We will let everyone get checked in and pick a captain and a name, last year kydeerhunter made an avatar for us, maybe we can get her to do another, just an idea..

OK, I will be hunting Ill, MO, KS....I hunt with a Mathews bow...Live in ILL..about 30 miles north of St.Louis,Mo..I hunt here and in Pike co. ILL and a couple of farms in Pike co.MO..

Melsheeba checkin, rackluster are you going to be are team captain since you made the effort to get this thread started?

i definitely will not be the team captain. i'm on this board way too sporadically to have any responsibility

i live just nw of minneapolis. i own 40 acres near lake mille lacs (central MN). i believe this is my 12th year bow hunting. i usually get 2-3 deer a year. nice bucks are REALLY few and far between around here. I've been pretty lucky in that I've shot 3 of the last 5 i've seen. although last year I barely got a glimpse of a nice buck.

hopefully, this year will be better. i have trail cam pics of 5 bucks that I would shoot. unfortunately 4 were about 50 yards from some very heavily hunted public land. total this year, I have pictures of at least 12 different bucks. so, things are a bit more promising then last year (only pics of 2 nice bucks all year long).

I'm also hunting bear this year - it starts on 9/1. can't wait!!

oh, i also shoot a mathews. just got a dxt, had a q2 before that...

Alright, I will be huntingin Coleman county Tx andin Hopkins county as well. Will defiantly be hunting up in Oklahoma near the little town of Antlers. I have yet to shoot a buck with my bow. It's not like I haven't had the chance, I just haven't connected. Oh, and I missed a good buck last year[:@]. Anyway, I shoot a PSE Baby-G, and I've been bow hunting for about 10 years now

Hunting in the state of Michigan and have been bowhunting for 11 years. I shoot a Diamond Rapture

Sounds like we have a really good team going so far.. Sounds like it is going to be a good year for you Rackluster and bigjim12..

Im ready to stick a big one this year!! Checking in on the winning team!! Good luck guys and let the smack talk begin!!!!
