Well...I've worked my butt off now I can relax and get up at 4am to chase gobbler birds for 8 days straight.
If I can't post a bird in that many days in these places, I just need to quit! Lol

Pic of work...
Big gobbler in burn unit next day.



Hope to chime in plenty soon this week coming.

Reminds me of a time that a town i lived near had a huge crow issue. They where roosting in the town by the thousands. After a few months some enterprising fellow pitched the idea of lacing their roost tree with concussion grenades to scare them off once they got settled in for the night. The town approved it and gave fair warning to all the residents. Well this fellow waited until the dead of night and the trees were covered in roosting crows before he touched it off. What he and the towns people were not prepared for was the reaction that startled birds have when something like this happens. There were plenty of unhappy citizens when they went to get in their cars to go to work the next morning.:)

Everyone's a champion before the game.... it won't be long and the big dogs will be unleashed.

They were really on the move the last couple days here. I think the flocks are breaking up and the old birds are establishing their turf. I have seen them in the fields and I sat and listened to one old gobbler work his way across a ridge for a half mile. I saw a dandy in the pasture field Saturday, he played that game all last spring and I gave him a pass. He looked pretty good through the binocs, so I may just pull his card this spring.

Congrats fellows! Better send a picture to gobblenut. He is probably lost and trying to call in an ostrich somewhere in Texas.

Sooo...how many we allowed to enter is it two just biggest or biggest of the season ? If I get bigger ones can I log them 3 GA and 2 FL, only biggest counts for my entry as a snood team member?

I tried to find rules page but some reason Tapatalk isn't pulling it up with the limited service I have.

If I remember right you can upgrade as many times as you would like but can only enter one for the competition.
