RE: team 34 check in thread
 

Hello everyone! Just checking in. I'm pretty quiet on the boards--but I read just about everything.

This year I'm hunting some new land in southern KY and I'm hoping I see more deer this year than last - I'll also be hunting in NE OH (which is where I live)

Happy Hunting! Bring on the season!

RE: team 34 check in thread
 

tschaef (Trevor) checking in. I'm about to get a plane and won't have access to a computer for a few weeks, but I'll be back.
Heres the one I'm after, I took this pic yeserday:

RE: team 34 check in thread
 

Trevor, your post made me laugh. I did not scroll all the way down, So I was only seeing the little buck, and you said, heres the one I am after, I thought not bad but I have seen better, then I scrolled down and just started laughing. Good Luck

RE: team 34 check in thread
 

Just so you guys know I am in a bit of a dilema. They are currently doing some clear cutting in my hunting woods. The woods around my house they will not be touching but there is a problem. The woods around the house are like 10-25 acre small plots which are against the river shoreline.

Typically this time of year the deer rarely visit the smaller plots of woods, but I have noticed a big change in thier movements due to the cutting. Generally the second day of gun season I can sit on my front porch and watch the deer run through the fields ( some through my yard) straight for the woods around my house. I am thinking that once the loggers hit the big woods full force I will see the deer react as if it was gun season.

Soooooo, with all this said, I will more than likely be doing alot of blind hunting. Never fear though, I took my nice 9 point from the small woods by the house in a blind last year. Anyways, I will know more about the time frames they will be done cutting in about a week or so
and will keep you informed.


Dave

RE: team 34 check in thread
 

Dave, that clear cutting may help. It could push the deer in to the 25 acres you will be hunting. Nothing wrong with a ground blind, you have hed success from it before. Maybe you can give us a repeat performance from last year.

By the way what part of southern Md are you from?

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Kriesis, I got to looking we were on the same team last season. Maybe we can do a little better this year. Good luck to ya.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

St. Mary county, very lowest southern part on the map. I am driving up the road about 5 miles this afternoon to talk with a farmer who has expressed an interest in letting me hunt his property. Seems he wants the local herd thinned out a bit.)


Dave:)

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

I just want to remind all team members to read the rules, especially the one(s)for what is required in the picture of you and your buck. The competition will be tough this year and we don't want to lose or not get points for abuck because something was not in the picture.

With that said, good luck to all and everyone stay in touch.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Thats awesome Dave, hopefully between the two spots you'll be able to connect with a big one.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

We need to be thinking of a team name and we need to nominate a team Capt. Also how long is the waiting period for team members to check in.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

I'm here! Looks like an awseome team. Looking forward to a great season!

Jonathan

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Hey kids.. It's card night so I gotta fly before the ball and chain gets home but this should be a blast. Lots of deer around with some fine racks so I am hoping for a good season. The stands are up, the bows are tuned,the broadheads are fresh so lets getim..

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Looks like we are just waiting to hear from racked and punt. I am glad to see your from Illinois hammerman. Its always good to have someone from that area.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Krieses

Where in NE Ohio are you from? I live in Trumbull County.

Ashley

The time to check in has been rob's determination the pastcouple years. He will then fill in the no shows with the alternates.

I will volunteer as team captain as I am familiar with the duties having been one the past few years, that's if you guys will have me.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone better :)

RE: 34-Team Official Thread

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

hey buckeye, are u gonna be entering a 120" buck as a 180" this year???

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Naw, maybe more like a 150" and enter it as 210", gotta make those 60 free inches count man :D

You are just going to have to use your buddies buck this year for your contest entryyour decadedrought is way to long!.... He seems to be the one putting the "horns" on the ground the past few years anyway:D;)

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

I dont say much on the boards either... but I'm here a lot... heres afewpicturesof somebucks takenon my place in Ohio...they represent the caliber of deer there.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

I'm in Portage county. I have some HUGE hunting pressure around my house - all season long - every single day - and its all private land. In fact, last year I saw 3 deer total. All small does. I've never even seen a deer with more than 7 points (in 15+ years of hunting) - so when I see all these trail cam pics of everyone else's land, I can't believe it! However, this year, I'm going to my wife's grandfather's land in Logan County KY - some prelimary scouting has shown some good looking deer. Hopefully my luck will turn to the better!

