Our best chance to get up there in the scores is team participation. Lets start by introducing ourselves here.

I am Sandilands, I live in MB Canada. For the last few yrs I have hunted strictly with a archery gear. I hunt good land, that is archery only for bucks. Last yr I had plenty of opportunities at some big boys but couldn't get them in as close as I wanted. I tagged a 100" buck that was best to date with archery gear. This yr I am planning on beating my last. I hunt for myself first and foremost.

Lets get together and have fun this yr.

Hey guys, my name is Chris. I live in West Central IL and this is my 4th season participating in this contest. I have scored a 130" buck 2 out of the last three seasons and hope to add to that this year. I look forward to meeting all of you. Talk to you guys soon.

Hi guys. My name is Dan. I've recently picked up a lease in Pike County IL and am looking forward to adding to the team total. My last two years I've had to hunt a fence line that did not produce a thing to shoot at. Very happy to get into Pike County this year even if it's about a 3.5 hr drive one way.

Chris- I'm not too far west of you. Have you used any meat processors in that area?

Hey guys! Good to meet ya! My name is Bob. This'll be my 40th year bowhunting. My best buck is 152" and I've got a pretty good string of P&Y class bucks. Some from PA and some from Il.
I live and hunt in Western PA and also have a pretty good lease in Brown County Illinois about 3 miles north of Pike and less than a mile from Adams County. I'll be there for several weeks in the bow season.

It's not too early to start talking about a team name and captain but we should be sure that everyone has had a chance to check in before we choose either.

What part of Pike are you in Dan? There is a processor in Clayton named John Pendleton just North of Pike and the family we rent our lodge from in Brown near Mount Sterling also does deer too.

I've heard that there's a pretty nasty place in Barry you'd want to avoidbut I'm not sure of the name

If you're in Southern Pike, Bob's market in Pleasant hill does em and there's a place in Nebo as well but I'd have to make a call to get their name.

Good to have you all aboard. I'm about to send Schultzy an e-mail to get his butt on here so we can get everyone signed in. The key is team participation, if you know anyone that hasn't signed in then send them an e-mail or a PM.

Thanks much. I'm a few miles north of Barry, but I will now avoid anything near there.

Hey Guys! My name is Jim and I'm from south western PA. This will be my fifth year bowhunting and so far Im two for four in getting a buck in the archery season. PA's season starts October 10th I believe and I've already got my eye on a nice buck (my nemesis from last year).

I look forward to getting to know you guys and from the looks of things, we should have a pretty good team!
