Team 4 Rackoholics check in.
 

WIbuckchaser checking in.

Canuck_2 checking in from southern British Columbia. Our bow season opens tomorrow morning, so we'll see what happens.

Joe (henson59) checking in from Central IL. I will be hunting in Illinois and Indiana both seasons open on Oct 1st for me.

big10hunter checking in hunting out of PA opener starts first weekend in Oct.

Hey guys! I will be starting October 15. Good luck, Canuck!

Good luck Canuck! We are 1 month away and I can't stand the wait! I have some pics of a few good bucks. I will post them this week. We just got some good rain at my Indiana property so hopefully my fall plots turn out good.

What does everybody shoot? I use a bow tech experience

Seems like most of you have another month or so to wait yet; probably better as far as getting the weather to cool off is concerned.

I've been out each of the last 2 mornings and seen lots of deer but nothing close enough that I want to shoot. Closest was a little buck with gnarly antlers at 14 yards.

To answer the above question, I shoot a Hoyt Razortec that I bought in 2003. I've bought a couple other different ones since then for target shooting and 3D, but have never found a model that I like as well as the Razortec.

My season starts Sept. 14. I will be hunting Wisconsin with my 2011 Bowtech destroyer 350.

Ryan (Huntalot60) checking in. season starts sept 14 and hope to have something shot by 7 am. lol put it off last year and endedup with only one deer in the freezer. this year first one in is the winner.

Welcome to the team Ryan! Filling the freezer is usually my top priority too! But its always nice if a nice buck helps you do it. :)

hi guys. checking in. i'll be hunting in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Well I guess I will be the first to share what I am after this year. I have had a tough time getting good pics of decent bucks this year but I guess I have a couple.



This one I would give a couple more years before I even consider taking him.

Even though he is small that last deer would be really cool to shoot and have his hide tanned. The Brows on that first buck are awesome!!!!! I hope you can put an arrow in one of them!

Do you hunt Private land or is this public?

Here are my two big deer I am going after this year on our Indiana farm. We have a few other decent bucks but for the first month and a half I am hunting these two. Indiana is a one buck state so you have to be selective! I also bow hunt here in IL but I don't have cameras up at those locations for fear of them getting stolen. They usually have decent bucks but the Huge 10 is all I think about.

The Big 8


The Huge 10

I'm using a PSE Brute-X This year.

Those are some nice bucks guys.

I'm looking for ol' drop tine 11 this year. Only caught him on the camera two times last year and never saw him during the season. I'm pretty sure he survived the winter and I think this is him in July of this year. Not sure if he'll have the drop tine this year or not, but hopefully he walks near my stand this year.

Checking in...sorry for the delay! Been just a bit busy. I will be hunting TN, and will start a week from tomorrow. Statewide opens the 28th, but there is a WMA that opens a week early.

I shoot a Mathews Outback, and a Damon Howatt Super Diablo recurve. Likely won't do much recurve hunting this year, tho.

I'll be hunting a mix of both

Well now that we have most of the team we probably need to take care of a captain and name for the team.

I don't mind filling the Captains role if thats ok with the group. Any name suggestions?

Henson gets my vote for captain. I don't really care, as far as team name is concerned. I'd be fine with "Team 4".

Fine by me.

How about these?

Rackaholics Anonymous

I like team 4. We are here to kill bucks not sound cool doing it! lol!!!!

All joking aside I actually like Rackaholics Anonymous

It could go either way we like anters and boobs. I dig it!

I hunt both public and private. These pics are all from public land. Nearly all of the deer that I have harvested in my 23 years of hunting have came from public land.

Henson has my vote for captain.

Henson for president! -er, captain.

I'm always at a loss for a team name; thankfully there's always guys around who think better than I. Rackaholics Anonymous sounds good - perhaps we should nab that before some spy sneaks off with it.

WIbuckchaser and henson59, those are some great bucks. Fingers crossed for you to hang tags on some of them.

Looks like that is 5 of 9 votes for henson (assuming he is voting for himself)

So what do we think for a name? so far the leaders are

Rackaholics Anonymous

My vote goes to Rackaholics

i'm good with Rackaholics Anonymous

Sounds good by me too.

ok if you are opposed to Rackaholics let me know. I am going to give it until Thursday morning and then I will submit that name.

How are the finals days before season going for you guys? Anybody got any big bucks on camera?

I'm easy....

This one came in a couple nights ago. Not a big rack but sure looks mature to me. How old would you say he is?

I would guess 5 1/2.

Haven't got any big boys on camera yet, but I have seen a couple real good shooters with my own two eyes. They were together with some younger bucks in a bachelor group about a week ago. Hopefully I will get some more on camera in the coming days. Going out tomorrow, or Friday to put up a camera on a new property that I got permission to hunt this year.

WIbuckchaser, that's another nice buck right there. I'd be delighted to have him stand broadside at 20 yards.

Anybody have any info as to the whereabouts of Golfpro261? And what the heck does PLACEHOLDER mean?

I will PM FieldMouse and get everything taken care of. The placeholder is for an alternate. Also if golfpro hasn't checked in by now I doubt he will.

WIBuckchaser- can you go back to the origianl post and alter the title of this thread to include our team name please. I took off the anonymous part because that would imply we are recieving help for our addiction. I don't know about you guys but I sure as heck don't want any help.

Rackoholics

I am not sure how to do that without starting a new thread?:confused0024:

I suddenly have a few more bucks on my hitlist.

Go back to the very first post of this thread and select "edit" then down in the bottom right corner of the edit box you will see a "go Advanced" option. Click on that and it should allow you to change the title of this thread. then click save.

Here is best buck i have on camera so far. I going to set camera to video mode today in hope's of get the shot on one tomorrow morning
