I like the logo - MUCH smaller, and was wondering if it could be square but not rectangular.

Who has time/wants to be team leader then?

No new news here in BC Canada!

Looks good.. Just needs to be smaller...

Shot a decent 6 point w/ no brow tines in Canada. Whopping score of 58.5". Came out right before dark. I shot him for an 8, but was suprised when I walked up to him. 70 yards w/ 7mm Mag. Didn't take a step.
Not what I was hoping for in Canada, but better than coming home empty handed.

5 days and counting for me!!!!!
Just found me some new private land bordering a 4000 acre state forest! The lady says that she can't even put a plant in the back yard without it disappearing!!!! And she says she's seen a couple big ones!!! More scouting work I guess!!!!
If I knew what a captain had to do I might volunteer!

NY Rifle starts Sat. I will be out then... Mass shotgun does not start until 11/27. Should be a good one!

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
I killed a decent little 5 pointer with my blackpowder Tuesday evening. I thought he was a little better but when I found him I realized he didn't have any brow tines. Shotgun/rifle opener is Nov 18 in most of the counties I hunt so I will probably wait and try to enter my second buck killed (if I get a second one) and hold out for something a little bigger. I will post some pics ofthe blackpowder buckwhen I get a chance. He probably only scores about 70"-75". Anyway good luck to all.

Western MA Hunter 11-17-2006 09:52 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
I think you could enter him now... and then if you get a 2nd you can have the moderator scratch the first one off. That was my intention. Got any pics of him?

I Shot a small doe w/ the bow last night. Nothing big... just a skip... but she'll be good eating!

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Well guys, I'm officially big buck or doe hunting! As I stated earlier I was hunting state land the first 3 days and then to private land!!
About 2pm today I hit the woods for one last state hunt! Soon as I hit the state land I see 5 cops and a navy helicopters and then a police helicopter! I never did talk to any, but theywere grid searching for something!
Anyway, I decide I'm going to still hunt for the evening! I start slowly walking up a strip of woods between two fields! Walking a little bit, glassing a little bit. After about 45 minutes the helicopters leave, and the woods return to the sounds of nature!When Icame up to this thicket that's hard to see through I start picking it apart with my glasses. Next thing I know I see a ear twitch, then a tail flick. Then it takes a step and I see most of the deer, about 150yds broadside. I slowly step behind a tree and he turns and starts heading my way I get down on 1 knee to further conceal myself! Wind is perfect in my face.It stepped out from behinda tree at 30ydsand I let the 870 roar! My shot was a little back, but caught 1 lung and the liver!! It still went 300yds, but my freezer is full, and I'm happy!! I don't know the score, or have a picture, until tommorrow, but it's 108# spike buck with one spike about 8" and the other broke off at about 5", and about a 7" spread! So, I got us a few points for now! With any luck I'll tag one of them big ones from private land and this one won't count!!

ANYWAY, YAY ME, AND GOT BUCK"S?

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
hey guys, my 1st day of hunting, so far I saw a 6 pointer. I could have killed him, but I didnt wanna. I think he would have scored at about the 100 inch mark. I want something a lil bigger.

Hey guys
Not a whole lot to report here as of recently. Am heading on a four day hunt for mulies and whitetail on Tuesday, and will post results when I get back.

Are there any rules that the buck you enter, has to be harvested in your home state/province?
Or are you allowed to enter any buck you harvest, as long as you harvest it, its legal, etc.

Western MA Hunter 11-20-2006 06:45 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Nice work Vikesfan! he'll be good eating! Anything around here w/ horns is a trophy! I wonder what they were searching for w/ the helicopters and police? Interesting.

I went to NY for the opener Sat... Could have shot a couple of doe the first drive of the day. They walked right into me before we even started. We moved a couple around, but nobody shot anything. I didn't go yesterday, but one guy killed a small spike. That's it.

Pretty slow. Another buddy shot a doe and a 5 point Sat & Sun.

