I'll volunteer for team captain.:D

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

You've got my vote!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Thanks!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Whats up guys. Just stopping by to see where we stand. I see you guys liked the "Whack 'em & Track 'em" team name idea......kinda has a ring to it. Cant wait to see the avatar they come up with. Have any of you guys been in this contest before? If so....my vote may be for you. It would be a good idea to have a captain that has some experience, along with the time to spend here. I would suggest that all captain nominations should be in before Tuesday night so that we can settle this then.....the sooner the better. I myself would love to be captain, but I'm new here to this site as you can see. Lets see what team "Whack 'em & Track 'em" has to say!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Couldn't agree more dmounts. Have been in other contests on other boards...but not HNI's. Our captain should be someone who can devote the time for updates to our posts and to keep everyone on the team in check. I feel it should also be someone who is knowledgable in scoring antlers in case a member has any problems or questions. I unfortunately don't have the time to devote every night to the internet or I would volunteer. I'm sure the members will vote whoever is the most "competent" captain. Above all, let's have fun and win this contest!!!!!!!:)

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Based on what I'm seeing....its looks like the guys that have been around here the most are gplants and bknarrow1970. Its up to you guys but thats where I stand right now if you two are up for it.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

My vote will go to Greg (gplant) if he has the time and accepts.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I agree with ya'll. I'm too new to be the capt. Plus I've never been in this contest. I love talkin junk though!! I think gplant is away from his computer till tuesday if my memory serves me right.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I vote for: gplant

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

If gplant wants to do it fine by me, he is prob more familiar with the contest - hadn't heard anything about the avatar as of yet and still looks like a few need to show up from the team- just talked to a fellow that hunts our land said they are seeing bucks bucks and more bucks so should be a good year as long as the temps cool off

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

hey gplants....so would you be interested in being the captain? Let us know man.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Whats up? Thanks for the votes but with the home computer down and 14 hour work days it will be ruff. I too have never been in a online contest. When it comes to computers Im a dumb a$$ but I'll help out if I can.So who ever has the time would be best for this.As far as scoring goes just go to the P&Y site and it should be on there.You should learn it as it will help you to score a buck on the hoof. Score a couple racks you allready have and you will have a good idea at a glance if that is the buck you want.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I'm suprised that not all of our team members have checked in yet. I'm not going to wait around though...my season opens Saturday!!!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

YeaIm suprisedto!! We will have to get with Rob to see if we can get some alternates.Lets say by 3:00 PM today.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Morning guys hope the weekend was good to you- have we decided captain yet - I am off and on a lot but can be up to a week before I check in at times - I can do it if you would like but not sure what the requirements are ? just let me know and good idea with the 3pm cutoff today Gary

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Gary, perhaps you should try elkhntr as well I have not heard anything back on an avatar and the name has been sttled correct

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Names ok with me so that part is taken care of. I will get ahold of elk to see if he can do it.-GREG

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

3 pm today...agreed

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

We got 2 request's in for a avatar and he looks like he is tring to catch up so I dont want to get pushy and get put to the back of the list. Give him a couple days.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Good deal - Thanks G

Where you hunting this Sat, NC.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I emailed Elk as well so yeah, we should leave him be.

I'll be inatree near Umstead park on Sat. How about u?

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Seen a real wide 8pt this weekend on my new lease so I thinkIm going after this one on the 1st week. I spent every night and morning this weekend watching him and he seem's to take the same enterance into the field so I hope he keeps it up for a couple more weeks.He will score well !!!!!!!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Nice!! Any pics?

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

No pics. Hell I would have to ask one of my kids how to put pics on here.Like I said Im a idiot when it comes to computers. Plus I was a long ways from this deer. I use a spotting scope and play the wind when I scout.I think I will get a trail cam soon.But the kids will have to show me how it works to I'll bet.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Yeah I've been putting off getting a trail cam. I might get one today...who know. I know I've got good deer but I'd like to see some pics from this year. Plus I know everyone on this site loves good deer pics!!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I will try a sneak to the east coast if possibe, talk to a friend of mine said they are seeing more bucks than ever - only problem a 15- 16 inch buck is a goodun' for the area but see what happens

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

A 15 - 16 in buck is good enough. How many guys on here do you think will shot a 120 or better.FEW!! If you want it shoot it !!!! No min's here.Im manageing my land now and have been for a few years and its showing that it works.I've shot a lot of small rack deer over the years thats all we ever seen.And if gun season gets close and Im buckless I'll shoot another small rack. Its not all about the bone but it is a nice plus!!!:D

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I was hoping that a buddy of mine was going to be able to draw a tag for me in Illinois but they sold them all out. He has HUGE deer on his 400 acres in Skylar Co. wich is right beside the famous Pike county. He shoots 150" 8 pointers as cull bucks on his land!! I also will probably go to Texas in December and last year I killed about a 130" 8 pt out there. I'm gonna try and shoot does until "Mr. Right" comes along. But have no fear, we shall see some horn hit the dirt!!!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Thats what I like to hear!!!!!:)Its total inches for all so every inch counts.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I just sent out e-mails to the no shows. Do you want to give them another day or what????

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

How many are we short from checking in?

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

3 I think.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Did you email Rob?

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

I just sent a pm to Rob so lets see what he say's.

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Rob said to give them some time. Im sure they will show up.I HOPE!!!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
 

Yeah me too. Although I know there are a bunch of people chomping at the bit to get on a team. I'm just glad we were able to get in. I wouldn't want to be outside looking in right now and miss all the fun!!!

RE: 48-Official Team 48 Thread
