I didn't mention Rob, hmmmmm, Cougar dis's his own teammate and then tries to cover it up in the same sentence.....:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I guess I could have used a better choice of words:eek:. Not dissin him, just promoting him. His recent bucks have a lot of character and to be honest I haven't done much the last few years. So its his year and my year to shine:D. Of course with the lineup we have I feel very good about our chances!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Sweet... Hey Guys... I like the team! It's good to see some familiar faces. I'm anxious to see what our team can do!... seems like season can't get here fast enough

A little about me... My name is Joey & i'm 26. The biggest aspect of my hunting season this fall will me my close proximaty to my hunting areas. For the past 7 years I've been living 2.5 - 3 hrs away... but after my wife & I moved, we're now 10-25 minutes away. So it'll open up a lot of time for us to hunt. I plan on hunting every weekend, and most of the weekdays (evenings), until I can get a buck.

So far i've been seeing an excellent crop of bucks... without about a dozen bucks in the 120-170 range on camera. There are some good crops planted on the key fields I hunt, so I'm pretty stoked for season!

man did i miss this!!

ughhhh 6 weeks to go yet....thats alright...its still 85+ degrees out...these next 6 weeks will fly for me...

im goin to fling some arrows....i got a little catchin up to do after being on vacation...err...i mean working at cape cod all summer :D (those 45" Decapitators are fussy about flight ;))

ya'll be nice to the wannabes TRYING to smack talk on us....i already smell fear...i think we already are winning with post count!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

If nothing else, this team is going to have one hell of a time busting chops and telling stories in our thread. We are going to have so much traffic we are going to need a stop light.

Joey,
Glad to hear the good news about being close to your spots, that’s got to help a ton.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Welcome aboard Joey. I remember some of your past deer...that one in the avatar is an absolute stud!


Ryan, what engineering field are you in?

Mauser, are you hunting in or around your new house, or are you sticking to your old properties this year? I remember you made mention of finding some good sign near your new house last year.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I'm actually pulling for Rybo to kill a good one. Seems like forever since we've seen the boonie hat.[8D]:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

man i couldnt imagine having to travely 2.5-3hrs to hunt....heck, my new house we moved to during the RUTT last season, i can walk out my back door and hunt...will do so a time or 2 though the area somewhat stinks....between kids, atvs and dirtbikes, and 100 other "hunters" its rough...but available...man i couldnt imagine that drive....i will rarely drive over an hour to a coon hunting competition!


joey...how bout one like the one in your avatar??? i remember that bad boy....that'll carry my 60"er well if im so lucky :D hopefully the biggun comes by and i can let the air outta him first coz i have a feeling im still trigger happy...though id LIKE to hold out for a little nicer buck than barely legal....for my own sake....you can learn more from hunting than shooting the first legal buck....i KNOW that...chances are 50/50...if i know i'll have solid hunting time, i may hold out a bit...we'll see....i dont know till im at full draw

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

BTW this is the shortest post mauser will have this year:D Be prepared to read;)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Lol, that's why the man gets my nod for captain as well;)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

CM, appreciate the nom but this guy is way too busy with it all to stand up as capt, that's why our mauser was the fearless leader of Bros b4 does! I say it's a done deal and captn mauser is again, captn mauser!

Joey, glad you check in and your prospects sound amazing.

Germ, AF H....lol I couldn't have hand picked a better team and that's a comp to all my team mates.

If nothing else, we're going to have a blast!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

And we have 8 of 10 checked in...captn, PM our last two.;)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Matt,
My degree is in chemical, but I’ve dabbled in various industries. Circuitboards, water treatment, aluminum & steel industry, power plants.
It pays the bills, but I don’t find it very interesting anymore.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Wow, impressive. I have a friend who graduated from Bucknell with a Chemical Engineering degree. He went to law school though afterwards.

Well, guys, I had three days of inservice this week, and now two days off, so I'm going to go shoot some, and probably plant my rye/winter wheat.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Good luck girls. Tell Ryan to remember his treestand straps, and keep him away from the Guinness on Friday nights.

Seriously, you guys have a great team with a lot of active members. That's clutch.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Good luck this season bud! We may not be on the same team but I'm still pulling for you.

BTW Team 15, this guy has some monsters around him and he knows how to hunt them. Y'all are lucky to have him.

