Dan, that's a hunting schedule people only dream about. You da man!!Good luck to you this season.

I don't hunt much back home in WI until late season and then its mostly doe hunting. A buck back there has to be at least 3.5, no matter the rack size.
Oh, it will be a challenge, but I'm up to it. Here's my hunting schedule for this fall.......
Now until October 10, Ontario.....a lot of that time will be me behind the camera filming my wife, Jill.
October 14-25ish, Ontario again. Both in front of and behind the camera. This will be a deepwoods hunt that only we have access to.
October 27ish-November 6ish, Pike/Brown cty IL.
November 8-14, back here to Ontario, whether I have a deer or not.
November 16-22 Alberta.
After that, its up in the air. I am trying to get a SK and/or a ND hunt in yet this fall.
As for my guests, I only guide bear hunters. I take a few deer hunters, but mostly friends and family and they're on their own.

Good luck on your quest for a 150 class buck. Are you gonna try and hold to that standard back home in WI as well?
I gotta say with those standards and a camera to contend with you havea full plate.How did your guests do? Must be a bit tougher if they can't take a doe.

Believe me Jeff, I used to dream about it too. I do realize how lucky I am and how great of a wife I have.

Plenty of time for bone Ron so fill that freezer a bit. Sure wish I was hunting but I still have until 10/13 and it's killing me. I bet it was a nice morning in the woods.
The leaves aren't even thinking about dropping and the woods are thick. I have spotted a couple of rubs and a couple of small starter scrapes.The scrapes were small and made half hearted but it's nice to see them this early.
Hung 2 more stands this week as well. I don't really need them but it will be nice to have a couple more fresh stands. A Pal-O-Mine sold me two Loggy Bayou Cheap Seats and a bucket full of screw in steps for $40.00 so I had to put them up. One of them looks and feels really good. It's only a small piece but it's COMPLETLY surrounded by Nature Conservancy and Audubon Property and as legal as can be!!!
Drop something Ron and I will be happy tohelp you drag it out.Good luck boys and girls. I'm thinking we got to much experience on our team to be called rookies and I hope were not hustling the other teams.I hope everyone is hunting!!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
Sorry for the absence guys, been traveling a lot for work. Finally made it up in a stand yesterday. Saw a few younger bucks, no does surprisingly, but still a great day. I still haven't seen anything to get really excited about, but I know it's getting close. Heading to KS on Nov 1st and looking forward to being there just as things are starting to heat up. Always a great time.
