A nice job done by you. Thanks for all your work. I only wish the deer would show up a little better.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Thanks guy's, I may make another in the next couple of days and try to do something a little different with the deer. I have something else in mind that I think you guy's will like.

Season starts Oct 1 here in Iowa. It has been nuts around work the last month with everyone getting ready for harvest here in Iowa. Hunt with my brother in law around here on private ground in Iowa. We got some nice bucks spotted so should be a good year.

I havn't had much time to post lately but be assured I will be in the stand every possible moment when the season starts.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

I agree nice job springcaller. Thanks.
SW Iowa sounds like your getting ready to put the smack-down on one
Good luck buddy. Season starts here sept-8 and i have been hanging stands and Practicing.....I`M READY! I am having a hard time sleeping at night just think about the upcoming season! I bet i havekilled the same buck in my dreams 4 times already:D

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Glad to hear most of everyone is seeing some deer.

Just wanted to remind you guys to check out the contest rules before you guys start slaying deer. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=2206816

Mainly, we want to make sure that when you take a picture; you need to have you, your entire deer, and bow in the picture or it will be disqualified. It happened to a guy on my team last year and did not get counted.

Thanks, hopefully it worked.

I know what you mean. The property I hunt has so many promising areas. I think I finally narrowed it down to where I'm placing some stands. One spot is near community scrap, along with a spruce that's always shredded, that's been there for three years now (didn't hunt the property before that). Also, major oak flat and creek nearby. Never hunted that spot because I'm not much of a ground hunter, but now I have a Lone Wolf to set up there. Landowner doesn't want me to trim limbs to climb with my Summit. I'll be up there this weekend to scout/set stands.

Yup, I know what you mean...

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Still have a month to go but I'm starting to get equipment ready.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

This will be my 3rd contest. But i don`t want to forget anything so i will the read the rules again just to make sure..
My season starts next weekend..sept-8...Just wondering:eek:Is anyone season starting this weekend?
Man that sounds like a sweet area... (imo)I would do what ever the land owner wanted me to be able to keep land like that to hunt..
Like you sead time to hang the lock-on;)

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

My bow season which is about 3 1/2 hours away starts Sept. 15th. Its gun season here in the low country which opened Aug. 15th.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

We haveexperienced a pretty bad drought this summer. I don't think we will be having a very good acorn
crop this year. What are some of the favorite foods in your hunting areas?

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

I pretty much try to hang out around the white oaks myself. I think ours are doing to hot either this year.[&o]

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Season starts here this weekend sept-8 anyone else hunting yet?

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Spent Sunday and Monday morning scouting and setting up stands. The spot I described in an earlier post is showing some good sign. Trails are still being used and a few acorns starting to fall. Not as many as there was in past years. Everyone thinks it was the late frost we had put a hurt'n on the acorn crop. Sunday evening I spent sitting in a box blind overlooking a sorghum food plot with my camera. Deer were in there stripping the seed pods off like it was candy. I had a decent 8pt, 2 six pts, a 4 pt, 3 spikes (all in velvet except the 8pt) and about 15 does with about 100yds. We have a rule on the propery of no hunting within 500yds of the food plots.

I am sooooo ready for this season to start!!!!

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

yea i plan on going out tomarrow and doing a little pre-season practice on some pigs that are tearing up my food plots here piggy piggy piggy

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Hey everyone, just a word of caution for safety's sake. BE CAREFULL out there. I don't know how many of you use safety harnesses but it probably is a good idea. Myself i have'nt been, but I may be rethinking after yesterday. I climbed up into one of mystands yesterday to see if i needed to trim a tree. I stepped into it and half a second later i was lying on my upper back and shoulders with my feet in the air at the base of the tree. Man did that hurt on the way down as my arms scraped the bark off and hit limbs. I was trying to hold onto the pine tree as I slid down it. OUCH!! It was a hang-on stand and the ratchet strap stiching broke. A day later i'm really starting to feel it. Swollen and bruised in places but lucky nothing worse. Just everyone be careful out there. I would hate for someone to get in a hurry and get hurt.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Good reminder onebigelk and glad to hear that your were'nt seriously hurt.

