Thanks for posting but this is the Spur Collector team board.
Under a month till youth. Going to have to shoot the turkey guns in the next couple weeks.
Got a SumToy for my 11-87 in yesterday. William is a great guy to work with. I had that SumToy for the Hevi 7s but it did not perform like I wanted. Had it for a while but decided to contact him to see if he would exchange it, worst he would say is he wouldn't and that would have been understandable because of the time that had elapsed. He took it back and exchanged it. Great customer service and I would recommend him to anyone.
Got the SumToy, Pure Gold, and RSF that I am going to test. Hopefully one of them will give me what I am looking for. Going to shoot the ole 835 to make sure her POA and POI are still good. Going to feel good to shoulder that ole girl!

Thats great to here. Keep us posted on your results. I got to make sure my POA and POI are still good as well. I believe my patterning days are behind me, content with my chokes and my Win. 5's and how they perform.

Awesome! KY is one of the states near the top of my list of places I want to hunt! Hope you give us a good run down of the trip and I cannot wait to see the gobblers you knock down!
I will be starting in AL on March 14th this spring. The last weekend of March I am headed South Carolina for a few days. Then in Tennessee for a few weeks. I will either finish up in Kentucky or Missouri I am not sure yet... Would like to hit Kentucky since I have never been but we shall see. Good luck to all this spring!
Looks like turkeykiller 12, turkeykiller 22, and myself start this weekend. I know ya'll are looking forward to it as much as I. With a little luck maybe we will have a couple to post up. The weather is looking good for my neck of the woods and all signs are pointing toward hearing a few birds. All went well with my practice run for youth season and I'm confident of some action this weekend. I would love to shoot one, but as I texted Donald, what I'm truly looking forward to the most is a "spirited pursuit". I happy if only to talk with one for awhile. Good luck, be safe, and hunt smart.
Good luck everyone! Watched one strutting from my kitchen window for about 7-8 hens in my neighbors yard on Sunday AM. Bad part is we live within city limits so no hunting. Listening officially started this AM, none heard. Looking forward to some dead turkey pics.
I was out doing some shed hunting / scouting yesterday and came across the track of two gobblers that were cruising bare spots. I ended up spooking them down the field aways. Glad to see that they made it...

A lot of snow has melted off...some bare spots in the fields...but the drifts along the hedgerows are still several feet deep and will be here in to April for sure. We've got several more days of temps in the upper 40's ahead...hopefully, it'll melt a bunch more of it.

Where at in Indiana are you from and/or where do you hunt?
Looks like trkehunr93 will start on Saturday and WNY Bowhunter is not far behind on the following Saturday. Good luck guys!
Fingers are crossed! I have been out listening every morning since Saturday. Prior to that I have been out at least 3-4 times a week since mid-March, I wake up before daylight really well now ;D. I've located 5-6 birds at the place I hunt, spotted two of them (mature birds) in a field Tuesday AM with two hens. Last two mornings gobbling has been sparse and nothing this morning. There is a larger flock with two gobblers that have been hanging out in a cowfield next to the farm I hunt and they have been roosted on or close to it several times so hopefully the hens will keep bringing them over the boundary line. One more morning to listen and a roosting session tomorrow evening and it's game on Sat.

Good luck my friend! I am going back after some birds that I tried yesterday with no luck. I will be checking the board periodically to see if one is down.
Good luck to you. Hope they're fired up ready to die.
Leaving for KY next friday to hunt for the first 3 days...then the NY youth season opens the following saturday and then our regular season opens the friday after that (5/1). It finally looks/feels like spring here in the northeast. I can't wait!!!
Good luck DRN in Texas! I am green with envy! Going to be watching my phone hard the next few days for pictures!
CJ Stahly is going to get going after some Missouri longbeards he has been scouting Monday! Good luck my friend! That ol boat anchor will knock them down the way you have it set up! ;)
Be careful traveling to Kentucky WNY BH. I know you will give them birds trouble!
bigbird is up next on the 22nd. Looks like all the Spur Collectors will have been in the woods by this time.
Good luck everyone and remember to give it to them, have fun, and most importantly be safe!
Good luck guys, looking forward to lots of dead turkey pics!
The car is all packed up...my wife gets home from work at midnight...then we plan on heading out around 2:00AM which will have us arriving in KY in the early afternoon tomorrow. The landowner is going to show us around the farm and hopefully we can roost some prospects for saturday morning. :z-guntootsmiley:
