Life happens, everybody understands. This contest is for fun as you know. I think you should join. Last year I only saw one deer in the woods, and was lucky enough to shoot him. The year before that I didn’t see a single dear in the woods and I was on a team. I’ll keep harassing you to join until I see your name on the sign-up list!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Live from the stand thread is easily the best thread on these forums every year. Following people along the way as they follow blood trails is as good as it gets. When Joe got his buck was awesome.
I will sign up. If you can be moral booster, than so can I. I can at least contribute that way. Mostly, just whining about losing the access I had. It was a perfect place to take my boys who are just now old enough to start coming. Not sure how it will go trying to take them on public land.
Losing hunting ground sucks. It happened to me two years ago. I had to sell my house, (my hunting property) and go from seeing deer almost every sit, to going almost two full seasons and only seeing one deer.
My favorite parts about the contest is getting to know the guys. It's a big pick me up when it's cold, you haven't seen anything and the guys send text's of encouragement.
Two years ago I had an awesome team and we were so close to the winners...everyone participated in the chat...it was a ton of fun. Right now I'm dealing with continuation of last years shoulder issue and now add in a broken hand. Hoping to have the splint off in the next week or two. If it healed then no hard cast, otherwise hard cast for two or so weeks. Shot my bow like twice this year
Our team was great! If only I could have gotten at least a doe..... Sorry to hear of the injuries Kristen! Fingers crossed for you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Where do I find this hunt. I would really like to find it on here and read through it. It sounds really good!
I'm ready! I haven't been in the contest for two years. My climbing stick broke while setting it up and I fell 20 feet. I landed on my left side injuring my shoulder and hip, nothing broke but was in pain for a long time. Good to go now and I'm excited for this season. MA has just changed the opening to two weeks earlier!!!!
You weren't the only one! I have awful bow luck. But thanks. I should be good by August. Plus side is, it got me out of hay season lol.
Glad to see you back!! Also good to hear about MA opening up 2 weeks earlier! I’ll have to tell my old man. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It’s in the “live from the stand 2017” sticky at the top of the page. It sure which page. The whole thread is incredible!! It will get you in the hunting mood for sure! How about the killing machine Little Chief was last year?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
The contest has been fun for me the last two years and last year we didn’t even compete. If you will be active and chat I would encourage you to join. The live from the stand thread is fun to it goes crazy the end of October through the start of most fun seasons catching up after work every day is treat. Swamp getting his deer last year probably almost broke the internet. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I haven’t been in the contest yet but want to this year. I just got on here last year just before deer season and didn’t meet the requirements so hopefully this year. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I’ve been in every contest except one I believe and never placed in the top 10. You don’t want me on your team...I’m cursed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I’m trying to cut my emotional attachment to my public land hunting spot this year. They are the most beautiful woods I’ve ever hunted, and I have so many memories there since I was eight years old. I’m applying for the lottery hunt on providence water authorities reservoir property. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
