RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

Looking back through our thread; I don't think that MDE86 and AK NIMROD are 2 we have M.I.A. Anyone know these guys?

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

AK NIMROD will show up , I dont know about the other one.

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

I emailed everyone who hadnt yet checked in yesterday. One of them came back undeliverable but it didnt identify the recipient by his screen name. How much time do we give them before they're MIA?

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

I think youre right Bowfanatic. I think AKNimrod will show up he's been a long time member

Hey Hammerman, can you edit our subject line to include our name ?

[8D]sorry guys gettin here late. just got home from 2 weeks away at work.( work 800+ miles from home 2 weeks at a time)busy last few days at work and had not checked the contest thread. i've been bowhunting alot of years and pretty successful here in Alaska but have not arrowed a whitetail yet. i have hunted whitetail in alot of states over the last 10 yearsand even Alberta and TX last year. have two weeks planned inWI end of Oct and beginning of Nov. i was there for 3 days in July did some scouting wow saw alot of 8 and 10 pointers,i have never seenso many wt and so many bucks it was great. i have a close friend there and he is setting stuff up for me.
i'm tickled to be part of the team hopefully i won't let the team down.
busy today getting ready for a two day drive up the haul road for a week of caribou hunt. if i arrow a caribou can i count that "buck" :)[8D] i hope to be ready by tomarrow night to leave. i will have to go back and check the rules moose are deer! , do they count? i kinda doubt it but blacktail sitka may count and i'm hunting them before moose. i'm off for the next 6 weeks so it will be very sporatic that i will be here. most of it will be out hunt. 9 days for caribou trip, blacktail and black bear for 5-10 days then moose for two weeks then plan to go help a friend on a dall's sheep drawing permit hunt.
i will try to add team logo to my threads tomarrow when i'm not so tired.

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

I'm tickled to have you on our team! And dont anyone worry about "letting the team down"!!! The most importantpart of bowhunting is to have fun.It sounds like AK NIMROD will be having plenty of fun.:D

RE: Official Team 7 Thread

227 MDE86

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

Caribou are the same as reindeer! I think they should count!;)

Good luck AKNimrod. Gotta say I'm envious!

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

Hey fellas. Sorry about checking in late, but I'm here and excited about the hunt! I'm currently going to college in ND, but I've been doing my bowhunting in MN for years. Lotts of big guys around the land that I hunt this year. It should be a great season. I'll also be bowhunting for black bear in MN. I took one two years ago with a rifle, and I'm excited to take one with a bow this year.

Great job with the logo too!

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

Here's a pic of one of the guys that is still hanging around this year. This pic was taken just after season last year. Some farmers near my land have seen him this year and say that he's looking good!

RE: Official Team 7 Thread
 

Looks like our team is complete. Now who's going to be our captain?

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

nice sig

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

ok were ready i just scouted my budys farm the deer are tearing up his corn he wanted me to start shooting today he knows ill wait till its legal i gotta set a good example for my son good luck fellas lets whack em

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

What part of WI will you be hunting NIMROD?? I hunt the Sauk and Richland county areas.

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

i beleive it is washburn county, spooner / sarona area. i have an old friend that lives there. 10 years ago was last time i hunted WI. ?bayfield county then when i get back from my caribou hunt in 9-10 days i will get a map and look up you counties.
my vote for team captain is the guy with the highest average of deer
taken with a bow, number of WHITETAIL deer shot with a bow / number of years bowhunting!
FOR ME I WILL SAY 0 /29 = WAY LESS THAN ZERO
IF NUMBER OF BIG GAME ANIMALS / YEARS BOWHUNTING MINE MIGHT BE AAAABOUT 24/29 SEVEN SPECIES.;)
anyway that could be a way to elect a captain.
another would be by the number of posts here? biggest BSER IS THE LEADER.[:o]...WHO EVER THAT IS DON'T TAKE OFFENSE. JUST KIDDING
ANY WAY GUYS WISH ME LUCK ON THE CARIBOU HUNT I HEAD OUT @5 AM INSTEAD OF TONIGHT SHOULD BE BACK BY 28-29TH SOONER IF WE ALL CONNECT EARLY. TWO DAYS DRIVE EACH WAY [:@]:([:'(]

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

Good luck on your caribou hunt AK NIMROD!

It seems I always finda wayto check in here everyday anyhow , so if you guys want me to be the team captain ,I'm up for the challenge.

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)

Motion Carries!

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

This is a picture of a buckthat was on my land last year that got killed by one of my neighbors, i am pretty sure he has passed his genes on to other deer in the area

This is another buck that made it through last year i believe
Also the big buck is in a contest for Cuddeback digital and i could win a camera possibly even a hunt if i win it all. I would love for your vote at this website. My picture is #27. Thanks for any help

As far as critters shot with the bow ....36 years flinging arrows= 72 whitetails(3 P &Y), 1 Muley, 1 Black bear.
Guess I'm gettin old!

Buckfever, that is an AWESOME BUCK!!!!!

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

just letting everyone know i'm still around, i like the logo i'll put it on when i get a minute

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

Thanks guys!

Buckfever1613 , those are some dandy bucks!
I like our chances in this contest this year.

This will be my 29th year of bowhunting. I wishsomeone would have told me years ago that I should probably keep track of how many deer I shoot with my bow , so when I'm asked the question on a internet forum I'll have an answer.:DAll I can say is I've shot lots of deer. Probably more than twice as many doe than buck , and only one buck that would make Pope & Young , but I'm proud of them all.

I put a mineral rock out in the spring and went out to check it last week , along with setting up my game cam. All I can say is WOW! The ground was completely tore up around the rock. I picked up my cam today and will hopefully have some pics for you asap.

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

i put one of those wallmart salt licks out 2 weeks ago nothing yet i also put some powder out ill check it tomorrow i scouted my friends farm this should be a great year

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

Here's a couple pics for your viewing pleasure. Nothing big yet , but I'll move it around a bit and see if I can get one of the big guys on film before season starts.

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

Couple more...

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

picked up a new digital cam over the weekend. I'll get it out wednesday. Hope to have some pics to drool over soon!

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

im thinking i might head to wallyworld and get me one

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

Some nice pics there guys. What cameras do you use? I'mhoping topick up a digital game cam soon, and was wondering if you have any recommendations.

Any waterfowl hunters on the team? We've got early goose season starting up next week here in ND.

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

Wally world has a digital made by Moultrie for 98 bucks. Took some test pics around the yard and it worked OK. Hope to give it a field test this week. I used a 35mm stealth cam with some success last year. I tend to go for the cheaper ones for fear of theft.

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

i cant wait 39 days to go i always get excited about this time of year

RE: Official RACK PACK Thread(7)
 

Well I went to Bass Pro over the weekend and got all geared up with with some new boots and clothes while they had the sale going, so now all I'm waiting for is Oct. 1st.

Also I'm waitng for our first baby to be born any day now!!:D My time my be a little shorter in the woods this year but I've been trying to scout more so that what time I do have will be more productive. I am taking off during the rut (hopefully) four or five days and plan on staying out all day a least two of those days.

I've been hunting on public inone area the last two years but last year I started seeing one buck nice 8pt in another area when I would bedriving into the reserve before sunrise andaround 10am-11am using the same trail when I would be leaving. I know he survived the hunting season becasue I saw him on the last day once again when I was leaving the preserve. I plan on spending alot of time in that area this year, I think he would score 130-140(last year). I can hardly wait for Oct.1st!!!

Good luck this up coming season Rack Pack from team 9 (The Mail Men):)
