Which team has the best chance at winning?Lots of good teams, but I think all of the following teams have a VERY realistic chance of checking in at least 4 bucks and goingover the 400" mark. Thatwill put them in contention.3, 4, 11, 13, 15, 21, 24, 30, 31, 37, 38, 40 Nobody seems to be talking about Kelly/KY's team -but I think they look very tough. GregH & Troy are teamed-up, butI think they're a victim of circumstance, withno supporting cast to carry the back-end. This contest is about depth, not power hitting.

The nice thing about power hitting is that all it takes is a few on base to run up the score! Hell, we may be able to hit the 400 mark with 3 guys! The rest would be gravey! [:-]

When I was pulling names and teams were starting to come together I saw a lot of contenders even at only 5 per team.
In case anyone wonders I draw a name, this year twildasin was the first drawn, he was number one on number one team, then the second name was drawn and he was number one on the number 2 team and so on. Once I had one name draw for all 43 teams drawn (13 was already made). I drew the number spot for each team and so on til all teams had 10 members.
As I watched the teams grow, I saw some great teams being made.
Poor BTBowhunter was the very last name drawn, thus the last position on team 44.
I have to admit though, when I saw certain names drawn (not mentioning any names greghkellykymichaelhunsuckertalondaleladyforgesile ntassissin) [8D] and so many more, I was like damn, not on my team.

I'll wait to make any predictions till everyone checks in..I do think every team out there has a chance, some better then others..Some hunters are proven and some aren't, but want the chance to prove themselves..that said..GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! BE SAFE!!!!!!GOOD HUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!And always remember to take a kid hunting, because you may need someone to drag your deer out of the woods

The winning team will fly under the radar until well into the season and then WHAM!
The total inches for the winning team will be a whopping 900+.
It's going to be a great year for most.
I got my walker all greased up and ready to go. Leave before sunrise and be in the stand by sunset at the latest...
