Hey guys, I'm here and ready to go 3 for 3 inthiscontest.

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

What's up ladies? Thought I'd check in. I won't be on a whole lot over the next week or so, as I've got bear hunters in camp.

Looking forward to a great season!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

I'm going to add some serious inches to our total. This will be my yearin Alberta.;)Good luck guys!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Jeff, make sure you don't shoot something in PA first! [8D]

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Checking in kids...team looks great. Some familiar faces. Should be a great season and I'm looking forward to it.

Kelly

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

I think you guys are the most overlooked team in this contest. Lots of great hunters here. T3 killed an absolute slammer a couple years ago. Chris, Dan, EI, Kelly - all $$$ in the bank. Good luck fellas!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Y'all need to remember, Early is pretty much senile due to his age. So, when he talks about serious inches, he's actually speaking about getting a spike instead of a button buck.

THIS HAS BEEN A TEAM 40 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT.

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

That's GOOOD Mark!I'll have to ponder that one for a while.:D:D:D

RE: Official Team 40 Thread

"just happy to be here"..rta47..terry

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Well, I am finally home, so I thought I'd check in again.

My name is Kelly and have been on the site since 2000, if memory serves, about the time I began bowhunting. I live and mainly hunt in Kentucky, but spend at least one week per year in Kansas. I've been pretty lucky in my hunting career and have some awesome land to hunt in both states. Who knows what the year will hold, but I'm definitely looking forward to the season. I'm off to CO for an elk/bear hunt in early September, which is a first for me since I'll miss the opener of deer season in Kentucky.

I recognize most of you guys, but thought it would be nice to give us a brief introduction. Actually I think Little Indian and I were on the same team last year. I think we have a great team and believe we may have a great run. Nonetheless, i always enjoy sharing the season with everyone on here. So, that's me. Next.

Kelly

Oh yeah, I nominate Early In for captain.

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Thanks Kelly, I'm flattered. I think Dan is a better candidate though. Having someone on our team who's going to be hunting Kansasfor a weekboost's our chances up big time!;):D

Hey guys, my name is Greg and i'm just checking in. I'm still fairly new to huntingnet (just a fork horn afterall, haha) and I must admit this is my first time in the bow hunting contest so i'm still a little unsure how it all works. That being said, I do love bowhunting and i love talking to other ppl who do too so i think this should be fun.

As a little introduction I am from upstate NY, grew up on a dairy farm learning how to hunt from my old man and uncles. Still do the majority of my hunting in upstate NY on about five hundred acres my family leases. I'm not going to lie, our place isn't Pike County, Ill. or anything, but we have taken a couple decent bucks off it. A few years ago my older half brother took a nine point that just missed pope and young and last year some guys took a real nice ten point just a few hundred yards from one of my stands. Either way i'll have my fingers crossed. Right now i'm currently going into my third and final year of law school and living in Springfield, Massachusetts, and when i'm not in school i'm working for a small law firm in Hartford, Connecticut. I was thinking about maybe getting a non-resident hunting license for Connecticut because their bow season opens September 15th, but I'm not sure yet. Right now I'm shooting a new Bear Truth that my girlfriend got me this past Christmas, so needless to say i'm iching take its cherry on a decent buck this fall. So that's about it, look forward to talking to you guys some more, and here's to wackin' em and stackin' em this year!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

I guess I could tell a little more about myself for those who don't know me.

My name is Dan, of course, and grew up in WI and am 31. For 7 months of the year, April-October, I live in Ontario where I own and operate a bear hunting and fishing resort with my wife Jill and our 1.5 yr old son Wyatt. This year I will be hunting here in Ontario, Illinois (Pike & Brown Counties), WI, Alberta (may be a Bow, ML or Rifle hunt, I'll decide then), and possibly ND and Saskatchewan. All of my hunts will be filmed for next year's release of Rut Junkie's second video. It'll be a busy fall.

Other than that, there isn't much more to know about me.

As for captain, I also nominate Jeff.....I respectfully decline, as I was a captain last year. Plus, with traveling as much as I will be this fall, there will be periods where I won't be online for quite some time.

Hey guys my name is Chris. I live in west cental IL and hunt in Scott county which is only seperated from pike county by the Illinois river. I am originally from WV but moved to IL in 2003. My father-in-law owns the 200 acre farm that I hunt. I'm 29 years old and have been bowhunting for about 15 years. This makes my third year in the contest and have been lucky enough to score some decent bucks both years. I look forward to getting to know you guys. This should be a fun season. I toonominate one of youother guys for team captain. I have been the captain of my team for the last two years, just don't have as much time as I used to. Good luck guys and lets put some bone on the ground.

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Thanks Fran. Hopefully my bow season goes a hell of a lot better than last years! I've got a lot more time this year, so look out Little Ponies.

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Hay Fellers my name is Ron i'm 47yrs old and live in Southern Indiana along the Ohio river Bottoms were I have 75 acres , I have 4 kids 2 Boys & 2 Girls , I have been bowhunting ever sence I was 14. I am a retired Taxidermist and just shut down my Archery/Muzzleloader Shop 2 yrs ago. So i guess I'm semi retiered I pittle around with Beef cattle & Hogs also Dariy Goats :) I hope I will contributea nice buckto our teams total points as we have some really super deer here . I like to keep a low profile so the only thing I can say is I think it's about time to open up a CAN of WOOP A-- on these other teams.

Just a little about me. My name's Jeff, and I'm an old man.;) Just turned 51 about a week ago.[:@]I live in the suburbs of Phila. I'm an arborist/climber (tree man)by trade.I'm single with no children. That's how I can do all the hunting and fishing that I do. I love hunting in the Edmonton Bow Zone, Alberta. I'm sure you'll hear more than enough about that later in Nov.:D:DLet's goTEAM 40!!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Jeff, you hunt the Bow Zone? [8D]:D

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Step away for a few and mutiny. I'll be happy to sign in...but keep in mind I'm a team kinda guy, so as things roll out and since we're all busy, if something needs attention, give me a heads up or something.

Dan, I got your PM and am checking in. Sorry to be one of the last but I have been busy.

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

No worries LI! Good to have you on the team!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

Let's throw some names out there...

I'm thinking something that states that we are overlooked and stacked with talent. Hard to be original at this point in the contest's history.

RE: Official Team 40 Thread

Welcome to the party t3......now don't be a stranger!

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

ive been seein two pretty good ones in the last month... im guessin one is in the 140-150 class and the other one about 130 or so... u guys got ne good ens scouted out

RE: Official Team 40 Thread
 

well I went out to day to do 1 finall scouting trip as I donot like to disturb the deer for atleast a month befor our opener . this mornig I went to one of my honey holes and saw 6 very larg does along with 5 yearlings in one small group, and about 9:45 am I cout a movement to my right in the fence row boardering a corn field and saw 2 bucks moveing back twords the beding area 1 was a small 8 basket rack about 12 /13" wide and the other was one had watched last year but let him go for 1 more yr. This year he is a very nice 10 about 2/3" past his ears on ea. side. but his tine lenghth is not great I'd say he may go 130 - 135 at the most ! planning on going in the morning to a differant spot to see if the big boys are moveing in there yet. I found the spot last yr. while Squirral hunting and waled up on 2 that would go 160 to 175 easy. + numerous other super nice bucks and GIANT DOES to . Will let you guys know what I find and see. :)

Ron
