The Roaring 20s, Old Gobbler's premiere Turkey Hunting team has thrown their collective camo hats in the 2024 ring and let all those who lay eyes on it quake and tremble in mortal and egotistical fear! Boys, 2024 is our season of the Reckoning!
All former team mates who would love to breathe the rarified air on top of this mountain of the vanquished post on here as your public intent to rejoin our Merry Band of Pranksters and Gobbler Yakuza.
I am eagerly looking forward to hearing from our team mates and getting this thing going and dealing with the amateur attempts at smack-talking from our resident ankle-biters. I find their efforts so adorable.
Cheers ;D

10-4. I have already marked out several chalk outlines of future deceased target species. You just gotta fill them in. Easy, huh?

Boys,
We are already starting to see the scales tipped "unfairly" in our favor. I say "unfairly" simply because we are in the game. Our roster continues to fill. This is gonna be fun.
Cheers ;D

They were tipped until Z showed up, now they just completely bottomed out on our side. We are pretty much guaranteed a win at this point. Might as well get some hats printed up with "Roaring 20's 2024 OG Champs"
I'm ready for action and signing in!
If we go by weight, I will tip the scales, lol. We will give it what we got. Fun will be had by all. My personal bet was productive last year. I got a box and wingbone from another team, not to be named in public. But I have had no challenges yet this year. I will bet the wife our pushpins to keep it interesting. Actually, if I threatened her OG pushpin, I would have zto defend myself at all times, lol. She loves that thing. Z
In. All in.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Thanks for getting the band together Norm.

Sorry for hi-jacking into your post. I wish you all great success this spring, however you should give us a handicap with this Mr. Z on your team. This guy is a legend, a turkey magnet. It's kinda of unfair to the rest of us. All kidding aside, best of luck to all of you dudes!

Thank you very much kind sir. We greatly appreciate the sentiments. Good luck to you this season and above all stay safe.

Amen my friend! Be safe :turkey2:
OK Tom, enough of the foolishness. I will take you hunting as promised, lol. I have a particular bird picked out for you. Talkative but not sociable. It will be fun to try to nail him. Z
Well, soon we should be moving out of this disaster shelter housing and into the palatial estate Les Années Folles where we don't have to make sure that these Vieilles Chèvres Syphilitiques don't eat our TSS wads. The sooner the better...

coups de feu tirés :z-guntootsmiley: :TooFunny:
I'm officially on injured reserve as of now. Three of my four rotator cuff tendons were 100% torn and the last one had a 20% tear. My surgeon repaired it this morning, surgery went well but one of the tears was massive and could take up to a year to completely heal. I've got 46 days until season opens up and will be shooting a .410 left handed with basically one arm. I'm not at all disappointed or discouraged, I feel blessed to be able to hunt this season and am looking forward to be on the winning team this year!
Brother, by all means take extra care of your body and don't incur any more damage to it. Turkey hunters will find a safe way. Please be careful.

Don't despair or rush it. I had a major rebuild 1 1/2 years ago and it is as good as its going to get. The younger you are and the more closely you follow the PT regimen, the better your recovery. My bicep tendon was unattached for years, yoiu will get it back. Do your due diligence and listen to your body bro. Shooting lefty with a .410 will focus you too. :funnyturkey: Z
Cannonball, I don't mean to hijack your team thread, but I want to encourage you. IN 2009, I broke my right elbow and a piece of bone with tendon attached ended up 5 cm up my arm fully ruptured. My elbow was useless. I lucky was referred to a surgeon who specialized in these kind of repairs. He rebuilt my elbow and reattached tendons. I spent 5 weeks in a cast and 8 weeks in a fixed mechanical brace. He made it very clear if I ever wanted anywhere near normal use of my arm I had to follow his treatment plan to the letter. If I tore it lose it could not be repaired effectively again. Of course this was during turkey season. I got a shooting stick and some dove loads and went to the range and started practice left handed shooting off a stick. It wasn't pretty, but after three misses I finally killed a gobbler. It was a full year before my arm felt normal and I had strength, don't get discouraged and do your PT. That same surgeon tested my arm at 90% after I finished rehab and he told me I was his poster child for success. I never cheated or pushed my luck on the restrictions he gave me. I saw other people in that office who cheated and paid a big price....do what they tell you!
You nailed it eggshell. Follow the plan bro. :you_rock: :you_rock: Z

I'll be fine. I'm hunting my family's farm, so I've got help right there in case it's needed.

Thanks Z, I'm going to follow my doctor and PT's advice to the letter, unless they tell me to not go turkey hunting. ;)

I appreciate you chiming in. I'm going to be diligent with whatever they recommend I do for recovery. I have a plan in place that will allow me to hunt this season.

I plan on it. I'm a tough old bird myself. I'm using ice and Tylenol only and have been fine so far. I don't want any pain pills. If it gets to hurting worse I'll just rub some dirt on it.
@FullChoke I sent you a PM recommending a new teammate , please let me know if you received it.

Wish you all the luck this season, but eggshell is absolutely spot on, my boss is home now healing from knee surgery, 3rd one in 4yrs, because he didn't do what he was told by Dr. and rehab. Never gained use of knee, they had to cut and re-repair tendons for 2nd time. Sounds like you have a game plan, tie your repaired arm to your body so you will not use it, slow way down walking, no falls. Good luck.
