Hey team 1 how about " the gobla-nators" eh catchy ain't it lol !

[bcbrez]

For the guys who noticed. The teams got changed around this morning. It started out at 5 teams of nine but as soon as I posted the team threads more people wanted into the contest. So I put the new guys into team 6 and then added one guy randomly selected by the guys I work with from each of the other teams. Team #6 is still down one person so they will get anyone still to sign up.

Sorry for any confusion.
Nick.

Hey team 1 how about " the gobla-nators" eh catchy ain't it lol !

Hows about the "knob gobblers" and you are our team captain????? Lead by example Chad :)

[Brez]

Hi, team. Great to be teamed up with you. Gotta say that "Knob gobblers" is a little hard for me to swallow. Any other suggestions?

[Brez]

Check out Team #6 tread. They have a few name suggestions. We should steal one of theirs before they pick one.

Thats Dirty pool

[bcbrez]

Haaha. First to claim the name gets it, but with the names this team is going with they might as well be the " FEATHER FLUFFERS ".

[Brambles]

I thought Knob Gobblers was a great name for you guys....lol

[Brez]

Hey, "brambles" get on your own thread!! .....and you too bcbrez!

[Good Old Outdoors]

No idea what to call ourselves!

We should set up hunting plans soon.

[Brez]

I think I've got mine reserved for openning day, but....who knows.
I am helping a couple of buddies from the LML on Sunday and Monday and then I can help out whomever may need it. Ang-brez, for sure. If anyone needs ideas, just pm me.

[Good Old Outdoors]

The Gobbler Effect
Snood Dudes
Spur of the Moment
Turkey Jerkies, or my personal favourite
The Breast Bangers

Just a few, more to come

[Good Old Outdoors]

I may need some advice on locations, I have been looking quite a bit with no success..... Spent all day out today but you know

[doubled]

[Brez]

Sheesh, we're going to have to use pm's for privacy.

[Brez]

So, is it official then? Are we the Knob-Gobblers?

[Brez]

Caruncle Tom??

[OutWest]

ok how about these:
Spur of the Moment
The Breast Bangers

I'm a fan of those 2.

[OutWest]

And as for hunting plans, I'm away at college and already have some in place with family and friends. Anyone needing some information can pm me though and I will gladly help you out.

Uraarchr and myself were on the winning team last year so let's take the title again fellas! Hoping you all have a great experience and get up close and personal with some longbeards.

[Good Old Outdoors]

I will definitely send you a PM if my luck doesnt change. So far all my scouting has been a bust.

[ang_brez]

Hi everyone.
I like "Spur of the Moment".

[Good Old Outdoors]

It seems we can't all decide on a team name haha, but all that matters is that we all connect on a gobbler. Thats where it counts

[Brez]

Shall we let the lady pick? Don't matter to me, I've been called many names. Getting the birds is what counts. Most of the ones I've been scouting have left for greener pastures or prettier hens - except the 5 toms strutting in the guy's yard down the road every morning. Teasing little .......!

[Good Old Outdoors]

Haha yeah she can choose, a name isnt what counts. sounds like you are having better luck then I am right now. Given all the miles i have put on this is gonna be one EXPENSIVE gobbler! Might bust out the wifes Corolla and use that to get me from A to B rather then my truck. I am picking Nicks brain a abit so hopefully my luck changes soon. Scouting saturday and possible camping overnight if all is good. Happy hunting

[The Dude]

How about the "Uncle Toms"?
Then you'd have Al Sharpton all over your ass. :D

[bcbrez]

Ok sounds like you guys are going with team " Spur of the Moment ".

Good luck.

[rocksteady]

I am planning to be up and out early early on opening morning to an area that I know holds a large population...

[ang_brez]

Only 2 more sleeps:) Hope my turkey that I seen a few days ago is in the same spot for opening day. crossing my fingers. GOOD LUCK TEAM!

[Brez]

GOO, I've been blowing an hour every day/night and truck gas just trying to keep tabs on the ones I've seen. The big herd is betting smaller by the day as they find better feed as the snow recedes. I am over doing this 'cause I know that I can find them anytime I want to later. I'd like to get one early for a change so it won't be so damned tough!
As far as names go, I'm good with whatever anyone else wants.
Ange, Pick one and we'll go with it.
Good luck to everyone....gotta go practice with my bow.

Dude, you kill me! If you weren't so funny, I'd ask for proof that your gobbler doesn't have a beard - or spur.

[OutWest]

[SHAKER]

well i hope you have a knob gobbling good time trying to stay #1 !!!

[Brez]

It's 4:30am and time to go. Good luck team!

[Brez]

Well team, I got lucky this morning, I got a young tom. He was the dumb one that hung around while all the others flew across the valley.http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb395/Brez2/DSCF1279.jpgIt's the one on the right. My partner got a decent one. GO TEAM!

[Brez]

Oh, he's missing more than a few feathers 'cause I had to wrassle him (rather than blast him again) and they were lost in the tussle.

