jrbsr....

I agree with Bible Man - only if someone doesn't show up, then maybe he can join us. I don't want to ask anyone to switch teams, its not that big of a deal. I don't know when the actual cutoff is to "be checked in".

We still have 3 folks that haven't checked in with just over a week before the deadline so I think we could put a pretty safe bet on there being an opening on the team for WV_Hunter's son.

Looks like I'm not going to hunt New Mexico this year so I'm going to have to rely on taking a good buck off my own property here in Texas this year.

This guy is #1 on the hitlist still. Not getting super consistent pictures of him but at least once a week. This one was from 4 days ago.



They always look better looking away don't they?



I'm thinking he would score right around 140" or so.

There's a decent 8 with an extra crabclaw that would be hard to pass up as well, but not a lot of others that would score very well. There is a 4x3 that is a mature buck and has good mass, just missing a tine on one side and not very long tines either.

Never know what will show up when you are out there though!

Good luck everyone.

I have also emailed the remaining 3, with no response.

What do ya'll think of this for an avatar?

Actually it should probably say, Team 2,, Freak Nasty, but if ya'll like it, I am good with it as is.

Nice buck npaden, and a good job on judging him. I came up with the same @ 140. 61 on either side with a spread of 18.

Treebeard

I like it

Great buck npaden...good luck with him! I wish we had bucks like that around here, but a 140 is probably 1 in a million, unfortunately. I'm hoping to get that 1 though - every year I hold that hope.

I haven't seen anything worth shooting yet, but I'm sure I'll bump into one sooner or later. Went out yesterday to mark my property lines like I do every year (paint/posted signs) and didn't see anything. Lots of acorns - major bumper crop this year. Not sure if that will end up hurting us or not. They certainly don't have to search for food. Didn't see even 1 rub, which was a little discouraging as I walked about a mile and a half - but I typically don't start seeing many rubs until Nov. M/L opens Nov 3rd, so hopefully things will begin to heat up by then. First two weeks of Nov have traditionally been very good here. I guess we'll see.
