Went scouting last night, saw 2 P&Y grazing in a soybean field. Hopefully they'll be hanging around in about a month

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Great tlutterba

John I love the mount in the room. Man I wish I could talk my wife into that.

Respect!!!!!

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Ok here are my bucks that I have mounted, and a couple turkey fans, beards and some other antlers from deer Ive killed along with who knows what else hehehe. Oh above the deer mounts is one of the self bows I carved out of some walnut. I used a draw knife and a tillering board to make it. It shoots awesome...

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Nice collection you have there Ken. Have you killed anything with the bow you made yourself. That would be a neat feeling.


Germ that is, as my wife calls it "your basement". I get to do pretty much what I want to down there. Even sleep once in a while. I have so many animals down there, when my daughter had sleepovers none of the girls could sleep down there. Too many eyes watching them.:eek:

Most of the smaller critters and the turkey I did myself. One of my hobbies I have picked up.

Now thats awesome.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

If I kill a wallhanger, all other teams will be in big trouble b/c I'm the only one on this team without a sponsor. [8D]

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Troy,
Do he have crab claws at the end of both?
I swear he is the older brother of mine from last year.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Nice Mounts AM

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Wow, guys, Great pix!

John, I absolutely love your work in the basement...Man I want a bear done like that someday. I have one in the freezer right now that I wish I had the money to do a full body mount with...I also have a bear rug..Its really cool you do your own Taxi-work..dang...

Arrowmaster, great looking bucks and cool stuff all over on that wall...

Really cool stuff guys..

Tony, nope he isnt crab clawed but his shed antler the year before instead of being webbed out like he is there was another point, so he was amain frame6x side the year before instead of a main frame 5... (shed below)

Will, I hope you get yourself a wall hanger this year.. its funny but once you have one or two around..you really want to get them some buddies to hang out with even more.... ;)

I am almost finished with my basement.. re-did it this summer ... I still have two bull elk to get hung up...and about 10 whitetail buck racks that I am putting on sliced pieces of tammarack knots..finding the big knots on firewood is the key..

I've mounted all of my bow kills except for 4...

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

left side from the year before.. I looked for more hours than I can count for that other side...never did find it..

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Very nice and cool, You get the hunt on tape?

Thoughts on the avatars?

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I know you all probably read this last year, but it is still a good statistical refresher (Germ, this is
downright nerdy[8D]) courtesy of fshafly2. It shows that we don't all have to kill bruisers (like in these
pics you guys are posting). With a few bruisers and some decent production from most of the
team, victory is ours. The key for Assassins was that I think 9 out of 10 killed. With only the top 4
scores reported, Assassins was basically tied for 5th place. Also, only 109/410 contestants
reported kills last year and the average kill was right at 100" (99.7).
Food for thought if a basket comes by (at least for me :D:D:D, but not our sponsored hunters).

Might want to repost this link on the main page. Good info for new guys (like me) and expectations.

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

WOW

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

my wife surprised me over fathers day by repainting and cleaning up the basement...then she let me decorate it.. :D

She did curtains..and paint ...it was pretty dark down there before with dark green walls.. I think it turned out nice..

Two pix below..one going down the stairs..the other looking back up the stairs.. I have all the beams both sides lined with sheds I've found over the years.. one wall I didnt photo is not done.. I elk and deer racks left to put on the tamarack knots..before I hang them up..

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Good point LB

Guys just be happy and hunt hard. Always remember this is supposed to be fun

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

looking back upstairs..

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Will your exactly right.. 8 out of 10 or 9 out of 10 will most likely win it forsure like with any year..

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

I'm hunting with Shed this year....

But alas, my grasshoppers, it's still hunting because if I remember correctly, someone went without last contest. ;)

But I wouldn't wish that on anyone, I'd like to see all 430 entrants score and best score takes all. :D

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Germ: Statistics and fun are not to be used in the same sentence, but I was curious how everybody
did last year, especially after looking at all the beastly pics posted by my team. :D

Troy, you chose your user name well! One day I will have to be happy with my little office/room
with a few bucks on the wall, maybe a bobcat chasing a wooduck, and then I will think about you
and John's damn taxidermy museums and cry over a beer. :D

RE: 43- Official Team Chaos Thread
 

Dang Troy, you got em lined up don't you. I like the beams with the sheds attached, very cool.

By the way, I don't have a sponsor. But if anyone wishes to donate to the cause. It will help to pay for my nonres IL tags. Those babies don't come cheap.:)

Keep the pics coming guys. I never get tired of seeing them. Gotta get my fix somehow until I can hunt again.

