Introducing those who need no introduction

Guys ya know, Goats wander off. Bees go where the Queen goes. Flocks get busted up. The Roaring 20's know when we've got a stellar elite team of Champions. Each member brings their own keenly honed skill set and inborn talents that have proven to be the 20 gauge death knell of scores of vanquished Kings and Roguish companions. Witness the crème de la crème that we are.

For 2025, we have the highest number of returning team mates in our history. Although we know the others well from our last stunning campaign, let's please take a moment to reintroduce ourselves to the team again. Tell us whatever information about yourself that you feel comfortable divulging that doesn't directly violate your FederaL Witness Protection Program directives.

Alright, I'll get us started.

My name is Norman Sisson and after retiring 3 years ago, my wife and I moved to St. Paul, MN. My wonderful wife and I have been married for right at 45 years and have raised 2 beautiful, strong and talented daughters who are out on their own. I have been chasing turkeys on and off since the spring of 1974 when I was at college at Mississippi State University. Back then, because there were not that many turkeys, no one really wanted to tell anyone anything about how to hunt turkeys and certainly wouldn't tell some punk long-haired hippie looking kid where to could find them, so I had a rather long and frustrating learning curve. I am now able to pursue my lifelong dream of making art, making works in printmaking, graphite, acrylics, watercolors, sculpture and digital graphics. I am a 2 time world champion of the wingbone yelper division of the Grand National NWTF Turkey Call Competition, but I had to quit making them due to aging eyesight.

I started hunting with a 20 gauge after I won an NWTF Edition Remington 870 Express at our local NWTF banquet. I have it pretty much dialed in at this point. This year I will be shooting 3seasons' TSS #9 shotgun shells. They have been very good to me and the gun loves them. These days I can be found hunkered next to a tree hunting these naïve Yankee gobblers on public lands that Minnesota is full of. Not to be too brutal, but the birds seem to have not been called to very well and respond eagerly to my southern accent. Who am I to complain?

I never grow weary of the spring rites of this glorious strategic chess match that we play with this magnificent game bird. I still stop, place my hand on his soft silent body and take a quiet moment to thank God every time that I take one. Total Respect.

Cheers  ;D

I threw up a little in my mouth reading this. You guys are almost as bad as those nasty goats.

You will throw up some more after we go back to back.

They put the GOATS first in their little pregame prep talk. They already subconsciously know the natural order of things.

Goats are irrelevant in this contest, can't win here killing jakes and bearded hens.

Try washing that down with a little goat milk. I'm sure Happy or one of teammates has a hind teat you can borrow. :funnyturkey:

Don't knock the goats boys, roasted goat is fantastic. Over a charcoal or wood fire, or in this contest, mmmm mmm good. Z

Pretty impressive resume, FullChoke...but I see you seem to have scared off the rest or your squad from introducing themselves...  ;D

Hi, I'm Sappy the Clueless Science Guy here again with Misinformation at the Goat Pen. We all know that mammals suffocate on B.S. The common misconception is that people and Goats suffocate and ultimately can die from being deprived of AIR or are unable to BREATHE. Another blatant wad of fake news is that choking means having severe difficulty in breathing because of a constricted or obstructed throat. Well there you have it kids. Don't let anyone try to confuse you with facts or correct spelling. Believe this, if there is one thing that Ole Sappy and his wethered Bovidaen crew know everything about, it is choking.

Find your side of the fence.
