After a quick glance at profiles....looks like we have a decent team.

A little background:

Last year was my first year hunting ever and took a nice doe.
Hope this year will be my first buck !

Hey fellas! I live in Lee County, IL and am hoping to take a big buck like the rest of you. I work for a local park district and have access to hunt 600 acres throughout the season. Here's a picture of a buck I just took today. This one is in an adjacent park and hunting is not allowed. Maybe he'll make the trip for the rut!

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

WOW Ollie ! Hopefully he'll wander by you looking for love :D

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Good luck with that one Tim !

I don't have any pics of the ones around here yet, but I know there's a nice 10 and a couple of 8's. I'm also going hunting with some of the guys from here the end of Sept at Higginson-Henry WMA in western KY. I think they saw some nice ones there last year. Unfortunatly for you guys I'm brand new to hunting but I'm giving it my all.

I know not everyone has checked in yet, but maybe start thinking of some team names.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Those are some good lookin buck guys here is one I am thinking of goin after.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I forgot to put in that I just got permission to hunt a 400 acre tract that is owned by a church. they only allow 4 people per year and i got one of the spots with my father inlaw this year. I have a couple of other small pieces of landthough out northwest mo also.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Hey all.
I believe I have met a few of you on some of the forums over the years.
I am 30 and live in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. I am married w/ 2 beautiful daughters (4 & 2). I am an avid bowhunter and live for hunting. I do alot of black bear, turkey, deer, & pheasant hunting. I will be heading to New Brunswick this September for my first moose hunt. I hunt w/ archery and gun gear.
I have been hunting for a dozen or so years, but have been into it hardcore for the past 7. I have not killed any huge bucks. A couple of nice 8s w/ the bow, and many small racked bucks and plenty of doe. I will do my best to put some high points on the board, but must warn you all that I am far from a trophy hunter!
I hunt several small pieces of private land here in MA and lots of state land. I will be deer hunting CT, NY, & MA this season.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

We will need a team name and captain... any volunteers / ideas?

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Great to have you on board Western.

Five of us so far.Not too bad.

Several decent bucks will add up nicely for a total versus one or two giants. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for someone to score big for themselves and the team ;)

I'm not very creative so a team name will have to come from someone else :)

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I am going on a guided hunt to the Finger Lakes Region of NYS this year. Very large piece of heavily managed land. Wants us to shoot 120" plus. I have been there once before and passed on 2 borderline shooters the first AM. Maybe I can get us some decent points on that hunt.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I vote for flstnhd as team captain... he did start the team thread!

We have to come up w/ a creative name... everyone uses "pass through" etc...

Team "Buck Killin' Freaks" or something...

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I like Shaft 'em...

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

OK....I'll be captain. You guys come up with the name.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

By the way... you guys have some dandy buck on those cameras... I hope you stick them!

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Good luck team 1

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Shaft 'em sounds good.

I'll PM or email the team members that haven't checked in by tonight. Once we have everyone we can decide the name.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

What's up fellows. Just checking in. I have a few decent pictures that I'll throw out later. By the way who's the team captain?

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Great to hear from you Matt ! I think I have been nominated to be captain since I started the thread, unless you or anyone else has a great desire to do it:D

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

It's all yours Rob. Thanks

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Looks like a team to me guys. I look forward to getting to know you as the ball gets rolling. I will be hunting NE Kansas bucks. I have spied a couple that I would love to put on the wall. Good luck to each of you. Just remember to enjoy each and every hunt and don't let the contest pressure you. Its just for fun. Chris

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

what part of KS you gonna be around i'm just outside kc mo.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Great point Chris. This is supposed to be fun. 3 more to check in and we'll have a full team. I did go ahead and PM the other guys a bit ago.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I'm hunting Miami county, the Hillsdale area. Bout an hour and a piece from KCMO.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Hey guys Bowman checking in
From New Jersey
i will be hunting a 250 acre lease that butts up to a large national park. Im not sure what im looking at this season but we have found some big sheds.
Im looking forward to a great season and wish all of you luck.
Shaft'em sounds good to me. Glad to be here!

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Welcome Jared !

The more I look at our team, the more I like our chances :D Didn't see us mentioned as a team to watch out for, so maybe we'll just fly under the radar ;) and suprise everyone !

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Im excited to get to know you all and have a great season together.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

So let us get a name going here. I like shaft'em any other suggestions?

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I can't think of anything good. I'm good w/ Shaft 'Em if everyone else is.
I will have some good pics for you guys tomorrow. Off the subject, but my brother and law and I took my 4 year old daughter fishing tonight and she caught a 29" Tiger Muskie in our local lake. We have been fishing it hard for years and have caught alot of pike, but never a muskie. It is legal length and it was hooked really badly. We tried to let it go, but it didn't make it. My B.I.L. does taxidermy, so he is going to mount it for her. She is sooo excited!

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Thats awsome i jsut got back from fishing and i caught a 22 inch chain pickeral on a popper. Great fight! Does anyone know the name of the software people use to make those avatars for the teams?

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Looks like four of us like the shaft 'em name so far. Let's let a couple more chime in before we make it official. I think there's a thread about guys doing avatars that just started. Any ideas for the avatar itself ?

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

I just pm'd a guy on here that happens to live close to me and has invited me to hunt with him about a avatar. (did that make any sence ?) He's a graphic artist and does some pretty nice stuff.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

yea i jsut pm'ed a guy asking for the name of the program id like to play with it a little :D

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

That'd be even better Jared....a home grown avatar.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Talk about mad. I just got bak while ago from checking my trailcam. 72 pics and none of them came out for some reason. I think my mem card fried. oh well at least i know i've got some movement. all those pics was in two days.

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Heart stoppers? Hole punchers?

RE: Official Team 1 Thread
 

Yeah flstnhd, you can't go around asking the other teams for help on the second night of competition. How will that make your team look?:D I'm thinking of selling custom avatars to teams in exchange of 1 or 2 inches of antler this season. Basically "if" anyone on your team can shoot a buck this season just subtract an inch from the total score an let Rob know that you are giving it to team 19. Looks like a strong team you got, let me know how the avatar situation goes and maybe i can help you out free of antler charge. Heres what were working on over at team19, still deciding on the name though.
