WIbuckchaser checking in. Here's a few pics from my Moultrie.

Here's a couple from last yr. that I am sure are still alive.


Here are some sheds I found this spring.

mbmrang 09-03-2010 04:37 PM

Checking in.
 
Mike from central MO checking in. I should have more to post later, but here are two of my favorites. I am also trying to bowhunt the same deer, but I should be able to post a few points for the team come November.






Good luck all.
Mike

WNYhunter 09-03-2010 05:24 PM

hey just checking in here. Looks like some of you have some nice ones running around. I have been getting a few youngs ones, hopefully the big ones show their face soon. Good luck everyone.

npaden 09-06-2010 07:55 PM

I'm around. I'll be hunting whitetails in Texas and mule deer in New Mexico.

Got some decent bucks on camera this year. This one is the best.



I'll be hunting the same place as last year in New Mexico where I killed a 181" mule deer and they said they saw 4 bucks that big or bigger that made it through the year and this year should have been a great year for antler growth.

Hopefully I'll be able to contribute this year.

Good luck everyone!

Hunt4Life23 09-07-2010 11:58 AM

hunt4life23 checkin in for team 3. this should be a good season and looks like we got some good guys on the team so lets win this!!

mbmrang 09-08-2010 06:01 AM

There are for sure some good opportunities with the team. I will be checking cams today sometime. We moved them to some trails over the last week or so and I am hoping to catch some better travel patterns. Hopefully my clover plot we planted a week ago is coming up as well. I have high hopes for the imperial clover. We will see if it lives up to them.

Depending on if the rain holds off today, I may plant some more wheat and little clover in another patch we round-uped a couple of weeks ago. The weather here as been a little wierd. Dry and hot for several weeks and the last 1 1/2 weeks have been cool and about 5 inches of rain. Great for plots if the seed is in the ground though.

We also need to elect a team captain and come up with a name. Any suggestions?

fastetti 09-08-2010 09:42 PM

Hey guys, just checking in as well. I hunt private land in Michigan and Either public land, or if I can get permission this year again, private land in Southern Illinois. The spot I hunt in Michigan isn't known for its big bucks but you never know. Southern Illinois though is always up in the air, I never know what I'm going to see down there, both public and Private.

npaden 09-09-2010 12:29 PM

Just a few more to go on getting the team checked in. I've been on a team with Crokit before, he's a good guy.

No preferences here on team name or team captain. I'll be out a lot this fall otherwise I would volunteer to pull some duties.

Pretty much impossible to come up with a team name that hasn't been used before. Trying to think of off the wall names all I could come up with was "Antlers Anonymous". Not sure if it has been used before or not.

WIbuckchaser 09-09-2010 08:35 PM

How about, "Big Bucks R Us"? Just a dumb suggestion.

Hunt4Life23 09-10-2010 07:53 PM

rack attack is fine with me

mbmrang 09-11-2010 11:40 AM

Rack Attack has my vote.

WIbuckchaser 09-12-2010 06:39 PM

Rack Attack sounds good to me.

jrbsr 09-12-2010 07:52 PM

It's starting to look like we will have 1 no show.
I have sent them a PM message 2 times.
I hope they check in by the dead line.



4. rustynobels - North Carlonia



On another note, who do you guys want for team captain?

afrdnckhntr 09-13-2010 01:04 PM

checkin in guys. name is sam im from illinois and cant think about anything other than gettin back into that stand come october!

jrbsr 09-14-2010 05:53 PM

I made a team avatar.
What do you think of it?



Does this one look better?
He looks like he has been shot.


WIbuckchaser 09-14-2010 06:31 PM

The avatar looks good to me.

fastetti 09-14-2010 07:19 PM

Looks great to me, except I've seen that view of a buck too many times without firing a shot! :)

jrbsr 09-15-2010 03:18 PM

Heres a newer version of the avatar.
With a bullet hole.
Do you like it better?


WIbuckchaser 09-15-2010 07:13 PM

They both look cool to me.

crokit 09-17-2010 02:29 AM

Avitar and team name good by me.

