Hang in there Tribal it sounds like your all over-em. 130' at this point would look good! even 100? that would put us close if not over 400,
Even if we don`t win? finishing a strong 2nd would be awesome for the for the team that won last season? "SCREW THAT!!I WANT TO WIN IT ALL:D
" Go team-8

Tribal, quit scaring the dang deer and shoot one already, will ya?:D

Come on guys, we actually could pull this off you know. (I'm one to talk, I've only been out a hand full of times after I took my buck, and haven't even seen a doe :eek:.)

RE: Official Team Elite (8) Thread
 

Well guys, I'm happy to say I filled my tag. But I am sorry to say he's not the monster I was holding out for. It was 4 degrees with a-4 windchill snow on the ground and no warm up in sight.The deer are herded here like the great caribou migration. I shot a double which was fun a huge doethen the8 pointer a short time later. It was my forth double so thats always a bonus. He scores a whopping 75 but in this weather I earned him none the less. I am happy because my wife just about had it.
With the pace I was hunting I only had 3 or 4 more times out anyway. So I TOOK IT FOR THE TEAM.;) Besides I wanted Badshotbob to shoot a bigger deer than me this year.;);)j/k Bob! And I promised to contribute and I did just that. Just not enough to win the contest for us. Good luck to those who are still at it. Next year I will be back to hunting full time.

Ever try and draw your bow with 20 or more deer around you within 60 yards? Thats alot of eyes and I will say this is my biggest buck this late in the year. Anyway it caps out a decent year for me as I stuck my limit and even party hunted firearm for another small buck. Elite 8 BBD BIG BUCK DOWN!

Way to go Tribal. I was just about to post my question if I should shoot a deer even if I wouldn't hang him on the wall. RTA's post answered it for me and your deer did as well. I'll pop one this month.

Tribal, that darn 8 point loooks big. How much did he weigh? I laugh at his body size compared to the deer I see.

Lefty, are you alive? PM me if you want to hunt later this month. My petting zoo has some bucks but not the mosters I was seeing regularly due to the idiot hunting next to the property. I can still put you on a buck hopefully and we can add 200 points to our score even if we only shoot a two small 8 points.

Tribal

Congrats on your buck and the double!! Our deer herd up here too in winter. Hunting them with that many eyes, ears and noses is indeed a challenge. Great job!!

Way to go tribal! Thanks for helping out the team! WE NEEDED IT;)
That is a fine looking buck,OK he`s not the 140-150class everyone was expecting you to bring in? Instead you showed us what kind of bowhunter you are? In 4 degree weather? With That many deer around you? And you were still able to pull it offAdouble? That is a trophy in itself!
The buck I posted for the team this yr was also a double, But I only had about 7 or 8 deer around when I did it:D? I understand What you did was even tougher to do.Congrats..

I gotta hand it to ya, Tribal, you are nuts my friend. Great deer for this late in the season and considering the weather conditions and all those eyes. Whew. And a double to boot! I'm impressed. Yep, all those eyes is not an easy thing. I stuck a doe last season on December 28th - the woods was full of deer. Although it wasn't as cold as your hunt (a mere 20 with about 0 wind chill), I know how hard it can be to get a bow back in that weather after sitting for hours - and without being busted. Way to go.

Congrats Tribal thats a nice buck. Here in MD we would have to kill 3 bucks to add up to that body size.:D Keep plugging away guys this is the toughest time of year to stay motivated and keep on hunting but the deer are still out there, we still have a shot at winning this thing.

Fieldmouse,

I'm still alive and kick'n havnt been bowhunting since before Thanksgiving, I hope to get out this Saturday. I only have weekends left except for the days after x-mas and new years. Let me know if you can get out on a Sat or any of those days and we will hunt together.

Congrats Tribal on the nice buck and sticking with it in those conditions. Keep it up guys we may not win but we can still make a good showing.
