Had a few open spots so I went ahead a filled one of the spots.  Everyone please welcome Bowguy to the team.  He is very active on the forum and I think he will fit right in with us.  I think he will help us get those extra birds that we need and never seem to get.  I will let him introduce himself.  Thanks!

Hey guys,
Thanks for allowing me to join. I've never been part of the contest n actually didn't see this til now so I'll be learning as I go.
Been hunting turks since the 80s. Back than my state was very restricted. We'd get a permit once every 3 years on average.
I'd practice w a mouth call all year n many friends would draw the permit n couldn't call, fortunately for me I could. The experience doing so helped tremendously since back than in my area no one would help you. 
During the same time frame or shortly thereafter I began to hunt NY. The first bird that came tip toeing down a Catskill mountain will always be in my minds eye. I was elated n couldn't wait to get home to tell everyone. It was a longbeard to boot, I couldn't be happier.
In time as, in NJ, our permits would last only a week, I'd tag out first 45 mins of morning  n look for someone to call for. We had tons of birds around here than.
Mentoring is something very dear to me, I've often said I'd rather call for a kid or newbie just to see a successful smile or the look in their eye as a gobbling bird approached. 
I'm pretty competitive n this contest already has me fired up for spring.
I'm a hunter ed instructor, archery instructor, was a full time taxidermist and volunteer time at jakes days , disabled vet hunting/fishing events, family fishing events.
Glad to join your team n hope I can help out.

Please also welcome BABS9 to the team.  He is joining us from NY.

I probably will not add anyone else until I hear from other members.  The two slots I have filled were opened by previous members, hate they did not rejoin, but glad for the new guys.  Thanks!
