***Cross Country Slayers - Team 15***

Hey guys..My name is Tim and I am 48 years old. I live in PA but I do most of my serious bowhunting in Kansas. I hunt 5000 private acres in Kansas. I have been hunting there for 10 years and have been fortunate to have taken 8 P&Y bucks. I take 3 weeks of vacation to spend it all hunting the rut in Kansas. I usually hold out for a 150" but I won't shoot anything under a 140". I will try and get some pictures up later. Good luck team and I look forward to swapping some stories with you..

 

Richie, where in NJ? I spent my college years in Clinton Twp, Hunterdon County. I still go back there to bow hunt cause of huge deer population and nice bucks. We usually take 4-6 deer in 3-4 days. It's great hunting.

 

Looks like we are still missing one of our teammates

 

Yea, I pmed him on here and found him on Facebook and sent him a message. Says he read it so if he doesn't show up by sept 2nd, I'll ask fitz for a replacement

 

I grew up in union county. I used to hunt some of the wma out west near rt 78. My favorite one was voorhees. tons of big bucks and lots of fighting during the rut. Loved it there.

 

Just checked the moon phase for oct 1st, gonna be a good moon the 1st week of season.

 

PA where do u hunt in Kansas? If its close to me we oughta share some beers and some hunting stories while ur down this way.

 

Richie, I went to Union HS and grew up there. We moved to Clinton while I Was in college. We also hunt Vorhees, fantastic hunting there and the surrounding areas. Ive seen some huge nontypicals there but out of bow range. I'll be at a green acres piece, that Ive never seen anyone else hunting, about three miles from there on Sept 14. Small world!

 

Hey Wes did you let Fitz know that ur the team Captain. I saw a thread on it.

 

Yea thats crazy. People are always like you hunt in NJ in like hell yeah tons and tons of big deer and plenty of them. good luck this season

 

Yep.....

 

Sweet. Looks like we got it all going. By the way my season opens oct 5 here for bow in va. looking to lay a doe or my buck in velvet that day otherwise im taking leave during the rut to fill my tags

 

Y'all still got bucks in velvet in October? Ours will be shed late August, first week or two in September

 

Friends in Kentucky and Kansas have pictures of bucks already started and one has a completely polished rack in Kentucky.

 

Thats crazy I have seen bucks opening day here still with hanging velvet all over there rack. some are polished by then but its kind of up in the air whether the one im after will have any or not

 

Tim from North Dakota. 50 years old and still love bow hunting more then ever. This year I will be enjoying my hunting with my 14 year old daughter again. She is trying to get her first bow buck ( started bow hunting last year ). Been having a blast scouting with her and running trail cameras.

Got a few decent bucks running around. I don't have a doe tag as they cut way back on killing does with the low population here in ND but I have two buck tags. Sure glad they changed the rule this year where a second buck can be used for your doe points. That worked out great for me this year as long as I can do my part and kill a second buck.

Looks like we have a very good team and I am glad to be a part of it.

Tim

 

That sounds like a good idea..I hunt near Medicine Lodge in Barber County. Is that any where close to you?

 

Probably the biggest buck I have cruisin the property right now.

 

Bummer, that's about 3 hours southwest of me. I'm over in Toronto, ks (Woodson county). Good luck while ur out here this season, there's a lotta great deer out this way

 

Yep, that's a little too far. Lol..Kansas is a great state to hunt in.

Well, I'm just heading out the door for a fishing/vacation trip to Canada, so I won't be online for a week or so. Keep the pics coming, and I'll catch up with you guys when I get back.
