I kinda expect that out of a bunch of limb lifting, 70 yard shooting, tent dwellin, fake turkey totin, nuckledraggers. 

You forgot "reapers and fanners", but other than that, you got us covered.   :toothy12: :toothy9: :toothy12:

And feeder commandos. Picture this, a wood shelter (called a blind, but looking more like a small house), a messaging  recliner, a big screen TV with headphones, A light that flashes when the feeder goes off and a permanent gun bench so you don't even have to hold your gun and of course an optional electronic call you can run with a remote in the recliner. True "A" team Old school hunting. Us poor hillbillys are just thrilled to have a moth ridden camo shirt, a rusty old single shot, a hand me down mouth call ( found in the pocket of a man at the hospital where our wife works as a janitor) and an old box call we found along the road with one side busted. Still we'll kill our old tom, and he be a biggun

You forgot about their laptop computer with satellite internet capabilities and that is hooked up to the gun on a special remote control gun rest so they can aim the gun and tap the screen on the cell phone to get it to shoot so they don't have to risk one of the floorboards in the "Blind" creaking.

Now you've gone too far!  That's just not sporting!
...And I ALWAYS make sure those floorboards are glued down so they won't creak.  And another thing, you've always got to check that feeder to make sure it is full before you get in your shooting house and turn on the TV to watch the latest turkey huntin' YouTube videos while you're waiting for those gobblers to come to your perfect electronic calling!   :toothy9:

Man you guys have it good. Once season starts if my truck will start I plan on sliding out to one of my spots in WV. Its gonna be ugly, utv's running round everywhere with 22-250's loaded and ready. The fields will all be covered and any gobbler that opens his mouth is gonna have bullets smacking the tree around him. But I will persevere and snoop around with my single shot, open choked shotgun, clothes so old and torn I could be accused of baiting. With a little luck I might be able to "yep up" an onery old gobbler to within shootin range and take care of it. I may just decide to go to public ground just to avoid the craziness. That will involve a lot of uphill hiking but at least I can get some peace and quiet. Yep, the odds are stacked but I just think we might be able to pull the upset.

Yeah, but the flipside of that is that I make anybody that hangs out with me look really good in comparison.   :morning:

Oh my Gosh Happy if they make us hunt on a golf course we're in trouble....I played golf once and they asked me to leave the course.

I know what you mean eggshell. The last time I played, farmers were following behind me planting corn.

Heck, we might as well make you two guys honorary members of our team!  You guys on here more than most of our team members.  That's okay,...makes it easier for us to keep track of you two!   ;D

I think I'm gonna check with Shannon and see if he'll let us use a couple of your gobblers in our team score.  I think there is a rule that if a couple of Yahoos post more on your team site than the team members, you can use them as "substitutes".  ...kinda like the water boys at the end of the bench...    :toothy12: :toothy9: ;D

I prefer being referred to as a hydration engineer as opposed to water boy.

Okay fine folks and Gobblenut...season kicks off here for me in central Florida on Saturday(i tried to count the hours but run out of body protrusions). Looking forward to hopefully using this scale i had to get from the fishing section of my local time machine that is our Walmart.
