Gobbler Nation

I usually write the hunt story down.

Till we get Fuzz's WI birds figured in, here we are at 10 birds entered:

Hawglips: 56.25, 59.6, 64.23, 32.88
Joshua: 59.8125, 53.625, 59.4375, 53.25
FuzzSawyer: 71.125, 66

Total: 576.21

She's awesome!

Joshua, I guess that's Gobbler and Jaybird's call....

Don't sweat it TS. Tough years happen. I've still got one tag left and Fuzz is going after a big WI bird or two, so we may still end up with 10 and even culling a bird if things go our way...

Wow.

Looks like we got 'em on the run boys...

If I had a vote, I'd say that for guys who actually scored the bird, in spite of not having all the pics right, I'd say let's allow the bird to count. I don't think anyone would cheat...

TRKYHTR

All the shells used, including the .410, are my TSS handloads.

We've still got a chance to put another bird or two up. It would be good if we end up being able to cull one...

TT, I live in NC.

I've got a 3-day trip out west planned in two weeks, and the chance to fill one more tag.

Is anyone else on the Flop Masters still hunting?

I finished a life-time grand slam in 2002, with an osceola. I never tried to do it in one year, though I had the chance and didn't go on the final leg of the hunt. However, this year I set out to do something a tad different. I wanted to kill one with the 4 competition (skeet) gauges -- 12, 20, 28 a...

Do we know who is winning at this point?

Beautiful scenery! Congratus on filling your two tags!

I'm trying to get in shape for a 9,000 ft merriams hunt in a couple weeks. I imagine I'll be struggling the first day regardless, going from 300'.

I didn't know they loved cicada either. Looks like you had a blast!

Way to go Joshua!

You've got 5 down but only three posted up. Those other two will get us to our 10 bird limit, and then we can cull some...

I didn't hear anything gobble on the roost, so I eased along towards the creek hoping to hear something down there. As I got there, I heard a bird gobble back away from the creek, so I made my way to the vicinity. When I got fairly close, I called and got no response. So, I set up for a spell to cal...

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing the pics and score!
