Hey gang! The new bar has definitely been set. Yesterday I talked to a friend of mine who's a butcher and someone from the lower mainland brought him a bird that weighed 27 lbs, had a beard between 10 and 11 inches and 1 1/4" spurs. That's the biggest turkey I've ever heard of from around here. I don't imagine it'll be like veal.

14.25 + 1.875 + 2.5 + 8 = 26.625

BIRD DOWN.......

Went out this morning with Brez and Good Old Outdoors, trying to get Good Old Outdoors his first bird. We had two going right away but we were unable to close the deal on them. So back to the truck to go try another spot. We located another couple toms and closed the distance. We were able to get the one to come to within 30 yards of Good Old Outdoors, but no shot. I tried to work my way around behind it but didn't get there in time and it had already crossed the road. So after about a 800 yard chess match of a stalk I was able to get a shot and knock him down.

17lbs 6.5oz, 11/16 left and 11/16 right spurs, 8.75" beard = 48.65

Holy Crap! Do your friends call you "Shroom"?

MOSS sounds about right. We use him to clean chimneys.

[Brez]

C-man, that bird would have really killed on score if the left spur matched.

[Brez]

bcbrez, can we have an update on team scores?

[bcbrez]

So the prizes from Grouse River still haven't showed up in the mail. If they are not here by Monday I will be saving them for next years contest. We still have more than enough prizes for the amount of dead birds this year.

[bcbrez]

Well this is it, the last day. Anyone out for one last kick at it?

[SHAKER]

Nope worked on a life size black bear till 3:00 and took off bass fishing for the evening. Pounded the smallmouths real good tonight too!

[300H&H]

Damn....I got skunked this year !!!

Sorry team #2

[bcbrez]

Well that's the end of the season then. Not as many birds down as I thought there would be, but it was alot of fun. Thanks everyone for participating, hope you enjoyed it.

[NickH]

Pretty fun contest - thanks to Team 4 and BCBrez!!!

[Brez]

Thanks, bcbrez. Had a lot of fun.

[.300WSMImpact!]

great contest had a lot of fun, and good work teammates! hope it will happen again next year, I'll be here to help

[Brez]

Well, guess what? I took the dog for a short drive this afternoon and had to stop to let what my friend calls a Pterodactyl cross the road. This tom's head was as high as the hood of my truck!................OK, maybe a slight exaggeration, but it was as big a bird as I have ever seen. As it climbed the bank I had a good a look at the biggest beard I've ever seen. I'm thinking 11" to 12". I was so dumbfounded, that I didn't get a chance to check the spurs - it was that close. I'll be keeping an eye on him for next year. Real tender too, I bet.

[Champman96]

Thanks a lot bcbrez for this awesome contest ! and YEAH TEAM 4!!!

[Good Old Outdoors]

Well I couldnt connect this year but had a great time trying.
Thanks a lot bcbrez for keeping us up to date on the scores and prizes.
See you next year.

[coach]

Thanks, BCBrez, for putting the contest together. Congratulations to all of those who had success this spring. Thanks, Shaker and Boscheefish for your offers of assistance and thank you, 300H&H for taking me hunting on opening day. No luck for the Coach this spring - but fun contests like this are awesome for getting hunters connecting with one another.

Okay, the prizes have been drawn. This is how it went. Team #4 wins this year and each team member gets a 2012 turkey contest hat. The biggest bird with a shotgun and the biggest with a bow each get a tail fan mount gift card and the smallest bird gets a HBC hat. Then everyone who entered a bird was put into a draw for the other prizes. If you don't send me your mailing address by the end of the month you will not get your prize because I will be to busy to worry about it after that.

We really should try and keep this an annual thing. Just a great excuse to make some new friends and have some fun.
