welcome to out team 121553, glad to have you one it. I hope your wife is ok.

Went out hunting on wednesday afternoon and like a kid at christmas, i couldnt wait to get in my prime "rut" stand. I should have known better since the deer are all up in the oak trees now, but i had to do it. Well i didnt see a thing and my buddy went up into a section of the oaks and was covered up in deer, does, fawns and some small bucks but no shooters. Going to go out this afternoon if the rain stops, which it should and then hunt all day tomorrow, weather permitting again. Hopefully monday morning ill have something good to report.

Thanks njbuck. Sounds like your the only one chequein in and keeping usupdated on the hunts. Even though I'm not hunting right now I did see a 4x5 and a 5x5 ( twins) in velvet come through the yard here and pay me a visit as I'mbuilding this kabin making as kinds of noise. I think these were the same twins from last year and they were only little forkies then. I don't shoot deer on my property cause there kinda like pets and many mornings deer are 10 ft from my front door when I wake in the morning. But stupid me will drive 6 miles and hike 2 or 3 miles into the bush and shoot a doe ( drawn "B" Tag ) and bust me arse dragging it back and dealing with the elements. I kind of wonder about my logic about that.
Whats everyone esle doing? Scouting, hunting or out of the contest? At least let us know if your still alive.
Also, does anyone know who are captain is? I havent recieved my gift package for signing on this team.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was good, but not what i was hoping for. Ended up hunting on friday afternoon, saw a couple of deer, but if it wasnt for bad luck i would have had no luck at all. I was out to kill a doe or a nice buck and all the does i saw came in to my setup and a spike came out of nowhere and chased them all off. Right before dark a really nice 8 point came in that i was going to shoot, but it came in with a doe and a fawn and believe it or not, the doe chased the 8 pointer off, so no shots at any of them. Sat night i hunted a different property and saw 8 deer, all does and fawns and had 3 does and 3 fawns at 25 yards. Thought they were going to come in closer but it never happened. I was frustrated to say the least. Went out before work this morning and saw 9 deer. Only had a couple of fawns, 2 spikes and a small 6 point come in under me today, all the does stayed out of range. No shooter bucks seen. Im seeing plenty of deer but just havent been able to seal the deal. Hopefully this week, im really craving some backstraps.

At least your seeing deer njbuck. I don't know whenthe rut peaks out there but here it peaks out at the last week in november. Last year I past up on some nice ones antcipating a bigger one during the rut. The rut and the last week of hunting season coincide the same week. Needless to say I had to eat tag soup last year and I don't think I'll be as choosey this year. I like my elk hunting too butI won't do them at the same time.
Good luck and keep it safe.
Just one more thing Team 9, make sure you get a picture of the bow, the entire buck and yourself in the photo in order to enter the contest. There is no exceptions to that rule. [X(]

Hi Unleashed

Ho captain yet , just checking

121553

We have no captain, we are a bunch of renegades goin huntin. Whom ever gets the biggest deer is captain. If people spent as much time hunting as they do in here they may have more points as opposed to wanting to be ruler. Lets get out in the woods and stop playing games.

My little bro who lives where I'll be hunting the opener this weekend said they saw 2 pope and young bucks near our stands while scouting last weekend. Hopefully I'll be trying to figure out how to post pics of one of them after this weekend!