Is it true that if you have a teammate from Wisconsin, you MUST offer swap a hunt with a New Yorker? If it isn't a rule, lets make it one. JK:s4:

jrbsr 09-17-2010 04:14 AM

Which one do you like better?
# 1 or # 2 ?

# 1



# 2


And you need to pick a team Captain.
So who do you all want for your Team Captain?

Thank You.

jrbsr

mbmrang 09-17-2010 04:23 AM

I like the second avatar pic.

jrbsr, I know you are very busy with running the contest, but could you also fulfil the duties as team captain? There wouldn't a conflict of interest if you were captain would there?

jrbsr 09-17-2010 02:24 PM

It's what ever the team wants.
If some one on our team wants to be captain, or if every one wants me.
That will be ok, but it needs to be what the team wants.

JMHO

Well Crokit if I had the money I would take you up on that. By the looks of the pic you show I would be looking at the same caliber bucks over there as I am here.

crokit 09-18-2010 03:11 PM

JRBSR has my vote for team Capt., or, like he said, if anyone else wants it, ditto. Also, either avitar is good w/me.

WIbuckchaser: Yup, probably very comparable. 130-150 class very doable each year, especially in the Adirondacks where I hunt. Just a matter of right place at the right time { as if this is just a small thing lol:wink: }

Hunt4Life23 09-19-2010 06:58 PM

jrbsr has my vote for captain as well

Father Forkhorn 09-24-2010 01:19 PM

If it's not too late, I'm checking in. Sorry, I've not gotten to the computer much lately.

npaden 09-26-2010 08:19 PM

Got my Wyoming general tag elk this week. Shot it on opening morning. I doesn't count toward the contest, but I was pretty happy with him. Pretty tough hunting. We talked to several other hunters and most hadn't even seen or heard an elk all week. My friend I hunt with got his on Thursday.

Here's mine.


Here's his.


Here they are both back at camp.


One more elk hunt in New Mexico where I'm hoping to hold out for a nice bull, then I'll start working on deer after that.

jrbsr 09-26-2010 09:17 PM

Congratulations, thats a nice elk.
What did he score?
And thats a perfict picture pose.

Looks like you arent the only one scoring.

A shift in the wind (shifty winds were a real problem today) right before legal shooting light forced me to abandon my spot overlooking a wooded draw that leads to a bedding area. I was on a hillside and decided to back out, use the hill to shield my movement, and circle to a place where the wind was right, and then still hunt from there up through the draw.

To do that, I had to circle a pond and saw 4-5 does walking toward me below the dam. Once they came into range, the first one that turned broadside was going home in the pickup. An easy fifty yard shot and I saw her drop.

The only other drama: vultures. I dressed the deer out and then noticed several vultures over head. I managed to cover the deer with several boards and an overturned picnic table and they stayed away long enough to walk for the truck.

I hope Father Forkhorn has at least one picture, of him, the doe, and the gun.
I will be the first deer of the contest.

WIbuckchaser 09-28-2010 07:03 AM

Congrats on the elk npaden!

jrbsr 09-30-2010 08:18 AM

Theres been 3 members that have voted for me to be Team Captain.
Does any one else want to be the Team Captain?
Just want to make sure.
So what does every one think?

Thank You

What does the team captain actually have to do?

jrbsr 09-30-2010 07:07 PM

Just kinda keep up with the team, and vote on things if something comes up.
Not a lot.

WIbuckchaser 10-03-2010 08:25 AM

I'm pretty sure I could handle being captain.

jrbsr 10-05-2010 04:52 AM

Sorry, but I'm completely apathetic about who our captain is. In my opinion anyone that wants to do it is fine with me. I don't want to do it! ;)

WIbuckchaser 10-05-2010 06:31 PM

Checked my card today and found out the scrape I put camera on is quite active. I wonder if the new scent I am trying out this year is helping to attract them or if they all intended to stop in for a visit anyway?
