Hey all, as you check in post any info you want, also tease us w/ some good trail cam pics:

Obviously, my name is Ed. I just turned 26 and I'm an engineer, I'm married w/ one daughter and another daughter due in Jan! We're excited!!! I do most of my hunting in MD, but usually spend a week or two in VA, actually last season my contest entry was shot in VA.

I'll post some trail cam pics later this week, right now the biggest I have on camera is about a 110-115" 9 pt. Probably not a shooter, unless I could get him in full velvet.... But I know there are bigger ones out there, just havent had my cam up long yet.

Ten is a nice number, we outta be able to come up w/ some good names, heres a few off the top of my head:

Perfect 10
Team Big Ten
Ten White Horses
The Dark Hosses :happy0157:

Anyway throw a bunch out there and we'll vote on some...

dmen checking in, i will be hunting in maine and have a trip to illinois in nov

crenth checking in....Hunting in Southern Illinois.....Clinton & Washington County and maybe some public parks too

I'm 24 and will be getting married on October 3rd so my first hunt will be October 13th, the day after I get back from my honeymoon. I'm also getting ready to start building a house. It's my first year in this so I'm pretty excited.

Hey guys, I've updated the list so far, any thoughts for names?

FSH started another thread, I'll ask either him or Rob to delete it....

Hey Ed - I tried to delete my "10" thread - anyway I edited it to noise and will get Rob to finish it.

I am in So MD and have some good prospects this year (which didn't help me last year).

Good luck everyone!

-fsh

Thanks Tim....good luck to you guys as well! Mabye one of these years we'll get on the same team! :biggrin:



Hey guys....regarding a name, I do kinda like "The Perfect 10".... maybe its the deer we're gonna get...maybe its us! :rock:Good suggestion Ed!

I'll be hunting in both WV and VA this year as usual. We don't have too many big bucks where I hunt. We have alot of deer and a good one is in the 100" -110" range, and sometimes you bump into one a little bigger. I was after one last year around 115"....saw him the last day of early archery right at dark (too far for a shot). Never saw him again until the very last day of the season in Jan. He came right in around 4pm....and stood there at 25yds for 15 minutes. I could have whacked him a hundred times - but he had shed both horns already. :(

At least I know he made it through the season. If he avoided the roadhunters and cars, hopefully I'll get a chance at him. He traveled the exact same trail both times I saw him....and I have a stand waiting :biggrin:

I haven't had much time to scout this year yet. My son is 11 and very into sports...it consumes alot of our time. We just finished all star travel baseball 2 weeks ago, and this week football started. I did get him a new bow (Diamond Razor Edge) and so we are gonna try to get him bowhunting this year hopefully. Looking forward to a good season hopefully....and I pray I can connect with a nice buck this year with my bow. I won't shoot a small one, so most of the time I end up just getting does. Hopefully this year things are gonna change! :biggrin:

Good luck everyone....looks like we have a decent team shaping up - I know alot of you by name from over the years, lets have a good showing!


God Bless

Hey guys just checking in sorry it took awhile before I got checked in. My name is William and I live and hunt in Indiana. I am 28 years old married and have 2 daughters and a 3 child on the way. I have not been on the site for awhile but was in the first contest on the winning team. That year I shot a pretty nice one scored 138 and 3/8 and it was a perfect ten point. I am an Indiana State Trooper by trade so sometimes I don't get to get on the computer as much as I would like but I am excited to get to know the rest of you and looking forward to a great season. I also shot a pretty nice one last year scored 125 and was a pretty nice 8 point. I will be on just about everyday to check in good luck to all this season.

William

How about:

The Chosen 10
The Dime Squad
Team Dime Time
The Enligh"Ten"ed Bunch
The "Ten"acious Gang (Batch, Pack, Guild)
The Tenth Degree
The Tenth Dimension

Good suggestions crenth.
The Dime Squad works for me. I also like Perfect 10.

How about "The 10'ers" just so I can say I tried to contribute, lol...

-fsh

Glad to see almost all checked in!

Wow you guys check in fast! Ed, good luck this year since we gave it a good one last year!

So I have an idea which is funny but also kind of cool. We should call ourselves THE NIMROD'S. Look it up and it means skillful hunter. or THE GREAT NIMROD'S, THE ILLUSTRIOUS NIMROD'S, etc.

Ed - Have you pm'd turkish621?

-fsh

I'm here!
Sorry for the delay. I had ordered a new computer online and it took forever getting to me.
About me, I am 28, married with a 3 month old son. I live in MN and unfortunatley hunt public land, but I do plan on hitting it early and often.

For the name, how about incorporating the Roman numeral for ten, X in it? Or is that too sutle to pick up on?

How about "The X Factor"

How about, "X, it's a Roman thing"

How about "The X Hunters"
-fsh

Hey guys I don't have much input as far as the name goes. I am really looking forward for the season to open here I can't wait to get after it and put one on the ground. The season starts Oct. 1st here when does the season open for everyone else? I am looking forward to getting to know everyone on the team a bit better.

William

Pick a name Ed and I'll go with it.

Some of my background: I am 59 (retired engineer, US Navy R&D) and have been bowhunting 45 yrs. I enjoy bowhunting, haven't gun-hunted deer for 35 yrs. I'll be able to start 8 Sept, a week ahead of the regular MD bowseason because the local Navy Base got an exception from MD DNR to extend their season. I also have a few farms to hunt where I'm the only bowhunter; a decent buck around here is in the 120 to 150 class.

-fsh

October 1st for me

fsh - If you need a bowhunting buddy on one those farms you hunt a lone let me know :wink: I'm only a little over an hr away! Or if you wanted to meet up to hunt the Navy base (if its open to public)....


As far as names, I kinda like the Nimrod idea...

Hey all... sorry I haven't been around for a few days, was down on the water crabbing fri & sat, and there's no internet there...

Here's the two deer i killed last year, the smaller one was from VA and the bigger from MD... They are both at my minimum size ~115", and this year I wont shoot one unless he's bigger... I'm gonna hold myself to a 125-130" min. Got plenty of does to work on for the freezer.

I'll be checking my trail cam one night this week, I'll be sure to post anything good!

what is the Nimrod idea?

Hunting opens in MN on the 19th of Sept. This will be my first year bowhunting, but I have been rifle hunting for 16 years. Trying to get as much range time as I can.

Hey guys the nimrod idea is fine with me.

Ed looks like you got a couple of nice ones last year. I am the same way as you I am looking for one that is 125" or bigger plenty of does to kill.

I don't know if I have any good pictures of the one I killed last year or not I will check and see and try to post a picture if I can rember how.

William

I like either The Perfect 10 or The X Factor

I nominate Ed for captain too!

Here's mine from last year. My first bow buck and it was on public ground. Shot it with 45 minutes left in the SEASON.

great buck crenth!

what a beauty! maybe take some wet wipes with ya next time :)

Ok, so I've narrowed it down to 3 names, lets all vote (vote totals there):

1. Team X Factor - 5
2. Ten Nimrods - 0
3. The Perfect Ten - 1


Also, I'll volunteer to be captain unless anyone else wants it, just let me know, I tend to have more luck when I'm not a captain :)

My first choice is: The Perfect Ten

Nice Buck Crenth!

Dang nice....and he came with a platter of lung to boot. LOL, what did you use a missile? I'm sure the picture police jumped all over you about that one. Great deer, hopefully you can tag another one this year!

I vote for Team X Factor.

Crenth that is a nice looking buck hope we all get one like that this year or bigger.
