1.) Swamp Fox - 03/19/2015
You no what to do...:grin:
2.) Swamp Fox - 03/19/2015
I'm in.
Whoever's hunting earliest this year (besides me) is going to determine the deadline. Seasons are already open some places. Texans and Cornholers are coming up fast. I suggest a March 24 deadline but I'm open to going out to March 31 if someone can convince me that we have a lot of lurkers or FNGs who want in.
I'm only here as unofficial Gobbler Meister (Shut up!) until OHBH wakes up from his coma, if he ever does. It's his baby back (mmm, babybacks!) if he wants it, but time was a-wastin', so somebody had to do sumpn PDQ. :tap: :fire:
[COLOR="#FF0000"]This just in:
I neglected to put an end date on the turkey contest, I think. We'll go out to May 31 unless there are some objections.
Also, if there's a demand, I'll put more people in the contest if they request it in the sign-up thread, which you're in now.
You must be signed up for the contest before the kill. Otherwise, I can't count your gobbler for competition.

You can put me in if you want but I'm not sure I'll get to hunt. We have a lot of hunters this year. :wave:
6.) bluecat - 03/20/2015
You might have to offer a sign on bonus. :re:
7.) Swamp Fox - 03/20/2015
The bonus is you get to hang out with the internet's most awesome hunters...:grin:
Hunter, I expect to see at least a few videos of multiple gobblers double-gobbling, then...LOL...Don't cry "I gotta work" to me....:wink: :grin:

9.) bluecat - 03/20/2015
Bring it weaklings, I'm a 'playa'.
10.) Swamp Fox - 03/20/2015
When's the first chance you have to hunt? Merriam's or Easterns? Or hybrids? Public land? Where's Crablegs? Why'd he change his name? Are you two still friends?
I got like a ton of questions today...

Those questions were for Crookedeye, but Bluecat can answer, too. It's liable to be another slow Friday around here, LOL.
12.) bluecat - 03/20/2015
The only thing I have to do today is cross all the Big Twelve teams off my bracket for losing. Other than that we can get into personal stuff if you need to.
Turkey opener is April 6 here (bow only).

You think DP will stop waxing his truck long enough to hunt?
15.) Swamp Fox - 03/20/2015
Wax on, wax off...You never know what he's really up to...
16.) bluecat - 03/20/2015
...or what he is really waxing.
17.) bluecat - 03/20/2015
I just can't see him scratching the bed liner or taking it on dirt. I bet he joins the contest and then just dry-labs the whole thing with some grainy photos of the turkey he got in 04. I'm pretty sure Luv2 does that too.
18.) bluecat - 03/20/2015
We just expect that from Luv2. The whole red plaid wool shirt from 1964 isn't fooling anyone anymore.

[QUOTE=bluecat;30650]My turkey decoy is named Loretta.[/QUOTE]
Loretta is a great name for a decoy. I might have to steal that.
I already named one of my look-out hens Miss Prissy, so Loretta might be for a breeder, LOL.

I like Tina for a feeder...

Loretta isn't going to play any games. If she does I'll pattern my shotgun (if I owned one) on her.
Although this is her first year, I think the guys will be lining up.

It might be funnier if the breeder hen was Miss Prissy (and cartoon-correct, too, since Miss Prissy had a crush on Foghorn Leghorn) but what can you do? I don't have a breeder yet (unless I pimp Mary out) and I already named the lookout.
Hmmm...I'll have to think about this....

24.) bluecat - 03/20/2015
I see your point. You generally want a "Miss Prissy" type (Racquel, Brigitte, Farrah, Pamela) to be your breeder. The gingham dress, bobby socks and pigtails complete the fantasy for every tom.
You want your lookout hen to be old and craggly like Dianne Feinstein. They are expendable. Run an arrow through them by mistake, oh well...
Your feeder hen should be named Rosie. Her chief role is to consume stuff quickly and in great quantities all the while complaining what a horrible place this is. If feeder hens gets left behind and ground up in a harvester, oh well...

Just one of these days, I'd like to see one of these groups stand up on its hind legs and just say, "Shut the front door!" and go ahead and have their party or fundraiser.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a cluck.
I usually leave Uncle Tom at the cabin...
I find it's a little awkward to tote him through the woods, forget about driving through town.

The big thing is when you put out the decoys you don't want to segregate them.

At least we know who the males and females are.
This may be easier for turkey hunters than for college administrators, which may say something about college, or administrators, or both.
[I]One thing is for sure: As “gender identity” becomes more complex, so do the decisions women’s colleges have to make. After all, even a decision like Bryn Mawr’s doesn’t cover every situation. For example: What if a student starts at the school as a woman, but midway through decides to start identifying as or even medically transitioning into a man?
In October, the New York Times covered how this specific situation was handled at another women’s college, Wellesley. One student had simply checked off “female” on the official application but then began to identifying himself as a “genderqueer” male named Timothy once on campus. Wellesley has had transitioning students before, so Timothy was not only allowed to stay but didn’t face any problems at all. That is, until he tried to run for class diversity officer and students started a petition saying he wasn’t qualified because he was a white man now.

We should get Crookedeye's thoughts on this, as a turkey hunter. He's been following the Bruce (?) Jenner situation pretty closely...
For some reason...

41.) Swamp Fox - 03/21/2015
Do you no if he's picked out a new name?
42.) crookedeye - 03/21/2015
the last time we had this contest is when obh was in charge... we had like 8 hunters that year..and obh was saying how hard it was..he came up with a good cheat sheet with teams and a few stranglers could join the contest...he had to have his wife help him with the dutys of the turkey contest....I remember him having trouble if there should be 4 teams of 2 or 2 teams of 3..with the other 2 members would participate and earn extra points for beard length..
43.) Swamp Fox - 03/21/2015
LOL...So far we have 2 teams of 2, with plenty of room for stranglers...:laugh:

LOL...I was gonna do that in one of the early posts, but then this thread took off, and I figured WTH, I'll do it when it's too late for anyone to back out. :wink
The tricky part is getting the measurement pictures when you're by yourself, but I have yet to come up with a solution for that. Otherwise, I think the rules will be the same as last year. Bonus 10 points for a bow kill, which I'd prefer to limit to vertical bows, but we've never discussed that. I like the idea of doing a beak measurement...It's so...JB, LOL. But I think we'll leave that alone, along with weight. :-)
I am tempted to add weight measurements this year to offset the big advantage that long spurs give you in the scoring, but all that does is give an advantage to farm boys who've had mild winters. It's not a real indication of anything other than that you have fat turkeys. Plus, you have to have a scale handy and I think that's not always reasonable.
I'm open to suggestions on the rules.
What I really want to know, though, is where's OHBH?

I always liked when the true turkey contestants would show pics of there bird with a Stanley tape measurerer being official about the birds beard length and the measurement of the spurs..
it wouldn't count if you didn't have a spur measurement..

who was that guy that actually measured the birds beard length and spurs???that was obh...wasn't it?
it looked like he had a brand new stanely tape ... see that's why obh was so good at this..he didn't play around..

16th of a inch or a 1/8th could mean the difference of a champion..thats why measurements are so critical in the turkey contest..and that's why I recommend Stanley tape measurers.. there the most accurate tape measure...

its funny how these guys need to fight..not in my "life" have I ever not ment a guy and been so hateful towards him or been influence by others to be hateful towards that person..
81.) crookedeye - 03/22/2015
like obh when he did the 2013 turkey contest...he let the contest get to him.. all the hunters,, different states. the stress he had to be going through to put on the turkey contest.. I could tell the teams being picked by him took years on his life..
its not easy being the turkey contest leader

A turkey recipe should accompany the specs.
85.) Swamp Fox - 03/23/2015
That's not a bad idea, LOL. I usually stir fry, If I have a tender bird I'll sometimes try breaded strips in the frying pan. I think breast meat is too good to put in a stew or chili, but I know some people do it. :p I could use some new ideas that I don't have to go looking too hard for, is what I'm sayin'.
86.) Deerminator - 03/23/2015
Well there ya go. :tu:
A recipe must accompany the kill data.:hb:,
soup is great for less tender cuts

Write out a recipe (or the basics) or post a link ASAP when you report your bird. Tie goes to the entry with a recipe, in the event someone fails to comply. :wink
I'm leaning toward drawing teams this Friday at 5 PM eastern (though I may be on the road at that time) so get in on the contest by signing up on this thread before then. You must be signed up before the kill for a turkey to be eligible for entry.
So far, our playas are:
Crookedeye
Bluecat
Hunter
Deerminator
Dropz
Swampy
Swat me if I missed anyone.

Where's DP and his Participation Trophy when we need it?
Comedian Brad Stine does a bit about kids who grew up watching Barney, where everyone's a winner, versus kids who grew up watching Captain Kangaroo, where if you lost at a game or got an answer wrong you got ping pong balls dropped on your head to shame you, LOL. Obviously, he thinks the Captain Kangaroo generation is tougher. I can't disagree, LOL
He says Barney was a big fat soft purple dinosaur with arms too short to even feed himself, while Captain Kangaroo was a military man in a jacket with two big pockets: 'We don't know what was in them, but probably a Glock and some 9mm shells..." LOL

