Question is, how many members do ya'll think we'll get this year? Will we surpass the 500 entrant mark or will we have a fall off of members?

What score do you think it will take to take it all and how many score per team to come up with said score?

History says, 8 of 10 score on a team and they should take it?

Will any team go 10 for 10?

And as you can see, it's not about taking the biggest buck in the woods, it's all about the numbers, 8 for 10. One never knows, good luck entrants.

We will be atleast one member fewer for sure..

I say it tops 50 teams, the winning team again goes 8 for 10 with a score that tops 800 once again. I do think the winning team will have to have atleast one slammer to win.

It may not be all about killing big deer, but boy it sure didnt hurt.

2005 shed33 with a massive 168.
2006 MNPurple and Huntingson both with 130 class deer.
2007 dukemichaels and 16 point both with 140 class deer.

I say the winning team has two great bucks or one slammer buck...just like it happened in the past.

JFergus7 · 07-14-2008, 09:19 PM

I don't want to start off negative but I think that we will see a small drop in this years participants. I think that we will have 46 team down from the 49 last year.

I do think this will be the largest score ever at 882 with two teams going 9 for 10!

You are right on with that one!! Good post Rob for us newbies here.

Yeah, thanks.

I think that we will have more people this year and will break the 500 mark.

I realy hope that a team goes 9 or 10 for 10 this year. If sho, they should take the win!

Hook me up with some good partners!

rybohunter · 07-15-2008, 04:43 AM

Hopefully it"™ll be around the same numbers as last year or a little less. It gets pretty crazy with too many teams IMO.

I think the winning team will need at least 8-10. I would like to see someone go 10-10, but the odds of that are pretty nuts.

The year we won we had 4 bucks over 130". That is a feat that will be tough to beat I think. [8D]

I would also like to see the Darkhorses repeat, just to see the King spew forth his wisdom and have everyone on here hate him even more. That would be one of the funniest things that could happen.

jmbuckhunter · 07-15-2008, 05:09 AM

I actually hope the numbers are down a little. I think there are waaaaay too many people who sign up get on a team and then are never heard from again.

I know its just for fun, but it's frustrating playing shorthanded.

I'd love to see a team go 10 for 10. Or even a few teams do it.

I attended a course for the military once that taught how to forecast trends. Using the formulas in the course, I built a trend forecasting "crystal ball". When I retired, I kept a copy of the program, so as soon as I locate the program, I'll run the trend forecasting statistics and come up with what there'd be in a perfect world and get back.....

I'm betting there's one more who would love that too (and it ain't me....lol).

Question is, how many members do ya'll think we'll get this year? Will we surpass the 500 entrant mark or will we have a fall off of members?

Like some others....I don't think a drop-off would be such a bad thing. BUT....I was looking through the 2006 entrants the other night....and there are some SLAMMERS shot by people we never see much everyday in the forums. LOVE seeing those entries, each year.

What score do you think it will take to take it all and how many score per team to come up with said score?

Eight's a good, round number of team members scoring. Throw in a couple (or 3...that was awesome Ryan) 130-140's and they're well on their way to the high 800's.

History says, 8 of 10 score on a team and they should take it?

Agreed.

Will any team go 10 for 10?

LOVE to see it.....but with it a little (forgive me) "diluted".....I highly doubt it.

And as you can see, it's not about taking the biggest buck in the woods, it's all about the numbers, 8 for 10. One never knows, good luck entrants.

I'm your biggest fan....all. Good luck, guys.
