird. That to me is an ostrich.

Glad you are recovering reflexl. Scoring points for a contest isn't a top priority for the GOATS. Talking smack, laughing and enjoying turkey season is our main mission statement. It was a good idea by Jim and Dana to just get a bunch of longtime members who are regulars on OG, known to like to have fun and cut up together to participate. I suspect for most of us on the GOATS, turkey hunting is not a competitive sport other than us vs gobblers so I wouldn't feel bad at all. Sucks that you didn't get to get out and hunt much this spring though.

We had fun and it was a great group, if we never scored a bird I would still be satisfied....to quote Forest Gump, "That's all I got to say bout That"; and to modify a quote "I just felt like turkey huntin, no special reason". Reflexl you posted and participated and done the team list, your good in my book.

I think you missed a couple of the big birds from the roaring 20s... one was in the 80 point range

Yall left off good looking. I have to rank somewhere on that list. I have been doing this a long time and the trash talking is one of the best parts. I really missed wearing old roost out. I hope we can keep this same bunch together for next year. Hmm , I need to make time today to go poop on all of their porches.

It's good to hear your feeling better,
it is a big letdown waiting all year to do something you really enjoy and then not to be able to get after it.

just think next year your guns will be even more antique-ier than they already are.

Hope you keep improving and get back 100%

Congrats to all the winners and large birds taken. And Reflex, thank you for keeping the running score totals. Have a safe off season everyone....

Just got them. I was trying to catch that up while I am supposed to be working. lol
Boy there were some big birds killed this year.

If anyone sees a mistake or a missed big bird just let me know. I am doing this in between the cracks today.

That was a monster you killed. Huge congrats on a huge bird. I enjoy keeping up. Its fun to see what everyone is killing. I sure missed it this year. Think about it all year long then had to set it out. Good Lord willing I'll be back with bells on.

Hunting with bells on takes the challenge to the next level.

Unless your hunting reindeer, then it's better than a grunt call

Maybe a combination reindeer and sabbatical hunt?

Some terrible pics as usual.... No one over 600??
Maybe next year.... Lol

The terrible pictures were intentional, just part of our game.... Our primary mission was not killing all the biggest turkeys (we already know we can do that) but to be the champions at harassing, trash talking, friendly banter and aggravating people who take it way to serious. Oh yeah, in the process we discovered we had a world class sabbatical hunter on our team.

Thanks Roost for confirming we accomplished our mission.

Before anyone get's their pantiies in a wad....just having fun.

I don't think the terrible pics comment was directed at anyone in particular.  Anyone playing should read the rules about pic requirements and if requirements aren't met, the birds are disqualified.
It's very simple to read and follow the rules.

Congrats to the winners. 

You can't be the man until you beat the man.......
Crusaders 6x CHAMPS!!!!  :funnyturkey:

Maine closes out tomorrow, think I am safe to say " Congratulations" to the GOATS, was a lot of fun being involved in the contest then just sandbagging. Looks like the "Scattered Flock" will get involved again next year. Thanks to all the team members who helped this 1st year team, was great getting to know you all, look forward to next season. Have a safe and great summer. Jeff

Yep but until you kill a trophy sabbatical your accomplishments are all for naught.

Congrats to all and thanks to those that participated in the smack talk. That was the best part in my opinion. To all that were successful a huge congrats. High scoring gobblers or low scoring don't matter. It's true score is what he means to the person toting him out. Hope everyone has a healthy and safe summer and if anyone feels like stirring things up you may find a GOAT or two willing to keep things lively

X2, thanks to all who helped run this fun contest. It sure was a blast, congrats to the Goats!

Congrats to the GOATS!!

It was fun fellers. Hope everyone has a safe and fun summer and fall. And if anyone gets bored they can swing by the GOATS thread and run their mouth a bit. We welcome all hecklers.

Most people playing in the contest will just asume The Crusaders won AGAIN, because that's the way it's always been.  At least for the last 6 years.... LOL

Just a subtle reminder you can't be the best until you beat the best.  :popcorn:

I am in full agreement brother. Just is , the " best " need to field a team. The current champs are the Goats. So my sights are set on the champs that show up. Just sayin it's tough to beat something that ain't there.  :funnyturkey:
