Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk TEAM ALDEER Team 11 - Beard Busters

I’ll say. It’s been an incredible year. I had one of the most memorable hunts of my life this morning.

Y’all don’t mind me, I’m just eavesdropping on your team Good job Matt! You gotta post some stories to go with these birds!

You’ve been quite the murderer yourself. I’ll post stories when I wrap up. Probably won’t hear another bird the rest of the season now.

The turkeys on my 60 acre lease seem to have left. They do it to me every year about the second or third week of season. There’s some cow pastures back to the south and they go that direction. So I’m gonna try something new this morning and go hunt some corp of engineers property. I’ve seen turkey sign there while deer hunting but I’ve never turkey hunted it. Maybe I’ll get lucky who knows.

Congrats Mbrock! When you’re hot you’re hot! Heck of a season man...congrats again!

#2 down! Played chess with this joker from daylight til 11:45 this morning. Luckily he gave up first. I had about 15 minutes left before I had to go.

Way to put one down!! Congrats.

I thought I was going to close out the season this am but a pack of dogs felt like running deer and rabbits all over the lease was more important than me killing a turkey. Had one coming in but it was abruptly stopped.

We are team 11 and ranked 11. Way to be consistent guys!

I finally connected on one in georgia. I'll get some pics up in a little bit

I'd been hunting these birds for the last 4 times I've been able to go and have been so close but just hadnt been in very good positions. I had one at 25 yards yesterday but just needed 1 more step to clear the brush. He smelled a rat and that was that. I waited to see which creek bottom they'd pick when they left the roost this morning and then made a big loop back up the road to get out in front of them. It wound up working perfectly since they'd lost the hens along the way.

Congrats!! That’s a very colorful bird.

Congrats Gib! Keep it up fellas. Hope I can find at least one more in Jackson county. I’ll be headed to Kentucky for opening weekend and then to Oklahoma the week after.

Dang what a season. The Lord has blessed me with some great hunts and memories. I was able to wrap it up on a bird this morning that never said a word. He ran to my hen decoy as hard as he could when he saw her.

Congrats man. That's a fine season.

Congrats on the kills everyone. I have been after them hard, but haven’t had much luck. Have only had one day of decent gobbling. Hopefully I can get at least one here and going to Texas in early May.

Well, these birds have slap kicked mu butt this weekend. I've not had trouble getting on them but have had 3 hang up just out of range. The last one today stood at about 70 and strutted and gobbled for about an hour. Maybe things will turn around Tuesday morning.

#3 down! Took the wife and kid to visit my sister this weekend. My bro in law isn’t a turkey hunter but got us permission to hunt a couple spots close to their house. Got soaked Saturday but heard some gobbling and saw several birds. Went back this morning and had a stud fly down right in our lap but never could get a shot because his hen was already there and had me pinned down. Let them walk off and ended up running into another bird while trying to cut the first one off. He was soaking wet and pretty ratty looking but I’ll take it. Man I love this stuff!

Congrats!! It never gets old does it?

#4 down....lucky in Kentucky! Sat in the rain all morning but found one willing to play the game this evening.

Congrats man! We came to Kentucky and were supposed to be at a friends place but something came up and we wound up at the land between the lakes. Seems to be a bunch of birds but they're not saying much.