[Brez]

oh, again - moron me....I cleaned him before bringing him home and weighing him! Ah, as I am often heard saying - " the mind is a terrible thing to lose!"http://i1203.photobucket.com/albums/bb395/Brez2/DSCF1282.jpg

[Good Old Outdoors]

Congrats Brez! I didn't get out today as the area I went for came up empty!

[rocksteady]

Right on team mate....

I went out yesterday, got to within 75 yards of the roost tree, had them calling really good, but when they flew down they went the other way and it was a bit too far for the shotgun.....

There were at least 4 toms, 1 big mature one was strutting and gobbling his head off...

Tough luck, Mike but awesome that you found a roost tree. They'll very likely keep that pattern if they're undisturbed so keep at it! Good luck.

[Brez]

OK, Team One - What's our name again? If anyone needs help, send me a pm and I'll try steer you in a good direction. Of course, you'll understand that I'm obligated to help out Ang-brez when possible. And I want to...honest.

[rocksteady]

Blapped one this morning.. Small jake/tom with small beard, but oh well I am not that picky, he will be a very good eater..Will post all of the data after work..

Pretty lame hunting story......Went to area near roost tree in the dark, sat quietly till it got light enough to confirm that one of the 15 or so birds had a beard (there was a lot gobbling but this was the only confirmed beard), shot him, back in town by 07:00

[OutWest]

Nice work, Mike. Congrats on the bird!

Here in Christina Lake right now with Quesnel Kid and ryancoe6. Fairly quiet last night and this morning. Ran into shallowH20 and heard that SHAKER managed to drop one yesterday!

[eastkoot]

Good, a turkey is a turkey..

[Ddog]

I have it from a good source that Mike indeed has found a roosting tree/s
there were close to 50 or so birds in there the opening morning, we had a good time calling them, they just never wanted to commit to us when there was so many hens with them

[Brez]

Well I am wrong again! Just finished telling a my two hunting companions that there is no point going out in the rain because the turkeys don't respond and are just interested in feeding. Shortly after that, in the pouring rain, we limited out and watched three big toms, which were gobbling up a storm, walk away down the road. Got them on video.
Told a friend and he went out in the rain yesterday and had a few good chances.

[doubled]

Nice Brez!!! We had a rain day last weekend and they did not respond much but it could have been the pressure too.

[rocksteady]

15 lb bird, spurs 5/7 and 1/4, beard of 2.5, so by my calculations. Grand total of 28.75 points...

Will try to post a picture of said bird in a few minutes

[doubled]

Well done RS, hoping to get out one day next weekend but things are crazy with buying a new house and selling ours.

[Brez]

Weather is sunny and hot and the hunting should be nuts right now. I'm done with our archery shoot and may have some time to help out anyone who needs it

[Good Old Outdoors]

Alright everyone, tomorrow I head down south for my big turkey hunt, I should be out for a couple days at least. I will keep Brez informed on how it goes and I hope to get my first ever turkey and do the team proud. Let you know how it went in a few days.

[doubled]

Good luck GOO.

[Good Old Outdoors]

Well I am back from my hunt, saw some nice birds and learned quite a bit. I wasn't able to connect with a bird. I went out with bcbrez and Brez this morning, unfortunately if you cant see a bird you cant shoot it. bcbrez was lucky enough to connect with a nice Tom this morning after a mad dash way up a ridge which was brutal.
After a long few days of hiking, getting soaked both in my tent and out searching for birds, and pulling a solid 12 ticks off me today ( just found another 30 mins ago on my leg making a mad dash to my junk), I think its safe to say I will stick with hunting down those goofy looking birds.

Once again, Brez thanks so much for all your help in showing me all I need to know about turkey hunting, and hospitality. And BCbrez, even though you are on a competing team, it was nice to meet you, see you get a nice bird, but because of your practical joke, I still am paranoid about ticks on my neck thanks to you!

Until next year

Tristan

[Brez]

12 TICKS!! wow, didn't I tell you to stay out of the bush? You'll notice that where I walked I got only 3. Guess what? After retracing all of our steps of the day before, I found out that my wallet was at home. A couple of choice words and glasses of wine to cool down. Was great to meet you and I'll keep some days free for next year if you can make it - even if you're on a different team.

[Good Old Outdoors]

Yeah, I found the last on at home. I changed out of my camo and put some shorts on, 10 mins later i cound one crawling up my calf and faked a throw into the girlfrieds hair just to stir the pot a bit. That sucks about your wallet, but at least you wont have some purchases from some dodgey adult site billed to you in the near future........unless you are into that then, good on you. But it was definitely nice to meet you both down there and I will do my best to make sure I get a chance to make my way down there next spring. I have already been asked by some friends who mentioned to others that I went on a Turkey hunt where exactly to go, so I told them Christina lake, I'm not saying nothing haha.

[Brez]

Hey, GOO, I've got a lot of other spots that we just don't go to that I don't mind sharing. They are just as good, and we can't and don't have the time to cover them all so if your friends want suggestions, send me a pm.

[uraarchr]

Will b heading out this weekend to try to get a gobbler.taking the kid with me and hopefully get my first ever turkey.headin towards GF ,christina lake anyone want to feel free to pm me a good spot.goin to the spot we went to last year and haven't really hunted them anywhere else.will b bowhunting
