    This is what my season looked like last year. Very good year for happy. Shot a doe on opening morning, got my buck on 3rd day of the season then hunted the rest of the season to fill last doe tag on the last evening of the season. The buck was a complete surprise. No pics or previous sightings. He just magically appeared.

    Sorry for the late check in, but the fish is here. My wife has had a rough past couple months with kidney stones and an incident at work this past Friday that gave her a pretty good concussion.

    I had to do some digging to find them to get info to pm them but just did. Hopefully I did it correctly and they respond. I’m not the most tech savvy person and may not have done it correctly. I’ve already screwed up a few posts in here. Doesn’t look promising tho. Some haven’t viewed forum since early August.

    Longdraw is here.
    Here is just outside Chicago, didn’t get an invite to any bowhunting last year and didn’t have any land access, but I found a farm in central IL with deer just waiting for me.
    I’ve been overworked this summer but have lots of time off this fall.
    My 6’8” frame and long arms = a Longdraw.

    I’m planning (praying) to put a mature buck down this year.
    Oct 1st is opening day here. Can’t wait!

    Working on a house today doing some patch and repair of exterior trim and had a small group of deer go by in the yard. 2 descent bucks in the group. Of course where house is not sure you could get in anywhere to be able to hunt but got me excited. I even took an imaginary draw and aim on them.

    According to the rules, you have to give them two weeks to check in.

    Justin is going to (or already has) sent an e-mail to every member letting them know that the teams are posted.
