Just checking in for team 7. You guys (and gals?) ready for a great season! I think this year will be my year. I recently purchased a 4x4 truck, so I don't have to rely on other people to set my hunting schedule and plan on hunting closer to my house (so I can get out more). I found some great WIHA hunting land in KS last spring, while turkey hunting, that should yield some very nice deer. Out of one place I have in mind, my dad and I kicked out over 25 deer in one group. Should be a great one and I'm super pumped !

checking in also.i also have some new land to hunt this year.my buddy has 110 acres we have spent all summer hanging stands and planting.october can't get here fast enough!!!!

checkin in...My friends I hunt with tell me they have been seeing some big bucks hopefully they get closer than 70yds this year. Good Luck everyone!

Checking in here from Illinois. My name is Scott, and I hunt a 365 acre farm along with some public ground. Last year I missed a mid 130's 10 pt. on Oct. 31st, but was able to connect on a 155" 12 pointer on Nov. 3rd. I've spent a lot of hours this winter and summer scouting 2 studs using our farm.

Hopefully we can put down some bucks and have fun doing it.

Checking in and ready to hunt. I am in Southern Maryland, have 4 stands setup already and three more to get setup. Season starts September 15th. Going to check my cameras tonight or tomm. to see what is cruising the woods this year. Oh yeah, im an old guy so take it easy on me))))))

We are still missing 4 people on our team.

This is the buck I killed last year. By far the biggest I have ever tagged. I rattled him out of a standing cornfield for a 5 yard shot. I had checked a camera that morning, and had a picture of him from a few nights before on the other side of the property. He was a main frame 10 pointer, but had two 1.5" kickers coming off a browtine, making him a 12. He grossed at 155 4/8".





This next buck is one I saw a few times as a 3.5 year old in 2008. He was about a 130" 10 pointer then, but I never was able to get a shot. I never saw him last year, but I was able to capture a picture of him in late December. I've also seen another buck every bit as big as this one this summer while velvet scouting.

Nice looking buck Illinois Buck Hunter! I personally have never taken a buck with a bow; the only ones that I've had within range were too small. I took a couple of fat does last year (with my bow)and a fairly nice 11 pointer with my rifle. Hopefully this will be my year to score a buck with a bow!

Just got back from putting up two more stands. I tell ya, the older I get it seems harder and harder to put these stands up in the heat. 1 more to setup tomm. then I am done and ready to hunt the 15th of Sept.
