Line Raiders.Only 28 days to go.

Only 43 days for me.

The bad part of the earlyseason will be the ticks. Anyone else have a bad tick problem this year? I received a e-mail at work last weekabout a co-worker that passed away, while I did not know him (large company) the cause of death was undiagnosed Lyme disease. I hate those dam things.

Paul

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Usually we have ticks coming out the wazoo around here, but we're in such a bad drought that I was able to spend about 5 hours in the woods yesterday and all I had was one little micro tick on my sock.

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

You guys can have those damn ticks, I'll take the bears any day! (At least if they get you you die with your boots on.)

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread

Ken

When does everyones season start?

Bow opener is Oct. 6. Ive got the morning and afternoon stands picked out. I am too darn excited.

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Mine starts September 15th, not too sure which stand I'll be in, but I know which area I'll be going to.

Ken

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

September first, here.

I've got to go out Friday and set my blind and hang my stands. I've never been this late getting this stuff done, but I know where the deer are, so... ;)

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Mine opened on August 1st, antlers don't reach full developement until late Aug./ early Sept. though so I'll wait to get serious until I get back from moose hunting in mid Sept. (unless I have to go to sea on this damn research project for work!!![&:]) Then it'll be into mid Oct. No worries though boys, I've got until Jan.

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Sucks having a job doesn't it?;):D

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Especially my job where I talk about hunting all day! ;):D

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

October 1st here, runs till December 31st. Yeeeehaaa:D

My job always seems to interfears with my hunting and fishing[:@]

Paul

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

September 15th for me. I still have a couple of stands to hang myself. Would have done it last weekend but we got about 7 inches of rain over the weekend. It's suppose to be somewhat dry this coming weekend,so hopefully I can get it done then.




Cliff

And yes, having to work does suck. Especially from Sept. 15th - Dec. 31st

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Our season starts Sept 29 here. Luckily I have every day of the season to hunt this year.

RE: 23-Official Team Rub Line Raiders Thread
 

any of yalls states have the law where you have to shoot a doe first, before you can tag a buck?

RE: 23-Official Team Rub Line Raiders Thread
 

If I remember right... a few years back MD had a rule that you had to shoot at least one doe before you could shoot your second buck, but I'm not sure if that one's still on the books.

Ken

RE: 23-Official Team Rub Line Raiders Thread
 

Doe season doesn't open until Oct. We can get three bucks up until then when it is open for either sex but the limit is still 3.

RE: 23-Official Team Rub Line Raiders Thread
 

In the unit that I hunt in Wisconsin we have earn-a-buck, butI took a doe during rifle season last year so I'm good to go come bow season.

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

We shall see....... No rag horns this year :D;)

Hopefully you listen more than you talk

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Yeah, it's hell when you gotta put your big boy pants on and earn a living, huh? :D:D

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Earn a living? Are you kidding me? I landscaped for two and a half years before this. Working at Sportsman's is a vacation. ;)

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

So uhhhhh.... When did part time summer jobs count as working for a living :D

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Just curious :eek:did you ever work in the cosmetic department on the mall? [8D]

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

It was full time during the summers and part time during the school year. I worked full time as soon as I graduated up until the car accident. ;)

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Boy, they sure are busting your b@lls arnt they Washington?

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

They just don't want to be shown up by a young guy, BigJim.

Its fine, we'll see where we stand in a month or so. ;)

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

The funny part about that is you actually believe it :D:D:D

Now that my stomach is finished hurting from me doubling over in laughter, best of luck kiddo..... best of luck;)

[/align][/align][/align][/align]That's what the rest of the world calls part time [8D][/align]

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Yes we will. I don't care if I'm shown up by a young guy or not actually. I hope you do smack a good 'un! But remember, I'll always wonder whether it was scored correctly or not....:eek::D:D

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

You talking about his 300 round that only had 290 some holes, or the rest of theweeks where he just added the score up wrong?:D

Tell ya what wash if and I mean IF you shoot one this year just drive over the Sheds and let him add it up for ya

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

We all know I can't count.

Hell, I took my placement testing yesterday and wound up in the 90's math course. :eek:

At least when I'm scoring a buck I've got an online calculator to use. :D

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

That's why Wash is our official team scorer... We're sure to win now!

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

I'd like everyone to welcome Jack (StealthBuck) to the team. He checked in with me via PM and should make his appearance here shortly.

Welcome Jack!

RE: 23-Official Team 23 Thread
 

Hey guys,

It looks like i have CT covered. I have been bowhunting for 6 years. Our season opens here on Sept 15 and for me runs through the end of the year.

My season will start though with a 2 week trip out to New Mexico for Mule deer and elk. I have a Muley tag and my brother in law has an elk tag. This will be my 3rd trip out there. We will be in unit 15. So I will be away from the computer for a while.

This is the first time i have done a contest like this. I like the bow and try to get out as much as i can.

Hopefully I will be able to help the team out. I know we don't grow them to big here in CT but i have seen some nice racks.

Good Luck everyone. Shoot straight.
