I changed the big birds to 70+ this year. It seems like the birds are getting bigger and there were so many over 65 last year this will make it much easier to keep up with. There were some hosses killed last year.

Well, that leaves any gobbler killed in this part of the country out. Thinking about it, I have probably scored at least 300-400 gobblers from these parts over the years...ain't none of them ever scored 70 points. ::)

Yup I agree. That's actually a factor in this contest. The guys out west are screwed as far as high scoring birds. While guys killing easterns are pooping in high cotton. If your team is made up of all eastern guys you have an advantage. Some areas in particular have bigger birds. So it's not a skill thing as much as a location thing. I personally have several birds in the 70s and I've probably shot around 200. While people, like Gobblenut says, have shot twice that and never seen any in the 70s. THat doesn't mean this isn't still a lot of fun.

Exactly...but really, who cares? The entire point of the contest is to have fun with other OG members, both on your team and those on the other teams. Kudos to whoever ends up winning the contest, but for it to be fair, there would have to be a modifier of some sort included in the scoring based on where somebody is hunting. No need to complicate matters...just have some fun with it. :icon_thumright:
I think we have a new leader... and maybe a 70+ bird.

Reflexl, Team GNH just started hunting 5 days ago. We've already got a couple gobblers. If you get a chance, please check out our team page and add us in. Thanks!! :icon_thumright:

Sorry fellers. I just got it updated. I have been too busy to breath lately. Two weekends in and I haven't even got to hunt yet. Still fixing stuff for the new company owners. Planning on hitting the woods Saturday.
Good Luck bro. Z
We broke 500!!!! :funnyturkey: :funnyturkey:
We should rename the" First to 500" THe team that hunts first, LOL. :OGturkeyhead:

Agree Zelmo, that milestone is South skewed. In the words of the great American commander and patriot John Paul Jones, "I have not yet begun to hunt!"
But congrats to the Flock regardless 😊👍
Good going, everyone. I haven't been keeping track of everyone's scores but it looks like most are having pretty good years. Congrats to the successful hunters!
Update 4/30/25
With 4 gobblers in the last 3 days, Team GNH is overcoming our late start and we are nipping at y'all's heels!!
Don't count us out just yet, we want our trophy back!! 🏆 :police: :firefighter:
I like how things are shaping up. Average bird scores are where they need to be, even though I ruined our average, so It looks good so far. Congrats to the "9 bird teams" Z
Scores as of 5/31
Team Guns N' Hoses is making a strong push!!! With 7 gobblers and a jake in the last week, we've broken the 500 point mark, and are gunning for more!!
Don't count us out quite yet, we want our trophy back!!! 🏆 :police: :firefighter: :fud: :turkey:
I just updated team scores. This has not been my year. I have only got to go hunting once. The company I work for was bought in January. The previous owner tried to crash it intentionally. The buy out was contingent on me staying and fixing the disaster. I agreed to do it to protect all of the other employees jobs. It has been an ordeal to say the least. I will update big birds later.

Sorry to hear that. What a PIA!
I didn't get to hunt much of anything the last 15 or so years I was working. I did environmental remediation work and whe the weather broke in the spring we were foot to the floor making for slow conditions in winter.
Hopefully your situation gets squared away sooner than later
You are a good man reflexl, most would cut and run. Stand up guys make those hard calls. I applaude your actions my friend. Z
