Hey guys! I'm sorry I totally forgot I signed up for rifle. I'm mostly a bowhunter but I do participate in the rifle portion here in NW Mo.

welcome louddrummer and safe hunting

Don

Don, my cousins live in Council Bluffs. By chance you know Frank and Kristen Hayes?

Don't recognize the names, what part of CB do the live in I'm down in Lake Manawa.

Don

Looks like the only two people we haven't heard from are sumpdriver and mconwa951.

Don :action-smiley-099:

They haven't replied to my PMs. Ask for alternates.

I wish you had a put this in the MIA post.
I didn't know you needed any alternates.

There's a posting by me on page three of the Teams Please Post Your MIA Members Here thread indicating that we were missing two members

Don

Sorry about the mix up.

I sent Arkansasmountainman a PM inviting him to check in. Thanks, jrbsr!

Thanks jrbsr I missed it as well, appreciate the work you do

Don

hey guys thanks for the pm or i wouldnt have known..... i can already contribute

This one ought to put us up on the score. I sure thought he was more than 126 6 /8 but guess i was wrong

ALRIGHT!!!! guys we are at 281 2/8..........

nice buck
 

That's a pretty nice deer there, I hope to add to our score come December. I'm doing a management hunt north of me and we get one any sex tag and one antlerless tag. This place is a wildlife refuge that holds a lot of good size bucks.

Don

I saw a 160" today on a farm i hunt......... hope he shows saturday

Well, i finally got the camera unloaded. I got 4 does on the ground with a gun, but didn't get any horns with my muzzy for Ia Early Season ML. Bagged a decent 8 yesterday with my bow, it was my first buck with a bow. Not huge, but decent for my first one. Heading to Missouri Friday to play with the big boys, and have seen some monsters late this summer while scouting down there. Hopefully I can run into one! Attached are some pics.

Woo Hoo! Team 13 rocks!

ETA: I just checked the archives for last year's contest. The winning team scored 467 7/8 points by getting two big bucks, a medium buck, and three does. Meansy67's doe will put us at 306 2/8. We could put this thing away with just two more medium bucks and a good doe effort. Go get 'em boys!

I apologize, guys. My buck grossed 133 4/8. Wit 4 inches of deductions, I reported 129 4/8 in the official scorecard. I posted a correction but I don't know if we'll get it. Remember to post the gross score with no deductions!

question? if i kill a biiger buck will it replace the one already counted

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to this, if you shoot a better buck you can post it to the score thread and the better of the two will count. You only get to submit two so if your third buck is even bigger it won't count. At that point you should probably just shut up and grin though!

those are some nice scores up there, hope to add to it come December

Don

Congrats to everyone so far. Hopefully i can add to the score with a nice MO buck here in the next couple weeks. Did we ever decide on a team name and Avatar? It would be kind of embarrasing for the winning team to not have these things! :biggrin:

I'm not picky. Whatever you want a team name to be is fine with me. If you like the avatar I'm using I can put the team name on that or I can make a different one suited for the name.

by the way renissancebiker thats an awsome buck you killed...
I havent a clue as to what would be a good name, because every catchy sayin is already used on tv.... so if its ok to copy a name off tv maybe whitetail freaks or buck madness, buck comanders i really dont know

How about ( Team Hog Tied ) like all the big bucks are hog tied.

The other guys in my club are giving me a hard time because I decided to do a european mount with him. They say I'm crazy for not doing a traditional shoulder mount. At the beginning of the season I told myself if I got a good buck I would do a european mount because it would be different. I just thought it would look cool next to last year's shoulder mounted 9-point. One guy even said, "It's going to look like you just found him on the side of the road!" I'm the one that gets to sit in my Lazy Boy and look at him.

Well it ISSSSSS your buck, to do with how ever you want.

I think it would look good, and you could have the picture of you on your truck with the buck painted on the top of the skull.

Thay would really look good to me.

This pcture,

there is nothing wrong with euro mounts they look awsome

I agree European mounts look good
I'll be away for a few days, going to Tucson Arizona for a wedding Friday after Thanksgiving. Will be having Thanksgiving dinner with the new daughter in law and her family. I knoe I've brought it up before but now that we have a full team, if we could come up with some suggestions for team names that would be cool. What ever sounds good to you guys would be cool with me.

Don

I talked to a buddy of mine in Raleigh and he said he would make the mounting plaque for me. He said he would do it for a six-pack of Newcastle Brown Ale. I've seen some of the furniture he makes so I took him a 12-pack. What I got is made of solid walnut, stained and beautifully finished. This euro mount is gonna look cool.

Teams 7 and 20 are catching up to us. I might go out Wednesday morning, but I have to go to the in-laws for the weekend so that will be it until December. I really need it to get colder here.

Somebody please pick a name.

ETA: Team 7 just scored another buck. They are going to take the lead.

Sorry guys no buck for me. Worst rut I can remember. I will more than likely be with bow for the rest of the season. I might head out during muzzleloader. Good luck and I'll let you know.

Hope to add one come the weekend of December 19 - 20, will be doing a management hunt at DeSoto Wildlife Refuge that weekend. I've seen some big boys out there.

Don

Good luck. I'm still trying to bag another doe. I know where she crosses the logging road, I just can't seem to catch her doing it. One time I sat there waiting for her and a cold front moved through. I put the rifle down to put on my gloves and that when she crossed. Since then I keep seeing her fresh tracks, but I can't be there when she does it.

I think we should say that the next man to get a deer names the team.

You heard it guys next one to get a deer, doe or buck, gets to name the team.
You'll need to post a pic here for us all to see.

Don

i cant find time to get in the woods lately... we need 2 more good bucks

Yeah, I think we're in 4th place now! I am going to sit on that road again tomorrow morning. It's going to be relatively cold and wet this weekend (might snow Sunday!) so I might catch that doe.

Good luck everyone and be safe.

2nd, 3rd and 4th are pretty close. A doe would put us in second. It will take a couple of good bucks to catch Team 7.