ArcherXP: Do you want me to put your name in the contest?
To the rest of you knuckleheads:
There are a few others I'm tempted to volunteer as well. :wink You know who you are. :-)
Here are the rules for this year. I'll post them again when we make the team announcement, and we'll start a kill reporting thread soon after, too.
Note the changes in red. If anybody wants to fight about it, I'm available for duels at sunrise, noon and dusk.
1-A picture of you, the bird, and weapon posted to the Kill Reporting Thread [COLOR="#FF0000"] within ten days of the kill. Provide the date of the kill, the measurements and the total score for your bird in the Reporting Thread, along with the story (if you'd like). This year, we're also going to post a turkey recipe or cooking tip along with or ASAP after the kill report. You can write out a full recipe, summarize one, provide a cooking tip or post a link to a recipe or cooking tip. In the event of a tie regarding bird measurements, the contestant or team with the most recipes/tips will be declared the winner. You do not need to kill a bird to post a recipe or tip, so a hunter who skunks can still help his team by placing in the contest this way.[/COLOR]
2-A picture of the beard (still attached to the bird, DO NOT CUT OFF BEARD) and tape measure or ruler should show the length. Show entire length of beard and tape measure, including the tip. [COLOR="#FF0000"]Measurement is to the end of the longest strand.
[/COLOR]
3-A picture of each spur and a tape measure showing the length. Spurs must still be attached to the legs. [COLOR="#FF0000"]Measurement is along the outside centerline, so with spurs that have any curve to them, you'll need a flexible tape.
[/COLOR]
Scoring:
Scores will be determined by spur length x 10 plus beard length x 2. A [COLOR="#FF0000"]vertical bow [/COLOR]kill earns 10 bonus points. Providing weight is optional and will not count toward your score.
For instance:
Beard is 8.5" = 8.5x2=17 pts.
Spurs 1" & 1-1/8" = 2.125 total spur length x 10 = 21.25 pts.
Vertical Bow Kill Bonus Points: Plus 10
So: 17 + 21.25 = 38.25 pts. total for a gun or crossbow kill. A vertical bow kill would add 10 points for a total score of 48.25.
All kills to be scored to the nearest 1/8th inch.
Only 1 bird may be entered per contestant. If you take a bigger bird after you have entered one already, you may upgrade to the better bird. When you upgrade it will cancel out the previous entry. [COLOR="#FF0000"]You must be registered for the contest prior to the date of your kill. You cannot kill a bird and enter it for a teammate.[/COLOR]
Each member's bird will count toward the team's total points.
[COLOR="#FF0000"]In the past, in the event of a tie, we said we'd match the teams' top bird, second bird, third bird, etc. until we had a higher score for one team. Instead of that, we're going to use the recipe/cooking tip thing described above as the tie-breaker. This eliminates the possibility that one slightly bigger bird in one team slot creates a victory over a more successful team effort on the other side (e.g., one bird from Team A beating two or three from Team B). In the event the recipe tie-breaker method does not result in a winner, the original top bird method will be the final deciding factor.[/COLOR]

He/they gobbled on the roost and just a little when he/they hit the ground. Otherwise it's been pretty quiet around here. For this hunt, I switched to a Primos Batty glass (old call) since I used a slate the day before and a Primos box since I used a Heart of Dixie previous. Mouth call both days was a MAD cutter.
Killed him at 8:40.

I thought so...
I knew an old coot who I'd see when I'd come out of the woods...He always asked me what I'd used... I thought he was just being friendly, LOL...Took me a while to figure out he was going in after me and using something different and killing my birds. :tap:
RIP, Sarge, you old bastard LOL

I normally take dramamine just before the show.

I think I once did a post back on BC of how to use other hunters to your advantage.
It was loaded with tips.
Time to make a new posting.:tu:

Nice nap. Been killing crap already though.

What are turkeys doing at the end of the Ohio season, say the last week or so?
171.) Ohbuckhunter - 04/09/2015
Hard to tell this year. Birds are struttin and talking allot right now. Season still 2 weeks away.
172.) Swamp Fox - 04/09/2015
I meant in general...Do they tend to be done with mating, are they doing a lot of gobbling, is it dead as a bag of hammers? Hit and miss? ...Etc...
173.) Ohbuckhunter - 04/09/2015
Hit or miss depends on the day and weather. I've called them in last day on several times. And been times where I couldn't hear a bird the last 2 weeks of season.
174.) Swamp Fox - 04/09/2015
Good to know.
Mid-May is most often good hunting here. Usually lots of gobbling and gobblers looking for love.

This just in:
I neglected to put an end date on the turkey contest, I think. We'll go out to May 31 unless there are some objections.
Also, if there's a demand, I'll put more people in the contest if they request it in the sign-up thread, which can be found here:

You must be signed up for the contest before the kill. Otherwise, I can't count your gobbler for competition.

well turkey opened here in new york may first, been out with my bow for a week now, the activity is pretty good but haven't been able to get a tom to come into bow range. i have till the 31st to tag one and plan to hunt everyday ( i'm retired and live in some prime hunting territory) so all i have to do is put on the camo's and head out the door and up the hill behind the house. :tu:
