OK guys looking at the offical score card page we are listed as team "Lucky 13". Anyone have a problem with keeping that? It really doesn't matter to me. Like the old saying "I would rather be lucky then good". Of course being both is even better.

Everyone needs to go to the check in thread so we can have an idea of what we need.



Also, what is everyone's background and hunting successes?

I'm 27, killed by first deer with a bow at 13. I had almost got out of bowhunting for several years during college, but once I graduated 4 years ago, I started hunting seriously again. The only weapon I use is bow. I have 4 months each season to pursue bucks. I guess I've killed 1/2 dozen bucks and about 20 does with my bow, going consecutive seasons the last 2 years. I've always hunted areas where we were limited as to what we could shoot, so I've let hundreds of bucks scoring under 100 walk. My goal for this season is 2 bucks, one P&Y in Illinois and I will settle for 115 and up here in MS. I can't wait for the season to begin!!!

Let's here everyone's story

I'm 23, started hunting at 18. I arrowed my first deer on the last open moring of the 1999 deer season. It was a passthru shot at 15 yards. I've killed a total of 6 deer all with my Velocity Extreme XI bow that I purchased for $105! It was brand spankin new. XI was stoping production at the Evansville plant and sent all the unsold bows to the scratch and dent store. Awesome dual cam bow. I've downed 2 bucks, one last year at 20 yards quatering away, gutted it and found that the arrow went directly through the heart! The other buck was shot in the 01 season, the only deer that came up to me. Both bucks were 2.5 years old and 7 points. I've seen lots bigger deer just haven't gotten one yet. This is the year of the mount!! I made the switch from aluminums to carbons this year, with an addition of a whisker bisket. Last year was my first 2 deer season, butchered both myself.... well with the help of some beer drinking buddies:D. The freezer is empty so I'm looking for one to fill it up.:D

Thats my deer huntin history.

This is the thread DC is talking about. [link]http://forum.hunting.net/asppg/tm.asp?m=733433[/link]
I still have not heard back from blklab or mnrut. Maybe they are on vacation. Let's see if we hear back from them by next week.

I posted some of my info early in this thread. A picture to go with the name would also be fun if anyone would care to post one before they get their buck.;)

I started bow hunting when I was 16. I had noone to show me so I was self taught. I hunted pretty regular until my son (smartass hoyt14 on team 10) started to come with. Back in '92 when he was 4 I met a neighbor who did a lot of waterfowl hunting. Well I took that up and we would take out boys everywhere we went. This allowed me to spend my time in the outdoors with my son (and daughter) which I didn't feel I could do too well bow hunting. Somehow (years later) he remembered when I used to come home in camo with face paint on. He told me one day 3 years ago that he would like to try bow hunting. Well that was it. We hunted the last 2 years on 80 acres that my Dad purchased for "family hunting". After those 2 years we decided this is what we want to do. We both got new bows this year and have never looked back.

I used to be the guy that would pull the bow out a week before the season, shoot 10 shots in a nice group at 20 yards and say that's enough. This year we both have been shooting 100-150 shot a week since March. Until this year I never would have thought about shooting more then 20 yards. I have shot 3 inch groups at 40 this fall. Not all the time but I feel very confident on deer out to 30 or 35.

I have not shot a deer these last two years as I was holding out for the big buck. We are in a earn-a-buck area but we can earn the buck tag with a gun or bow and use it with either. This year I will be shooting the first decent doe to come by to get the buck tag. Last year I got my doe with a gun in the early gun season. WI regs are all screwed up in the CWD zone.

Over all confidence is very high because all the bucks I passed up last year are looking good and that first year we were still learning the place. Sorry this got a little windy. Just excited I guess. Just got in from shooting before I started this.:D
