Team #6-"Cold Turkey"

[1986 Ducker]

Why? You'll just miss again... Hahahaha... Sorry I could help myself... Good luck guys...

[cnelk]

We're gonna have scattergun tags this time too.

I cant remember the last time I missed with a shotgun....

So, were going after the contest winner with the shotgun, then just for fun with archery!

Our new motto is "4 Birds Down"!

Can't wait to give it one more shot, literally !! I missed with the bow, but I hope I get a shot with the shotgun. Cnelk has done a great job finding us some areas to hunt, we are packed and ready, tomorrow we head out to give it one more try, hopefully we will have some luck.

[skullclnr]

K- were officially trying again....wish us luck and well let you know how it goes next week.

[cnelk]

The "Turkey Mafia" shortens the list!

Cnelk didnt get a shot opportunity but what a time we had (AGAIN)!

Congrats Skullclnr! Are you hooked now? Looks like you guys had a good time again. Cnelk, did your boy come along again? Glad you guys had fun...I had to work all weekend.

[cnelk]

Nope...my son didnt make this trip.
He missed some school on the trip before, and he had some football to attend.
He sure wanted to go though

Man it was cold and windy most of the time!
I've been warmer when I go archery elk hunting!

We figure for some "rookies", we did alright.
Learned alot - Alot to learn!

And yes - We are HOOKED!

Nice job guys! Congrats skull..

[skullclnr]

Thanks guys. It was a great experience, but HARD hunting. He came all the way across a large opening to my hen decoy, gobbling a few times, 24 yards and my heart was pumping. 4 inch beard, gum-drops for spurs but a trophy in my mind. What an experience the whole trip was! Wish he could have been a long beard, but got to start somewhere. We had a good trip, cold windy and wet a lot of the time. Like Cnelk said, we learned a bunch, but have bunch to learn! We are hooked...well be back next year!!

I really have to thank Cnelk who did ALOT of research and calling to get us on some great private areas, its great to have a guy like that as a hunting buddy.
