Cool, way to be on top of things!

Where is my team? We have three bucks shot and this contest is about putting bucks on the board. I don't want to hear my season is over. I know I can't get out for a few weeks but I'm still holding out hope for a big boy. My hunting buddy, who is a addicted nut, got an email from one of the new home owners he got new land from. There is a 16 point running around and I have to believe the shot gunners next door won't get a crack at him. I'm not holding my breath at him, I just want to let you know what's still out there waiting to be shot. So, don't give up. Don't pick up your gun. Stick with your bow and shoot something. I can assure you I will be able to put a buck on the board for us. Especially if we need it to win. I put the last buck on the board for Team8 to push by the team in first place. I know I can do it again. Lets get close to the other teams.

Still waiting on the rack from the butcher...I should be getting the call soon!

Alright guys, I got the antlers back...

I got us a whopping total of 52 4/8 gross

Points is points though

You are correct, points are points. Look for me to add some this week. It should be awesome hunting. I will be hunting pretty much the whole week and plan on killing a bunch of does and one nice buck.

Sweet, maybe we can break the 400" mark...

My season is over, but not before I stuck another nice doe. That makes 5 deer on the year! One more then last year.

Well guys...got some good news, I am finally done with school....I will be graduating this Sunday, December 16th. While I am excited, I am really disappointed in how much I had to sacrifice this semester in order to finish.

My family life has kept me pretty busy. While I would love to say I am going to try and hunt now that student teaching is over, our newborn, Caleb, has been a real difficult baby. I basically stay up with him at night, while my wife gets some rest. I leave for work in the mid morning while she tries to deal with him, as well as, my 3 year old, Mason.

Things are hectic.

I really feel pretty crappy about what I did to this team. Heck, I never would have signed up if I knew how much time I "WOULDN'T" have to hunt. I guess hindsight is always 20/20.

I figured, this year I bought my time for next season. I sacrificed hunting for a lot of things this year. Hopefully, a season like this one won't repeat itself again.

Guys, once again, congrats on the success of those who downed bucks! And I wish the best of luck for those who are still hitting the stands.

That's ok Bols, I personally was getting ticked off because of the bucks I wanted to kill but holding out for a better one.

Guy's, I came north to hunt this week but unfortunately I have several things screwing with me. I have a head cold. I still got out last night and this morning. Last night only saw a spike. This morning had a ton of deer walk up and around me. All Does, no shots. They smelled me and ran back into the park. I hung up my bow and about 40 mins later I had a little one walk up below me. I grabbed my bow and shot momma. I tried to nick another arrow because the other little one was trailing behind her. Oooops, forgot to clean the dirt off of it from my last kill. Anyway, she was a big Doe. For the record, I hate dragging a big Doe back up the hill.

For the really bad news, spent all day reversing fraudulant charges on my bank account. If you have a check card visa, cancel it now. If you choose to keep it, put a $500 limit or less on the card. Someone charged $1200 on ours and it's taken me all day to get that charge reverse, but it still isn't over. I've got bank fees and still need to close the account tomorrow.

Needless to say, I didn't make it out this evening. Tomorrow looks bad as far as the weather goes. I'm going to hang til Friday and hunt in the morning. If I don't shoot one then, it may be after Christmas for my next trip. I may not even hunt then because I plan on taking my son and letting him kill some animals. Fear not, I have until Jan 31st. I know I will hunt in Jan and I just bought a full set of UA 3.0. I'm dieing to see if I got taken or my moneys worth.

Fieldmouse, congrats on the good news, dragging a dead doe back up the hill and out of the woods.

And sorry about the crappy news and the fraudulant charges. I really hate the fact identity theft and fraudulant charges exists. Our world is in a sad state right now...just know that whoever has done this to you will be held accountable sometime in their future.

Check Card Visa, I am assuming you are talking about a debit card? Not to be rude, just curious if we are thinking of the same thing. Personally, I hate buying stuff over the internet....I just get baaaad feelings sending my account info through the internet. But like you said, I do have a credit card with a small balance ($500) so in case I have to break down and do a internet transaction, I know I could only get hit up for an amount I can honestly cover if need be.

Lucky for me, it is a Capital One (No Hassle Policy), and they are serious about the "no hassle" part. I had a fraudulant charge on my account once. I called them up and within about 25 minutes I had the previous account closed and them sending a new card and account number out to me the next day.

And to wrap this up....let me know how the 3.0 works.

Merry christmas team!

Good luck to anyone still out there trying to knock one over!
