Geez this site has been a mess lately! I havent been able to get a page up for three days!

I'm guessing our teammates have had the same troubles.....

Here's a June trailcam of one of the ones I'm chasin

What kind of problem was the site giving you? Let me know when there are issues so I can send them on to the tech folks. [email protected]

Stabnslab_WI checking in will be hunting Central WI. Hunted three times last year and bagged a 142 inch 9 with a bow. Will try to get out more this year. Im pretty much the only one that hunts our 300+ acre farm, my dad will sit Oct 28th-Nov 6th. Didn't put out any camera's this year, so its going to be like Christmas all over again when I see what we have out there. Good luck everyone

Team name ideas guys?

Anyone good with graphics to do us an avatar?

You guys are so lucky to have my buddy Btbowhunter on your team.

He kills a buck every year(sometimes they still have spots, but he says that makes for a beautiful mount)

Good luck guys-

LLBUX-Team 27

OWWW! that's gonna leave a mark! LOL!

Just see where I put you when you come by to hunt this season:poke:
We got a spot where we got 4 different coyotes on trailcam in one week that'll be just right for you Arnie.

Nice, welp Sport4 checking in. Get a chance at a big one every year and the last three years I have produced. I'm ready to role, good luck everybody.

By the way, my name is Collin and I live and hunt in Illinois. Not sure about what our name should be but I vote BTBowhunter for captain.

Checking in from OK!

I agree with BTBowhunter as a captian... Lets get the team name going. I think something like Team All Day or Team Stick Em or Team Red Blood or Team Kill it & Grill it or Team Guts or Glory... Lets get someothers out!!!

I agree with BT being captain.

Fling it and bring it
Smack it and drag it
Heart Stoppers

Keep 'em coming

agreed for btbowhunter

Hey guys and girls maybe... I whipped out a quick AVATAR let me know what you think. I say our capt. is set and our name should be Heart Stoppers. Just my opinion let me know.

Hi Team 23.

Your two alternates are:
-Booner00
-Mathews PA Bowhunter

hi guys. thanks for the votes. sorry for being off a few days. net service at at my hunting lease in illinois is terrible. I like heart stoppers too! Great team name! I'm typing while riding (not driving ) in the truck back to Pa but seeing the screem and typing is tough.. Talk to you all later.

Lets see that avatar!:biggrin:

Hi TEAM,

My name is Chris, 44 yoa. Married with 2 kids active in sports. i have royghly about 800 acreas that i can hunt. there are a few Bucks that are on the hit list, and i have 2 doe tags also. i have vacation from Oct 27 to Nov 07th.

i've been out once and i came up empty unless you count that i saw a red fox. i will be out tomorrow night and friday night.

Its good to be apart of a team. Now i'm going to read some the post from you guys:cool2:

Going out tonight... The leaves are falling like crazy here so it may be difficult to bag my buck but you cant get them sitting at home!!! Good luck

Well i seen first set of horns tonight, a spike and a 5 point (3 and 2). NOT legal thou, must be 4 points on one side. Oh well it was good to see those deer tonight. Kids have a X cross country meet and a football game on Sat, not to mention i wrk til 7 am and then sleep some, Tuesday will be the next time out for me.


GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

Sorry just now able to get on here. Checkin in!

Hey guys, since Schester14 checked in.... let me know if Booner00 checks in (because then you'd have 11 team members) I can place Booner00 on another team at that point.

Thanks!

Glad you could make it Schester14!!!

WE NOW HAVE A FULL TEAM CHECKED IN GUYS!!

now lets put some bone on the ground:cool2:

Good to see ya on

good luck to you this year!!!!!!!!

Just got a call from my friend in Illinois. While I was out there last weekend, we put up a ground blind over a nice food plot for a wheelchair bound combat wounded veteran we have coming out on the 22nd. We put out a trailcam last Sunday in front of that blind and got over 100 pictures of bucks in a week! Of course we got many repeats of the same deer but we have at least 5 that are 120-130 class hangin around.

We're leaving that area alone for our wounded warrior and I cant wait to see him stick one of those bucks! He's paralyzed from the chest down after being shot in Iraq and the he had three strokes that cost him the use of his right arm but he can use a crossbow with a special rest attached to his motorized wheelchair.

That's great BT! That is what it is all about right there. I hope he connects to.

I have only gone out once and that was opening weekend on Sunday night. I am away playing baseball in college and I cannot make it home during the week, but our fall season ended this past Saturday so I will be making it home every weekend here on out. I did see 14 deer Sunday night though. 5 little bucks hounding an old doe. Her fawns were huge so I think she was bred real early last year and from the looks of it she may be bred real early this year to. The biggest buck wouldn't leave her alone and he was sparring with another little buck. A great first sit. I also made a mock scrape and set my cam over it. I am anxious to see if they have been hitting it. Just wanted to keep you guys posted and good luck to everyone.

BT
That’s an awesome feeling to do something like that. I know it changed the way I look at hunting, its more of a privilege than a right. I took a wounded Marine out through the WWIA (Wounded Warriors In Action) program and it was a great experience. Learned a lot about the people who allow use to hunt like we do today. If it wasn’t for them we might not have this privilege. One of the most touching moments thus far in my life and hope its that same for you. Make sure you let us know how he does!!

Good Luck :party0005:

Well, I broke the ice this morning on a mature doe. She's skinned and coolin in the garage now.

Just got through all the trailcam pics and found this guy at one of my old reliable PA spots

BT as a vet myself i thank you, its guys like you that make it easier for our brothers to come home and get to do the things they love again. once again thank you

I appreciate the kind words guys. The bottom line is there is no way to adequately thank those who have served most especially those who were hurt or killed in that service.

I have this in the midwest forum but if anyone here will be around the small town of Meredosia Illinois on Oct 28, we're having a little get together to honor our wounded warrior at the end of his hunt. It will be held at the Approach restaurant right on main street by the bridge over the Illinois river. Good food, adult beverages and a chance to thank our vet. We hope to be there about 7:30 till? We have a room that'll hold 75 or so and no reservations are needed but a heads up if you plan on stoppping by will help us get an idea of how many the Approach should plan for.

Talk to you later guys. I'm sitting at my camp looking out at a terrific sunrise wishing I was in my tree but gotta leave in 15 minutes to meet someone across the county that had to be today:cry:

X2

BT it takes a special kind of person to do what your doing for this VET. I would love to be there in IL to thank him and YOU but i can not attend, but i will pray for a successfull event!!!!!

Thank You!!!!! :hail::hail::hail:

Well guys, I leave for Illinois tomorrow morning. Our vet arrives Thursday. I'll be checking in when I can. My net service will be via my laptop and signals can be very spotty where I'll be but I'll be sure and keep you updated!

Shoot straight guys and poke a biggun!!

Sorry for not checking in sooner,i forgot all about this site.Between hunting, school and me just getting a job at Basspro I have been busy latley.Am i still on the team?

Ugh....I had to let down on one because I could find my pin through my peep. It was the 8th buck I seen and amazingly 6 out of the 8 were in shooting distance. I had a hot doe come through with 4 bucks behind her and about another 20+ does in the fresh cut corn field. I looked about 200 yards into the field and seen a nice buck pick his head up and chase a fairly size buck towards my stand. As I was drawing the big buck picked up the doe scent and headed towards my stand 12 yards away. I looked forever for my pin (getting dark) and could only see it if I moved my head away from my anchor point. I wasn't going to shoot because I didn't want to wound him. So I let off. We'll try again soon and hopefully he will be back.
