Yep the big 8 is on the land i can hunt.:DThere are a couple more bucks back in where i hunt that are at least that size but are in such a place where the only way i will see them is if they make a mistake during the rut. Good luck on the 5x5 Patrick!!

Well, I just got done shooting my bow, about 50 arrows. Man I am so bad at judging yardage.:eek:I always thought that my average shots on deer was around 20 yards. But now after shooting in my backyard, I realized that most of my shots are moe like 15 yards or less. Oh well, 10,15,or 20, I am good for all of them. I dont have the room to shoot more than 20 yards, the way it is, at 20 yards, I am standing in my neighbors backyard.[8D]

Only 17 more days before it is time to go sit the ridge for the first time :D

RE: Offical Team 27 Thread
 

I haven't had a chance to scout that much in the last couple weeks, I've come down with a very bad summer cold/sinus and earinfection. I'm on antibiotics so hopefully it will clear this darn thing up soon.......summer colds suck!!![:'(][:'(]

It should be a good year though, I have lots of places to hunt...probably more places than time but I've seen nice deer at all the lands I hunt.

That sucks BigJ...man I hate hunting when I feel like crap!

I usually shoot 30-50 arrows per practice round...usually 10 arrows past when I start to get shaky

9 days till my opener...man I hate to say it for the sake of this contest, but I have my eye on a nice buck still in velvet! I've always wanted to get one sporting the softies ;)

RE: Offical Team 27 Thread
 

I agree Dana, I have always wanted to harvest a buck still in velvet. I dont know if you guys saw my post an the regular bowhunting board aboutr holding still, but I shot my bow today at lunch, and I was all over the target at 15 yards.[:@]I shot lastnight at my 3D buck, and I shot great, so I dont know if I was just tired today or what.
Hope you get over your cold BigJ!!! Beiing sick sucks.[:'(]

Hey, don't worry about the contest.....kill what you want, don't matter if it's big or small do what makes you feel good. If it's a velvet buck you want and you get the chance, let that arrow go!

I always shoot at what strikes my fancy at the moment of truth. Sometimes I've passed on nice bucks because I've had my eye on a slammer, other times I've shot smaller bucks. I pretty much limit myself to 8-points or more and let the smaller ones pass but I've shot smaller bucks in the past and who knows what the future holds.

I might add that just because a buck is an 8-point or bigger doesn't mean it's a slammer either. A couple years ago I saw a small basket 10 point (probably about 100in) come close and I was ready and willing to put an arrow through him when he just wandered off in the wrong direction.[:@]Point being even though he most likely would have grown to be an absolute slammer his rack was so perfectly shaped I would have been happy to take him right then and there.

Shoot what you want, contest or no contest and be happy whether you hold out for P&Y deer or shoot the first spike down the pike, have fun....it's a pastime and a recreation....it SHOULD be fun!

That being said I hope everyone shoots a P&Y slammer and we clean everyone's clock this year!!:)

Thanks....I'm hoping these antibiotics kick in fairly soon......two weeks of this is just about all I can stand!! I HATE not being able to breath through my nose! It's driving me crazy!
