3rd week in now. The Catskills were tough but we were in the game. The same for Pa, it was on fire yesterday, I thought it would happen.

Me and Jr are still going pretty hard. I needed a day to recharge. Tomorrow we'll be at it again. We've been close but no CeeeeeGar yet..

Keep after them Trackey!! I've been super frustrated with crappy weather and blown hunts. But it appears that the hens are dropping off to sit on nests. So hopefully it will happen for me soon.

With 6 gobblers in the last week, we're up to 8 gobblers. We need our 9th bird, and 2 or 3 upgrades to win. Get out there and pound the brush for gobblers guys!!l
We're currently in 5th place, BUT, we're in striking distance of everyone except perhaps the Killer Bees. The Fat Lady ain't singing just quite yet. :fud: :turkey:

We're currently still in 5th place, with 519.76, but we're a whole lot closer to moving up!!
Keep at it guys!!! :police: :firefighter: :fud: :turkey:

Thank you for the study in futility. True, The Roaring 20's are presently sitting in 5th place, just 41 points behind the Mighty Mud Daubers. An important point to note, The Roaring 20's are in 5th place with 8 scored gobblers. When we add our last full scoring bird, The Roaring 20's will cinch this little pony show and wind up in our rightful place as THE 2025 CHAMPION TEAM. AGAIN. If you find that boring, I understand.

Cheers  ;D

Raining good here right now. We're going to slip out around 8. The radar shows it slowing down to a trickle. Fingers crossed.

We still need a couple of upgrades to protect our rank in the standings. We're in 3rd place by a slim 3.504 points.
In reality it isn't very likely that we're going to catch the 20's or the Bees. We'd need 31 and 45 points, which is a highly unobtainable goal with upgrades. Still, I'm very proud of you guys!!!  :icon_thumright: :police: :firefighter: We were the last team to start hunting, the last team to get their first gobbler, and the last team to reach 500, and look at us now brothers!!! :funnyturkey: :icon_thumright:
