Nubo...thats cool we got Frank! Now if we can just get some of the others to show up!
I'd say we have to at least give them 2 weeks from the day the teams were announced before they get the boot. People get real busy sometimes and this is the last thing they have time for.

As far as the team name....I like The Shafts unless someone can come up with something better. I can't be much help with a logo though.

Let's start introducing ourselves to the rest of the team. I know we have a few folks that have been around a while, but a bunch are new to the board.

Anyhow...I'm 37, married, with 2 kids. I have been bow hunting seriously for about 15yrs. I live in the mountains of VA, and hunt both in VA and WV. I own 38 acres (where I live) and also we have a small hunt club that leases almost 1000 acres from a family member in WV. Both are decent places to hunt to get a deer, but the areas I hunt are not known for big bucks. A good one where I am would be 110". I'm sure there are bigger around...just not that many. There have only been 5 total p&y entries ever, from the 2 counties I hunt. Man I get jealous hearing about these guys passing 130's, but I have to play with the hand I'm dealt. I guess when I take that p&y....it will be like taking a b&c in these other areas I can't wait !!!!

I've killed alot of deer with a bow, but exactly 0 good bucks. I haven't actually shot a buck with my bow since '97. In '98 I decided that I was done shooting small bucks and would hold out for a mature buck only. From that point on, I became the doe master [8D]...while holding out for a wall hanger. I'm hoping this will be my year to get him. I've seen a few nice ones around...now I just need it all to come together for me.

I usually get a decent amount of hunting time in during the season...but this year may be a little different since I will be starting a new job soon. I have no idea what my schedule will be like.

So thats it for me in a nutshell. Lets hear from the rest of our team!

GO TEAM 11!!!! We may be underdogs, but we're gonna put it on em!!