Hey guys, managed to take this 8 pointer with a muzzleloader in KY. I just got done hunting the first season of IL but didnt see anything I wanted to take. The 8 pointer scores 101 5/8. Hopefully I will have better luck second season here in IL.


Western MA Hunter 11-20-2006 07:19 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Nice buck IL!!! Did you enter him in on the score card yet?

NEW61375 11-20-2006 11:00 AM

Sorry they are so dark, I don't really know how to lighten them up.

Western MA Hunter 11-20-2006 12:01 PM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
New. That is a nice 5 point. I would have shot him too!
Good looking buck. Looks like you hit him perfect too.
Congrats.

By the way guys... I unofficially named myself captain to help out on one of the posts for a pic w/out thehunter... If someone else wants the honor....feel free... otherwise I will step up...
Shoot 'em up~!


bristowboy_20 11-20-2006 07:39 PM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
man, I shot at a MONSTER this morning and missed. Its AT LEAST a 10 pointer, Im pretty sure theres some kickers and stuff too. I saw it again this evening, within 50 yards, but I didnt get a shot. I feel confident that I will get this deer unless someone else beats me to it.... AHHH itll score 160-170!!!! grrrr I wanna go back out now but its dark!! haha

Funny part is I see it on the news, and it's was one of my buddies on again off again girlfriends!!!LOL

P.S. I got pictures, I'll post them tomorrow!

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Sorry about yourmiss Britow... tough shot?
I hope you connect before someone else does too... You've seen him twice... 3rd time will be a charm. Smoke him!
Vikes... so let me guess this straight... it's your buddy's ex girlfriend that robbed the bank!? :) LMAO. That is great.

Heading off tonight for a four day whitetail and mule deer hunt. Hoping to have some pics for yu guys when I return!

BTW - as long as the animal is legally harvested etc, we are allowed to tag it regardless of province/state and place it in the conpetition?

Good luck guys!

Western MA Hunter 11-22-2006 07:15 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Yes... Just has to be legally tagged and bagged by the member

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Well so far nothing for me. I havent seen that biggun for 2 days now, but hey, 2 days is nothing lol. IF I dont get it during my firearm season, muzzleloader season is the next season for me. and that counts as firearm. I DID see a 2 pointer that I could have shot, but a 2 pointer? NOT ME. I live in Indiana, which is secretly the #5th state in the nation for trophies (or#6th, I forget lol). And theyre around here too. :) Im goin out in the morning, so hopefully Ill see one... Not the same property as the big one I saw, but I found a dead 154 incher last year on this property. And bigger ones have been seen!!!

bristowboy_20 11-23-2006 04:41 PM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
well dudes, someone shot the biggun i was after...

Western MA Hunter 11-24-2006 07:42 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Sorry Bristow... Did you see it? How big was he?
Vikesfan.. That's not a bad little buck... He'll be good eatin'... As I've said before... anything w/ horns out this way is a tropy. Congrats.
Shotgun opens Monday here. Looking forward to it. We've got a great spot this year.


Western MA Hunter 11-28-2006 07:35 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Mass Shotgun started yesterday. Very slow around here. My brother in law took a doe... That is the only deer any of us saw all day .

bristowboy_20 11-28-2006 10:09 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Sunday is my last day. So far Ive not been able to get a shot ata deer. If I dont see one by Sunday, then Ill have to wait a week and go muzzleloader hunting.

agaucher 11-29-2006 06:02 PM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
Hey boys, well here is the deer I will be entering into the contest. A very rough score brings him in in the mid 170's - its all his mass, 6" round bases which holds almost entierly to the tips. Take a peek at the pictures, and I will do a thorough scoring of him later. Can post a story if you guys would like to read it too. Just getting over some food poisoning so I dont feel like scoring him tonight :S

Side view - nice mass:



Front view:



The whitetail that got away at 10 feet! (frozen safety :S):



bristowboy_20 11-30-2006 11:44 AM

RE: Team 11 checkin
 
wow man, thats a nice deer for sure.... I shot at an 8 point yesterday but I missed. it sucks lol
