Hello team 27, this is Chris from MI checking in.

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

I am checkin in-N.E. Iowa. My 3rd year in the contest & yet to enter a Buck for my team BUT I have passed at least 30 within 20 yards so, IF I take one, It should be decent.
Start of my 51st year so I better get er done this year. Our season opens Oct. 1st.

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

This will be my second year in the contest, I chipped in 50" last year to the team. I would really like to double that this year:D. I just found out yesterday that I was drawn for the Shiawassee refuge hunt. I am pretty excited, they draw 80 hunters (on a priority point system) and there are about a 1000 applicants for this slot. There are some really nice bucks in there and I would really like to tag one for the team! There is a doe only hunt the week before my hunt (100) hunters and I will be there from Nov. 1st to the 5th, about perfect for pre-rut. The refuge is about 10,000 acres.

Well enough about that, our season is Oct. 1 to Jan. 1 with a couple of weeks off for gun season (Nov.15th - 30th). I will hunt about 70 days either morning, night or both. I hunt 80 acres private land right behind my house and have seen several P&Y bucks, but never connected. I had a dandy at 13yds, but quartering to so I had to pass. I alsotake a late season (December) hunt to the U.P. Got a trip planned for Houston county MN, but that is next year:(:(

I am 35yrs old, been bow hunting since I was 12,married to a very understanding wife and have 3 kids- Hunter 9, Garhet 7, and Hailee 1. I am very lucky to have a wife that lets me hunt whenever I get a chance, takes great care of the kids and lets me spend too much $$ on hunting.

Alright, well we have3 that have checked in so far.

I will be spending most of my season this year hunting public land in central IL. I hunted the same land last year and passed on several real nice bucks. I won't be passing on them this year. The rest of the season will be spent hunting 500 acres of private property in northern West Virginia. Either location is more then capable of producing 150+ class bucks.

Anyone have any suggestions for a team name or captain?

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

Ferg, how ya been bud? hope you have a killer season this year. ;)

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

I have been doing great. Was in WV last weekend putting out all my camera's and getting ready. And spending the rest of the time practicing with my daughter. Soon as she is strong enough to pull 30lbs. she will be more then ready. She is shooting great for 7 years old.

Good luck this year!!

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

No problem. Just glad to hear he is still around. What is it going to be like at your household when your younger brothers team kicks your ass???

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

haha....no. Of course i would be satisfied because i taught him about 99% of what he knows about hunting and archery in particular. So i guess i would be proud:)

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

Glad to hear that you will take it so well. I just hope he is ready to lay the smack down now!!

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

When is everyone's season starting? I don't start till October 1st. Hopefully we will have some points from a few that start mid-September!

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

hey guys

I've got a KS bowhunt that should net us some points along with my home state of Arkansas.

I shoot a recurve and a compound - likely all compound during deer season.

My goal is 2 bucks in Arkansas, 1 buck in KS, got to be a 3 point on one side in Arkansas and I'm shooting for a 150" buck or better in KS.

Should also tag at least one doe, maybe two

Yep, I set my goals high :D

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

That's awsome. Just remember that your first buck is the only one that counts for the contest!!

Only missing 3 more teammates!!!

RE: 27- Official Team 27 thread
 

hey kevster10p checking in it looks like you all have gots some pretty nice deer to hunt this year

RE: 27-Official Team 27 Thread
 

looks like we are going to have a chase in this thing only if the other three team mates check in. my vote is that we have JFergus be are captain and I vote that are team name should be splitbrow.

RE: 27-Official Team 27 Thread
 

Alright, only missing 2 teammates now. Hopefully they will check in soon!!!

I don't know about you guys but I can not wait for October 1st. I told my boss that all my vacation days are already planned for hunting trips so I will be sick on October 1st.

RE: 27-Official Team 27 Thread
 

I just sent an email to each of our missing teammates. Both are Fawns and neither have logged in for amost 2 weeks. Hopefully we will get them to check in! If you see them online be sure to send them over to the thread!!

TEAM 27 RULES!!!!

RE: 27-Official Team 27 Thread
 

okay, here is my goal - I'll tag a 150" P&Y gross score buck, or bigger, Nov 4th - 12th

150" buck - thats mycontribution to TEAM 27 - bank on it :D

I've seen one buck in the 180-190" class where I go. Buddies have shot nontypical into the 200's and typicals into the 160's

I'll be shooting a Q2 when I go out there I imagine, I will not fail this year in my bid to tag a big 9 point thats been evading me for 2 years now. Mass will be in the 6-7" range, 18" wide, 14-16" tines .... he's a good one.

RE: 27-Official Team 27 Thread
 

That's awsome!! Hope the other teamsread this!!!!

RE: 27-Official Team 27 Thread
 

Alright, we have several good team names so far. If anyone has any other name suggestions please post them. How about I post a poll on Thursday evening and the team will vote on a name? And if any of you are good at graphics and can make a team avitar that would be great! I will also post a captains poll on Thursday evening also so be sure to vote!!!
