Tom2008 checking in from Minnesota! This will be my first deer contest here so I hope I can be good asset to the team. My season opens up September 15th and I'm all set for that day. I might just trim up the trails to the stands and make a mock scrape or two. I have a suggestion for a team name too. I've always liked Antler Assassins let me know what you guys think.

What's up spanky?

Since you guys are begging to know more about me. . .I'll humor you and devulgealittle about myself:

Age: 24

Married: Yes, soon to be 3 years

Children: Yes, 2 year old Mason and baby boy #2 on the way, due Nov. 4th.

I live in IL, hunt in IL, and farm for a living. I am currently finishing up my Elementary Education Degree, I have to student teach this upcoming semester. I really don't know why I am going to school to become a teacher, asI will most likely continue to farm after I get my degree.

Ohh, and I hate mushrooms and tomatoes.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Here is a little about myself too I guess. I am 17 years old and am going to be a Senior in High School this year! I plan on hunting at my cabin for the most part on weekends and I also have a Whitetail and Mule Deer Antlerless hunt in Montana coming up in November. I pretty much base everything I do around the outdoors. I shed hunt, fish, hike, camp, bow hunt, rifle hunt, shotgun hunt, a little bit of small game, and 4 wheeling.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Age: 27

Married: Yes

Children: No, two sphynx kitties

I live in Maryland, hunt on our family land in Wisconsin.

I have a BS in Civil Engineering and am currently working for an engineering firm in Maryland as a Highway Engineer/Project Manager.

I can't stand Tomatoes, Broccoli, people who don't know how to use a turn signal and women who "try" to drive an SUV while chatting on the cell phone.

I have been bowhunting since 1994. I started hunting with a PSE Nova and last year upgraded to what I have listed below. I hunt on land that is managed in the QDM program. Last year I had a beautiful 13 pointer running around my stand but he gave me no shots. This year I am going to arrow that buck.

Oh ... you guys got dwd2001 , Bols and the little mousey man , your team isin trouble

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Please explain. I can't wait to hear this one.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Hello boys... sorry it took mea while. This is my 29th day in a row of work but it'll all be done on Wednesday. More later. Dwd2001 checking in from OK.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Well it's a long story but here goes ... with Bols if he hits a target it will explode! ... dwd2001 he's a good shooter but his snoring will scare every deer out of the woods and your little mousey man ... his idea of a buck is in the picture below ...

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

At least were not old like you RD. I notice your font is getting bigger. I guess it's time to go back for thicker glasses.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Good luck to your group from Team 19.

I'm tryng to get MDBUCKHUNTER to hunt MD this year with me. You guys have got to put some pressure on him for me. He's a good shot but needs new glasses. He can't see the target to well. Looks like your whole team is in trouble from what RDHunter is saying.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I'm not getting this whole our team is in trouble thing either.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

You guys are too uptight. It's called busting chops. Josh is my buddy and I'm giving him a hard time.:D

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

BLIND!?
[hr]

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Dave is cross eyed. That's the rumor I am spreading. Pass it on.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

We need to think of some team names. Any suggestions?

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I'll help clarify some things for you guys. . .RD is indeed busting some chops.

DWD, myself, RD, among others attended the HNI Hunt'n Camp this past summer. RD got pounded by mosquitoes. . .shot at a 3-D target only to hit a rock and shatter an arrow, along with almost losing his camper on the way home.

I really find myself quite a good teammate and DWD is a stand-up guy himself (even though he is from Okieville). . .don't worry about the fact that I win Benny Franklin's by shooting at exploding deer either! ;)[8D]

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I think Antler Assassins is a sweet name. I suggested it in my first post.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Hi Guys, I'm glad to join in and am looking to a great season ahead......Don

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Impressive. . .and to semi-quote Billy Madison, "Boy, am I glad[we got that]guy!"

And Fieldmouse. . .I like the suggested, Busting The Nuts.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Did anyone else notice that Michiganhunter is listed as #33 while Hazcon7 is the official entrant #33 on the Main Sign-up page?

And, I did a little private investigation and found that Michiganhunter has0, yes"zero"post? How did he sign up then?

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Okay guys. . .here is an updated "check-in" list. Looks like we are missing three guys as of right now:

Team 26

409 Ohio RedNeck
320 Buckslayer1
285 dwd2001

Everyone doesn't have to all talk at once either! We will all haveour turn... ;)[8D]

Anyone else still getting things set-up for season, hanging stands, shooting your bows, glassing, etc???

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I believe itmay bea typo. If you look on the sign up list there is a michigan hunter14 listed as #53. I don't see him listed with any other teams so I am assuming this is our guy.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I'm all set for the season! I'm going to head to my buddy's land on Thursday in Wisconsin to help him hang a few stands.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Good call dabowhunter. . .that is probably the correct teammate.

Tom, do you get to hunt your buddy's land?

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I'd like to but we'll see. Only time will tel at this point.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

"Busting The Nuts" sounds good to me.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I'm fired up. 20 years bow hunting. Seen some monsters and some years multiple times out but never had a shot at them. See a ton of nice bucks where I hunt but I try to pass them up until late and/or I know I'm running out of days to be in the woods.

Buckslayer, where do you hunt? I have access to property up in the WVU panhandle. I saw some awesome bucks though in Charleston, right next to the airport 2 weeks ago. They weren't wider then about 18 inches or so but very high racks. They were in upper 130's. Just got me excited to see the pair mid afternoon if you know what I mean.

MdBuckhunter, where do you hunt? I spend most of my time in Montgomery and Howard county. Been hunting there for a lot of years. I live in NC and do have some nice property, but my neighbor's boy started hunting last year and I want him to take one of the bucks running in my neighborhood. Also the chiggers down here are the pits until late October. I have to be desparate to hunt before that in NC.

Last place I have access to and I'm might try the trip is Illinois. I've been invited out there several times. If I went, it would be a short trip but because I don't know exactly where or anything about the place, I think I would chaulk it up to a boondoggle trip rather then hunting but you never know.;)

Good luck and let's win this thing. I'd like to be the first to repeat.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Fieldmouse,

I hunt primarily in Wisconsin (Sauk County) for 10 peak rut days a year. We have some monsters running our land and I am hoping to bag one this year. We do QDM so the antlers must be outside of the bucks ears. (which usually isn't a problem)

I am also thinking about hunting second season in Maryland. Maybe the Fort Meade area with Davepjr (Team #19). It's hard to transfer gear from one place to another and money to do so usually becomes an issue. I'll also have to see how work goes. First season archery is usually equal to second season of Construction and that means I am super busy.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Where are the rest of our team members??????

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

I'm here, I'm here!! We just finisheda reallybig project today so my free time will be in a much more abundant fashion. I've picked up a couple of new places and now I'll finally have time to go check them out. I hunt primarily in Oklahoma and Texas... but in September my two best friends and I are going Elk hunting in Wyoming and I can't wait for that either...

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Here is a picture of the dorm that we just built, the students moved in today.

RE: 26-Official Team 26 Thread
 

Elk hunting in Wyoming? Sweeeet

Are you self guiding?