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Oh - and buckeyebuckhntr has my vote for Capt.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Buckeye has my vote. Team name????????

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Krieses

I live right on the Portage countyborder in Newton Falls. We are damn near neighbors. Where abouts are you in Portage?

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

I live in Suffield - Directly North of Hartville or East of Mogadore - what a small world!!!

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

So, how about we collectively come up with a team name?

Any suggestions? Here are a few...

The Chosen few :D

Team Buckcrazy

Team Buckjunkies

Team Bucknutz

Team Buckzilla

What are your guys ideas?

[/align]

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Oh, I got one for ya! How about Team Doe Run? Or, Team Do Re Me Fa So La Te Do?

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Scott

Good luck hunting this fall. I would give you some grief but I see you are getting plenty already. Too bad theydon't seem to bevery good at it. Hopefully they are betterbow huntersor is their team going to be in for alet down!! [8D]

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Team Names I like :

Dawn Patrol
Sunrise Posse
Team Bloodtrail
Team Droptine
HNI Mob
Team Danger
Team Code Red
Team Trails End

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Anything but Bucknutz would be just fine. Do we call Buckeye captain or should it be something like "Your Honor" or "Oh Great One". With trail cam pics like those he can carry us to glory. Do pics make as thin of a soup as droppings? I got so many tree steps screwed in that I should have shares in Ameristep. The swamp maples have started to change color a bit sothe fun can't be to far away. I'm gonna have to start practicing calling in sick to work. Cough Cough, I got a fever......

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

I kind of like Dawn Patrol or Buckjunkies

how about buckaholics?

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

The team could be bucknutz and buckeye as capt. could be big bucknutz.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

I like Dawn patrol. Also how about we do a little meet and greet? I will start it off. My name is Dave, 43 years old ( please no old guy comments) Been bowhunting since I have been 14. I have hunted in Ill., ND, SD, VA, MD, PA andCali. I am retired military now living and working in southern maryland. Also, when does everyones season start? Mine is on the 15th of Sept.[:-]


Dave

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Tim,

Thank you sir and I wish you continued success this year. I also noticed the weak smack being tossed over here :D

Planter Mobow likes the "bucknutz", because he knowsour teamis going to be dropping em' on team 8 this year [8D]

MD

I am 26 years old and live in the geat state of Ohio. I hunt some excellent areas that produce some nice whitetails and I have been fortunate enough to take a few of them big boys. I start hunting Sept30th.

Anyone plan on any videoing? I am undecided at this time.

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

Man Buckeye--more similarities

My name is Mat and I'm 26 (just turned on the 21st) - hunt in OH (with little success) and in KY (hopefully with LOTS of success). I've also hunted in WV. I've been hunting for the past 20 years, but only bowhunting for the past 4.

My little girl turns 9 months old on Sept 1. On Sept 2 is the opener in KY. I'm pretty sure she wants daddy to bag a nice big buck for her birthday...

As for videoing - I've never rally had anything to video--so thats a no for me - but if anyone needs a cameraman, I would be willing to try it out (if you are close by - I see alot of our teammates are around OH).

RE: 34-Team Official Thread
 

My name is Ashley (its tough growing up with a name like this, but hey my mom was a bigGone With The Wind fan). I am 30 years old, I live in WV. I have access to alot of hunting in WV, including Mon Co, Preston Co., and Pocahontas Co. The only bad thing is WV isn't known for producing huge bucks(only a few select southern counties). I may not have the biggest buck on the team but I hope to add some points to our score. I start hunting Oct. 14.
