Good luck with Rob on your team guys....... He is the hole that finally sunk the ship. :D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I agree, Rob, I like our chances, too.

I'll start the intros. My name's Dennis and I'll be hunting Missouri. Season starts Sept 15th

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Hey Dennis,

I think we have a troll above you...LOL

Ya'll know me, I'm hopefully hunting NC first for does and if a great one walks by...?

Then 5 weeks of PA and then on to IL for a week of the rut.

As soon as we're all signed in we'll elect a capt although I already recommend Captn Mauser. He's led me before on team 36 in 06.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Good luck fellas. You'll need it with Rybo on your team.;)[8D]:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Rob, this is a perfect year for you to break out of the half rack streak :D And IL is the perfect place for you to do it ;) I almost forgot you had a hunt planned for there.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

What a team:D I'm Matt, I'm from Cogan Station, PA, just west of Rob. I'll be doing all of my hunting here in PA, most of which will be right here at home on our 90 acres. I have most of my stands hung, my clover/rye plot is doing well. We just turned over the first few rows around the outside edge today to plant our winter wheat/rye. Deer sightings are down a bit as of right now, but we have a good corn crop, and I have one stand on an inside corner of a finger that splits two corn fields that I hope will produce. However, you guys should be forewarned that I'm in a buck slump[:@]

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

This year we both break slumps Matt. :D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Rob, don't you know you can't stack a team with PA hunters. All they have out there is little bucks and half racks.:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Sheesh we're drawing in the outsiders like flies on you know what. Jealousy is an ugly thing:)[8D]

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Pretty good looking team gents.

A shout out to past team-mates Rob and Mauser.

Just be careful of Robs half racks...:)

And especially careful of Mausers long wind...:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

LOL Shout out received and return teammy.



jmbuck, it is what it is. ;) :D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Must have been a typo, I am sure you meant PITY :D

Welcome Levi. That's an interesting rack in your avatar.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Thanks it was my first ever bowkill and buck. scored like 138 and 5/8. Best thing that ever happened to me. Got me hooked for life

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

That would definately do it. Nice, very nice.

Now, duplicate that this year. ;)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I plan on it. Ive seen a couple good ones this year.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Hey y'all!

I see some familiar faces, and hopefully by the end of this thing, the ones that aren't familiar right now, will be.

I think we are going to have a pretty hi traffic thread. Between ourselves & the wannabes coming in here to harass us, it'll jack up the post count

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Rybo, I must have missed your name on the list! Good stuff.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Hey rybo, welcome brother. Looking forward to a great season.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Once more people check in we can get a better idea on what we want for a team name, but go ahead and kick around some ideas. I can make us an avatar when we settle on a name.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Gotcha. Im up near St. Louis.

Nice Buck!! I didnt know they grew them that big down there ;).

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Thanks. There r actually some biggins hangen around here.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Man what a loaded team! You guys may just be a solid 2nd place finisher! ;)

Have fun and Good Luck this season!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

YES!!! i LOVE this team already!! got a great bunch and a bunch of guys already scared and sneaking into our thread to smack talk!! i love it!!

my name is Devin...this is my 3rd year bowhunting...got my first bowkill last year..a...60? something incher? i cant remember...but im hooked...im 21 and in college right now..

Duke michaels is 100% dead on...my posts get long winded but i can type like 400 words a minute :D

i will forewarn, i got a kinda hectic schedule this semester and in a LE academy and this semester is all book work....dont fret..i say this everywhere and i get more time to hunt than most people...but just warning ya'll...believe me the last thing i wanna do is miss a day of hunting, but school takes priority..ya'll understand...but, i got tuesday thursdays and saturdays off plus every evening...chances are great i get a goooood bit of stand time...

i just got back from working a season at Cape Cod National Seashore as the park dispatcher....farmer friend here at home says they been seeing an absolute PIG...guess where he is ALWAYS seen?? yep! on my honey hole hill!! and, we got corn up tight to my favorite rutt stand which will make it even better...needless to say im pumped!

i see Rob already gave a vote to me as captain...i dont mind being captain...but not opposed to letting someone else take the duty...and we need an awesome name for the team as well as a killer avatar so let the ideas flow....its always easier to come up with the name first and design the avatar around that...i'll be thinking as much as possible...kinda hard because in the years ive been watching the contests ive seen just about every name there is...so think original!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

oh man...bluetickhunter....looks like i got a fellow coonhunter!!! awesome! i love this team more than i did 2 minutes ago!!! lol dont know how i missed that the first time i read the list!!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Welcome Mauser. Sounds like you're still going to manage some good stand time, bud. You're a good one to have on here. I read Team 36's thread more than my own in 06.:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Good luck team 15 :)

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Well let me make my official introduction for those who don’t know me.
Name’s Ryan, from the suburbs of Pittsburgh (other end of the city from Mauser). I’m 34 and have been bowhunting 20+ years. I’m an engineer (NOT the train driving type). I’ve been in this contest every year and my teams have always finished well, even won it one year. The best part about the contest is hanging out and “meeting” new people. Besides deer I am relatively new to being addicted to turkey hunting (5-6 years). I have a trip to Idaho for elk in a few weeks that I am completely pumped for.
I’ll have buck tags for Idaho, Ohio & PA. I should be able to put one down this year. I’ll have a little less time to hunt than I am used to, but I’ll still have a lot of time, when it’s the right time.

As far as names & captains, looks like we’ve got plenty of “leadership” capabilities on this team, I’m fine with letting the young guy handle it. And after 4 seasons of contests, I’m not sure I’m creative enough to come up with an original name. Although I hear “Deer Decapitators” is still available.


So let’s all get out there, hunt hard, have fun and come home safe at the end of every hunt.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Cougar Mag reporting in. I am really pumped and feel very fortunate to be on this team. I'll nominate Rob for Captain, but Mauser is fine by me.:)

Gotta let you all know that I am behind in practically everything going into this season. Too much overtime and slight shoulder injury has limited my shooting but I have been building up my strength and will be ready to go by the start of the season. I don't hit it real hard until the weather starts cooling off though I occasionally will go in the early season. I'll be hunting the same ground here in Illinois again plus I may hunt on my family's farm over in Indiana.

Good luck to all, have a safe and successful season.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Impressive looking team you all have here!! You should do very well.;)

Good luck!

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

I smell a little "team stacking".... That's okay, you have the half rack smacker on your team.:D

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

But Rob's half racks are bigger than some's full racks.;) I gotta feeling he is going to nail something huge this season.

RE: Official Team 15 Thread
 

Team stacking with PA guys???? Come on.
Rob may be proud of our state, but he ain’t dumb. Besides, this group of PA guys didn’t exactly put up the inches last year.