Good luck RTA on the season opener. I still have a month to go.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Man, what a mess....couldn't logln for 3 days,[:@] if I disappear that's the reason. Scoped out the happy hunting grounds Sat. Looks promising,I hunt public land and they justopened up 800 more acres that have not been hunted in ten years.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

sounds like their might be a good opportunity their lifesadrag, but probablyall the other huntersin your area are thinking the same thing. Good luck!

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Getting about time to switch over to hunting arrows. Got 2 archery tournaments left for the year, then will switch over to all hunting. The little bucks are starting to run around finally.

Corn is turning and the combines are starting to roll. Should be a good year for having some crops out before the season is too far along.

Good Luck!!!

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Thanks for the good luck on the bowhunting forums dc.

Going after them this Sat. Should be some ok weather in the mornings. Hope for a nice buck, but the land owner only lets us hunt, and he wants some dead. If we do not kill, we might have some company.[:@]

Well will try and hold out, but just practicing for the big boys in Oh. and Il. Trying out the Slick Tricks and gave my buddy some Hellrazors.

Keep you posted, Brian

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

I'm sure they are but its about a 3 mile walk to the new area unless you mountain bike it, that might keep the pressure down for a while.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Good luck to you guys that will be hunting this weekend. I will also be out there. We are aloud to take 2 bucks here so the first decent thing that walks by i`ll do my best to put some numbers on the board. It my not be very big but every inch counts!. Again good luck and be safe!!

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

I'll be leaving for New Mexico this sunday for a week of bow hunting bull elk in unit 51. Also, I just got to check my trail cams a couple of days ago and I found that a couple of nice eight points are frequenting one of my feeding stations. I hope everything is going good for all you guys. If I get a chance I'll try to post some of those pics.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Good luck & I'll be looking forward to some pics.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Here are a few of the pics of a couple of different bucks.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Very nice. One will be a nice addition to our winning score....LOL
I have 15 days to go till the opener!!!

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Well, I found my goal for this year while out scouting yesterday. I saw a really nice 10 pointer (at least). He's tall and also has a decent spread on him.

Hopefully I can connect on that guy.:D

Good luck everyone who's hunting and be careful.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Those are some dandy bucks John Deer, good luck on connecting on one....good luck to everyone else aswell.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

nice pics, John Deere. Good luck in New Mexico going after those elk. Let us know how it goes.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Alright yall, where they at???:D

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Still waiting on Oct 1st. Seems to be taking forever to get here.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Well guys no buck but i did have fun anyways i took this doe about 8:30am saturday morning.
i have a few decent bucks working the area so maby not much longer.
The broadhead i was using is a rocky mt sniper first time ever using the head and WOW what a hole.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Nice shot RTA, be she didn't go far. Still have two and a half weeks before our opener. tick tick tick tick....

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Very nice. Hope to see one with horns real soon. I am starting to get excited about hunting, finally. Only 12 days left to wait....

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Man, that thing did some damage. Nice shot too.

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Well people, nothing this past weekend. A few does out too fare to shoot. Thats OK the season just started. My buddy had a Doe and 2 fawns come in, he said the fawns were in the 30 lbs range. He let them walk didn't want to worry about the fawns not making it. Thought that was a great choice.

Well try again this weekend.:D

Good job RTA....

RE: 37-OFFICIAL TEAM 37 THREAD
 

Thanks guys for the kind words. For those that have seasons about to open-up Best of luck!
Your not kidding it did some damage you should have seen the exit hole.
I switched to the rocky my snipers this yr after just wanting to try something new and wow was i impressed with the results.
I`ll be back at them again this weekend hopefully something with some bone on his head;)
