Default RE: (20) Official Team "XX" Thread

Hey guys, I drafted a long response, but lost it in cyberspace somewhere, so this time around, I'll be brief.

I saw either 4 or 6 buck since Friday at 4:00. Nothing bigger than a 60-70" six pointer, from what I saw (I think I saw two of the same bucks twice). I spent all morning Saturday fearing for my life with a fawn doe (live target)sleeping/feeding under my stand between 7:30 and 11:00. Saturday was junior/senior rifle doe day, and muzzleloader doe day too, so there were a bunch of guys out hunting does. I was just waiting to hear a rifle crack and hear a bullet sizzle under my stand, but apparently the gunners were too lazy to walk all the way to the top of the ridge on the edge of the gamelands where all the deer were hiding out. LOL My goodness, the rifles would crack down over the hill (closest shots were maybe 200-300 yards away), and she wouldn't even so much as flinch. Young and carefree, I guess. She was safe under me, because she had an extra set of eyes and ears in the sky. I had made up my mind that nobody was going to shoot that doe. Not on my watch, at least. Shewasn't helping her own cause very much, because she seemed to have issues staying awake.

By the way, I just read that Joey Rott (kshunter) killed a really big buck for his team. Couldn't have happened to a better guy - no pictures yet.

Boise's undefeated, right Troy? I bet that was a good time. Are there any Boise players that I should pay attention to if I catch any of their games from here on out? Man, I wish I could see a 125" 5x5. Heck, I'd take a 100" 4x4.

Dave - why don't you get on here and tell us all the story about how you forgot your bow? Yes, for those keeping score at home, that means that a member of Team XX has gone bowhunting without a bow for TWO YEARS IN A ROW. I don't feel so alone anymore. LOL
