MaineHunters.com Pro-Staff update on Turkey hunting Season in New England!

Our crew has been pre-scouting since early April and now slamming the illusive and all mighty Eastern Turkey here in New England this spring season!

The season started with Steve Beckwith & Dan Rosa, taking out Dan's 15 year old son, Todd Rosa, on Youth Day in Maine. After working a group of birds very hard all morning, Todd finally lowered the boom on his 2008 season Jake.

Camera man - Prop-Staff Assistant - David Sprague , at the skillful calling of himself, called in a smashing Tom opening day of Maine's "A" season, before he headed into work that day!

Next in the Chopping Block, was Steve Beckwith's Tom on the third day of Maine's "A" season. Steve passed several jakes up to finally get to a shooter!

Russell Beckwith in Central Maine - lowered the hammer down on a nice Tom on the last Day of the first half of Maine's "A" Season, using his Pretty Boy to bring the lone Tom into range for the final smack down!

Jay Wagner Stepped up on Opening Day of the Maine "B" Season and hammered a real nice Tom, with Steve Beckwith filming and calling.

Steve Beckwith then put three days of Hunting in in Massachusettes by himself, driving about One Hour from home each day, to harvest two Jakes in that State. One on May 2nd and the other on May 6th. Hard work, and $3.61 a gallon for gas and scouting pays off! Legal Birds ... Fair Chase!

Dennis Theriault was on the phone talking with Steve Beckwith on cell phones, Steve was on his way back from Massachusettes with his bird, when Dennis told Steve he just spotted a nice Tom and had to go! Thirty minutes laster Dennis called Steve back and had taken down a nice Maine Tom the second day of the "B" Season in Maine!

Day three of the Maine "B" Season, Steve and Dan Rosa, head for a spot Dan had seen two nice Toms, the day before. The birds were roosted right where we went in to set up and they flew out of the roost tree at 4 AM.. we were busted. With that plan foiled, we moved to plan "B" of the day! This set up was in a field where Dan's son Todd, hammered a bird on Youth Day and the birds were gobbling at over 800 yards away. when they flew down all was silent for an hour. Steve, having hunted this spot for many years, decided they should move into the woods and down a ridge into a hollow, where in about five minutes of calling, we had three birds gobble at 100 yards away in the woods. Again they went silent until Steve spotted them sneaking their way towards Dan. Dan took the lead Jake at 15 yards away, to end his Maine Season!

Steve Beckwith heads for New Hampshire and harvests a Jake , bringing the Yankee Slam count to #4 for Pro-Staffer Steve Beckwith.

Pro-Staff Russell Beckwith, Camera Man Andy Jarman and Steve Beckwith head for Northfield Vermontm May 19th for five days. On Day number four, Russell bags one of Vermonts Top scoring turkeys for 2008 a 20 3/4 lb, 9 inch beard, 1 9/16" & 1 3/16" hooks a monster! Steve on day number five harvests a jake bringing his Yankee Slam total to #5 for 2008! Steve will be looking for a fall bird in Maine or N.H. to complete the first ever MaineHunters.com Yankee Slam!

Pro-Staff member Tom Thibeault - lays down a Maine Jake with his Bow in an early morning set!

With the Spring Turkey Season nearing the end... Mainehunters.com welcomes aboard and adds David Thayer from Farmington, NH onto our Pro-Staff Team! On May 30th, Pro-Staff members Steve Beckwith and Jay Wagner headed for New Hampshire and met up with David Thayer for our first ever hunt together as a Pro-Staff Team. We met up at 7:30 A.M. and with the expert assistance of David Thayer, we were videoing the hunt of Pro-Staffer Jay Wagner putting the smack down on a nice double bearded Jake in New Hampshire at 9:45 AM! A great team effort and a super welcome aboard to Pro-Staff member, David Thayer!

Pro-Staff Assistant - Trent Theriault ends his Turkey season in style, Trent hammers a nice Maine Tom and on his ride home spots a coyote in a field, he and his Dad, Pro-Staff Dennis Theriault, do a quick survey of the situation and set up on an old logging road and the coyote gave Trent a 25 yard shot. Trent piled up that old yote and ended a great MaineHunters.com Pro-Staff Turkey Season 2008!
