Sorry guy's for the late responce but I'm here and ready to take'm down. Bow season opens for me next Monday 9/8/08 but I get two bucks for the season. Looking forward to the season. This is also my first time to be in a contest.I've had good luck in the past, and have had my stands up for several months, as well as food plots and mineral licks are in place.

I'm 46 married with 3 kids, 22, 21,and 17. Love the family and love to hunt. I'm a self employed construction worker.I'm from Central North Carolina and have about 400 acers of private land to hunt. Some ofthe newest borders an abandoned apple orchard. Other areas include open hay fields which have clover, and of course lots of hard woods.

As far as team names... We Got Horns,,, Down Range Widow Makers,,,Wall Hangers Delux,,, or even Pump Busters.

Very good. Only 4 more guys left to check in.

Hey just to let you know. Bigfathunter is listed on team 2 also.

I am here. Unfortunately, I did not draw a resident special property permit in the Illinois lottery this year. I signed up prior to lottery results being posted. As a result, my odds of taking a buck with a gun are not good this year. I will be concentrating on bowhunting a newly opened public land here in Illinois. The gun seasons are short here. I will pull a county permit to gun hunt in the Shawnee Forest, if I have not already spent my 2 buck tags during the archery season. We'll just have to see. I strictly trophy hunt. Won't shoot at anything below 140" regardless of weapon.

npaden,
3. Bigfathunter-MO was on your team and on team # 2
I have taken him off of your team, I will replace him as soon as another one signs up.
I am sorry for the mix up.
Thank You,

I kinda like the term "widow maker" we might be able to work with that...Where is everybody...Hiding maybe...

widow makers works for me.

My buddy and I went to our lease today to check stands and do a little scouting. We saw some deer, a couple rubs and a boat load of tracks. The only drawback is it rained the whole time we were there. Really looking forward to this year, it should be a great one...