Rob, you seem to have picked yourself a good teamwinky, winky

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

haha Germ and DM are right...i'll try to keep it more to the point this year...but i dont make promises:D


Matt, yes, i found a HECK of a rubline last year behind my new house...ive been hunting back there for years...well, alot of walking around/scouting before i could hunt alone(my old house...2 houses back... was 2 blocks away from the same set of woods just a different end of the wood lot..) killed my first longbeard back there...i bow hunted it once or twice last season...got permission to hunt in an orchard across the road from me but they seem to be using that at night heavy...the woods got a pile of guys that hunt it after work and such...the rubs i found were HUGE and the rubline was long...it was almost stupid how easy i could follow the rubline...they werent close together....it was just classic big buck movement...cutting corners...cutting the point...staying on the edge of the thickets...lead to the next ditch over from mine which is nasty thick...thats his bedding...thing that throws me off in PA is ANYTHING and EVERYthing is a food source...dont know that i'll devote a ton f time back there...i know a couple crews pushed it out in rifle season....we could be dead...time will tell...i coon hunted back there this winter and didnt find any tracks that turned my head like his should have...but if im busy a day durning the rutt and got a morning or evening to hunt, i got stand sites i can be in 10 minutes or so for a quicky and still have an alright chance of seeing something...


im shooting pretty well for not shooting in about 4 months...got all my gear out...walked outside...got myself as excited as i could picturing a big boy in the woods...drew...told myself i had 1 arrow...sent it home...beautiful 20yd shot...put the bow down and came inside for 10 minutes...then went and proceeded to shoot for a bit...still tire out quick but i'll get there...no fear...i dont shoot over 25 in the woods...got no fear about a 25yd shot even right NOW...let alone in a couple weeks when im really on

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

im already on it Rob! both seem to be somewhat active members though they dont have high post counts...i have no fear...i'll let them both know we started the games!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Mauser,
Youget me out of breath just READING your posts. ;)
Wait that may not have sounded right. [&:]
You know what I mean.
I know beaver co is a large place, but how far are you from shippingport & midland? I only ask because I go there for work occasionally, and its about the only time I ever am in Beaver co.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Alright Matt. Good luck.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Must be a feeling I have, but after logging on this morning and finding out what team I was on........had an urge and ran after supplies at the store. Here it is in August and I just had to make some deer chilli after finding some deer burger still in the freezer. Its going to be a great season I tell ya!;)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Don't change orhold outfor the contest. Shoot what you normally would. A dead 100" buck scores more points than an unfilled tag waiting on a 150"

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Get used to that. ;) :D

huntingson, winky winky.

And welcome Matt (Bluetickhunter)....alright. I have to apologize, I don't really know you but your gonna fit right in, especially with a 140" or 150" :D.

And I agree with rybo, 10 for 10 will win this. Shoot what makes you happy, not for the contest. :)


Cougar, we can smell what your cooking. [8D]

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Welcome Matt! Glad to have you a part of the team

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Well we're only missing one member, I'd suppose we should start with name elections. We'll get a jump on everyone else before they are taken.

All except that black little pony team, never liked that name anyway. [8D] ;) ;) j/k/k

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I just realized we have the Gold & Bronze medalists from the NE GTG, a future LEO/game warden, a guy who makes his own hunting videos, a school teacher, and the guy who runs the broad success thread…..We are impressive. Sorry that I don’t know more about the other guys to include their fine qualities in our resume. Hopefully that will change soon. :D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Lol, My Little Pony (that should be their new name);)

Just an update. Decided to wait on the planting today after talking it over with my dad. We have the sections raked and turned over, but we're waiting for some potential rain in the future forecast to time our planting. We also located a nice 26lb bag of Whitetail Institute Winter Pea/Brassica mix we're going to put down with some winter wheat mixed in. I did manage to make up a new drag, though since we don't have a soil compacter. So when it's all said and done (assuming we get ample rainfall), I should have a nice .75+ acre plot with clover/rye in the middle, and winter wheat, peas, and brassicas along the outside. That should provide enough fall/early winter forage.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I am our most recent contest champion as a proud member of the Autumn Assassins. (And a current LEO officer)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Cool, I left that part out for me too. We have 2 former CHAMPS on here, & a current LEO. We just keep getting better & better.:D
I need to slow down, next thing you know I’ll be trash talking along the lines of quik & buckeye. [8D]

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Rybo~~ Thanks!! But hey if your scared just say your scared!! Haha Good Luck!!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Rybo go take your rock and pound sand with it[>:]:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I'm going to prominently place my rock in the scorecard picture with my buck this fall. [8D]

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Germ, if you were on the team, I wouldn't have to be the lone lefty. That reminds me...any of you other guys lefties?

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I think drhntr178is a lefty;)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Hey Rob due to all the rain this past spring most bucks in IL now are spikes buddy.
You might want to hunt FL.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Tony...lol, your avatar picture looks a lot like the "World's Strongest Redneck" from Country Fried Videos. Btw, all the big bucks are in PA anyways, Rob's just going there for warmups;)