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

260+ replies?...........I just had to pop in and see if you had some nudie pictures on here or if someone is selling crack?;):eek:

I see it's just a big ol' sausage party love fest. Carry on! :D

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

That has got to be the best smack talking yet!!!

Tim

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Troy

Great pictures of your room!!! Wow doesn't even describe it!!

Tim

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Troy, those pics of your room are awesome, gonna have to post some pics of the elk when you get them hung up.

BTW, Matt that was funny:D

Shane

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Hey Will, your room sounds real nice..hope that all comes together for you..get started on it this year with your CHAOS buck..

John, you want a bear project? :)and..I was curious whatwhitetail forms are you using..I think mine are all Mckenzies..if I remember right..

Shooting the broadheads this evening a little bit and then drove down the road and glassed one buck tonight..looked decent..


SR77 and Tim thanks guys....its been fun adding more sheds to the beams each year..still cant hold a candle to you and Tyler though..Tim..good thing, I would run out of room down there... LOL

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Lebeau Asked in rack em up thread if one of my team mates could make a avatar which I figure he was being sarcastic. But the team mate made one so here it is.

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Hey Fraley, how did you get a picture of the buck I got tied up this year? I thought I had burned all of the copies. I think I like your newest one better by the way.

Jeff, I kinda like your idea of switching avatars as we start to score on the bucks.I think I remember the Bro's did that last year didn't they?

Troy, Haven't mounted a bear yet. But I guess it is like a big ol coon. I use Mckenzie forms too. The last couple I have done were Ben Mears forms. Here is my buck from last year I did.

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

LOL tied up.
We have 5 different avatars to choose from check them out in our thread.

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Troy....Thanks.;) I appreciate the confidence.....and you know I'll be huntin hard. But...I have a job to do with the thinning of the does in the herd. I may miss some opportunities because of targeting does. That's how I've chosen to go about this, though. I still wouldn't bet against me ;).

Some of us did ;):D

What a team. I'm psyched, guys. I have <25 days until I'm in a tree. Strategy is.....la aevery nanny I see down until I get to 8....and take a good buck if it works out. After that (8 does....or a combined total of 8 between my son and I and a couple of friends)......I'm buck hunting. I can kill "A" buck.....and last year that was "OK". It's not, any more. I'm hunting 3 or 4 bucks. That's it.

I wish all of you luck. I'll do my best...and I will have fun doing it.

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

I like the changing the avatar to our own buck too.

Man, miss half a day while I was at work last night and took a while to catch up. I can usually peek at the forum through out the night but am training a new guy and didn't want to teach him any bad habits :)

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Isn't this a double negative..Which actually translates into He WILL be surprised if you kill the first buck?

I don't now if it was a compliment or a strategically grammatical slam!

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

I also knew what he meant when he said .....

"I will be surprised if GR8 don't get shut out AGAIN, this year."

Common sense dictates.

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Attachment (1) [/quote] Well, as you guessed, I was joking, but that is still some good stuff. Tell your resident artist thanks.

All the posters coming on here with their homo - we talk to much posts (I almost died laughing
about the 4th one), need to go pester Fraley's team (Team 38) - they are a bunch of hippie artists. :D:D

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Germ,

Bet you got Free Shipping. :D:D:D

You will like those boots. They are goodens.

Today at lunch I'm going buy Scent-Killer stuff on sale at BPS.
My wife was real happy about it until I told her it was for hunting. [8D]

RE: 43- Official Team 43 Thread
 

Gary - I just got my predator stuff in. Went with the Cabela's silent weave w/scentlok. I actually ordered the jacket, figuring that I'd hate it and return it (I'm a real whiner about how my clothes fit - and I have monkey arms, so most jackets don't have long enough sleeves - or they're huge around the gut). Anyway, it all fit perfect. Really nice stuff - you won't be disappointed.

The pants run small though. I'm a 32, but the 34" waistis actually pretty snug (34" inseam). You're pretty short and chubby, so you might needa bigger size. You can just cut thebottom 12-15" off the legs to get the length right. They might even sell Predator capri pants - you might wanna call and check.

Seriously though - you guys have a pretty good team and will havea legit chance to win. Best luck.

Everyone on my team already thinks I'm a weirdo b/c I suggested that we call ourselves "The Rainbow Brites" or "Richard Simmons and the Pink Flamingos." LMAO I think they wanna trade me.
