Git R' Done shedd for TEAM CHAOS baby!!

Shed33 thx for the post, part of me really enjoys reading about your hunting adventures.

To be honest I am jealous[X(] Damn I want to hunt!!!!

haha ...I am trying guys..themoonphase had the critters crawling everywhere after dark last week.. its getting better now...the good news is..if I just wait until the middle of next week... My pole barn will be done! I will have a nice place to hang critters.. I am ordering a hoist today.. its been ratchet hoists my entire life..I am stepping up to a 880 lb electric hoist... I cant wait.. The framing is done, the trusses are on...etc.. Gonna build a little cooler room to for hanging quartered elk and deer.. I am excited..

Troy, thanks for the update. I bet you get that 4x5.

It's funny, your extra animal sightings are elk and bears, while mine are opossum, armadillo, squirrel and racoon. [8D]

About the only update I will have for the next month will be game cam pics. [:@]

I cant wait til the entire team is hunting.. wont be too long..

Ok guys and ladies (lady?) I am back for a couple of days... Had a great hunt, I personally didn't kill a caribou gave my tag to one of your camera guys instead. And he scored his first one!!!! Very happy for him. But back to to deer hunting! This is what I have lined up. Ohio opener for 3 days I will be happy with a 150's. Than to Missouri (should be able to get into a 160/170 class there), than back to home where I have pictures everyday of four 120-140 class deer. Should be exciting. Seeing them and killing them is a completely different story so we will see. What about you guys? What do you have planned?

I plan to be at it come early Saturday morning.

Geeeeez Troy, we were gonna send out a search party for you pretty soon. I sure hope you can close the distance on that big 4 X 5. Man that would be fun to see deer, bear and elk all on the same sit in a stand. What kind of temps. are you hunting in right now?

Just got my ASAT blind today. It is raining outside so I might have to set it up in the basement tonight. Gonna give that a try some this year.


Well my boss may have changed my plans a little. We have to work some overtime. I gotta stay an extre 4 hours 2 nights a week and 2 hours on another night. So I won't be on here as much either. Why does this always seem to happen just when I want to start hunting? Don't know how long this will last, hopefully just a couple weeks.We have a couple of machines that are broken down. And we are going to need them for a new job coming up. So we have to get them running again. I had planned on hunting most nights after work once the season starts on the 15th here in MO. Got some descent bucks around here 120-140 and there might be a few surprises thrown in too. Then when IL starts on Oct. 1, I usually spend one day of the weekend up there and maybe both if things look real promising. Some real nice bucks running around up there. One might push 170, I just got a quick look at him a couple weeks ago. I think he is a big 10 pt with split tines or some stickers.

Come on Oct 1st, Im ready...

Hey guys just walked in the door from this evenings hunt. Elk elk elk.... walking down the ridge out in front of me just at dark about 10-15 of them... I couldnt make out any antlers, I hit my cow call a couple times just to see if a bull would answer and nothing did..

Two small bucks this evening walked down and out in front of me about 40-50 yards.. they looked like twins.. 4x4s...2.5 year olds.. No bears this evening but lots of bear sign in and around my hike into my stand ...theres an orchard down the mountain about 1/4 of a mile, I am cutting the bucks off on their way down to that orchard and then a water hole....they arent hitting the orchard area until well after dark.

I didnt get to hunt the 4x5 tonight, I got home a tad too late and didnt want to chance it... still was a great evening to be out and I got so see some critters... The stand I hunted tonightis one I save for a day like this...I call it my never know stand..cause its in a nice spot where ya never know what may come down off that ridge...

HUNT.... sounds like you have some GREAT areas to hunt... best of luck and put one down!

Jeff, good luck bud, like I said, I still think you'll be the first to enter a buck for Chaos..

John... well I dont see them all at once very often but the other day I got lucky and saw elk, deer and two bears...in one spot.. thats glassing them ....they didnt all walk under me if that was what you were thinking...

I haven't had this many elk around in the first 7 day of a hunting season... I am not even trying to hunt the elk, I wish they would leave me and my whitetails alone..[:@]

The other day Rob had a young 4x4 out in front of one of mystands and he was feeding and he kept looking in the brush like another deer was coming... thenoff the adjacent ridge comes the cows.. (elk) one good bull...that buck moved on...thats happens a good bit here... elk bumping whitetails.. in the evenings on good feeding areas..

Gotta tell ya all something interesting I watched with those bears...the two looked like twin boars.. pretty decent sized..but nothing huge..just nice bears... 200 lbrs.. 250 maybe.. good bears for here...anyway..ones in an apple tree..the other is below..they are feeding on apples.. so then I spot the normal does that feed in the area..they are feeding about 250 yards away...the bears move on after a while...and over a ridge.. as soon as those bear vacate..those does trot across the draw like they know what they are doing and go right to the apples.. They didnt once act like that bear scent bothered them a bit... it was like...they couldnt believe those bears had the nerve to eat their apples...

Just checked accueweather.. I got the wind I want tomorrow for the 4x5... I am gonna drive seperate to work (wife and teach together) so I can get home early and get out there to hunt him...Talk to you all tomorrow..!

peace out...
