    Those are some great looking bucks! And I don't blame you for not wanting to share all of them on a public forum! I have to agree with you regarding members joining teams then disappearing shortly after seasons start. I have seen it happen almost every year and later come to find out that those individuals ended up harvesting deer but never coming back to post them for the team. I hope this year we have 100% participation throughout the entire season and if your season hasn't started or has come to an end stay up to date with your teammates and with any luck we can knock the defending chumps from the thrown!

    I don't know anything about it. He hasn't said anything to me but I haven't talked to him in several months. When is it?

    Ya I am not very good with the graphics either. I am trying to learn but between trying to learn that and my new video editing software it is going to take some time!

    Sounds good to me! I need to give Todd a call tomorrow to find out who he is sending down for the weekend. If you are going to come make sure you bring your bow to shoot in our small course we set up out behind the store.

    This was an open invite to all team members as well! I would love to meet you all and see you at our store!

    A little background on me- I look forward to getting to know you all as the season progresses.
    My name is Tony and I live in Columbus, Indiana. I have been bow hunting for 38 yrs. I’m 56 and have some issues with arthritis that will be requiring surgery in the near future. I plan to hold out and get the bow season in before I let them cut on me. My health limits being able to do the big walks anymore like I use to, but I still manage to get out there via my UTV and take my share of deer every year.

    I hunt 5 counties in southern Indiana (Brown, Bartholomew, Jennings, Jackson & Scott) and have access to (about 3000 acres). I mainly hunt on three farms though including my Mom’s place which is around 300 acres. Last year I picked up a new piece of river bottom ground. Really looking forward to learning it this year. I can’t wait to get after them come October 1st.
    I have my vacation set up so that I have every Thursday through -Sunday off starting October 29th through all of November 

    New River bottom place.

    Here are a couple of bucks on it that I will be chasing.

    Love the looks of your new toy:rock:, or should I say side bye side. The river bottoms look to be the place I'd be investing my time at. Got some good looking deer there ,good luck with any of them. Nice to see someone else with a little age on them, I just retired this year at 60. I'm waiting for a knee replacement which should come in the new year,right now I get around with a knee brace and should actually get a cane, looks like you have a ways to get into your sites also. How do the knees react to climbing tree steps after the walk in? Just heading out this morning to hang 3 new stands and 2 TC's. I'll see in the afternoon how my knees feel. Good luck this season and nice meeting you.

    Bye the way ,what make is your side bye side? can't say I've seen it before! Also is that a Primos Black 46 or just a regular 46? I have the reg 46 which doesn't make the picture as dark, not a bad photo though. Saw them on a site for 80 bucks ,reg 160. That's cheap for a black out camera!

    Thanks Rocky-- nice to meet you too.

    My side by side is a CFMOTO model 800cc UFORCE. I like it so far.

    My knees are fine. It's my hips that kill me. So far as long as I take my time I can still climb the ladders ok. I had to give up using a climber or hang on as I can't manage them anymore.

    Not sure what's worse ,the hip replacement or knee? I've heard the knee is more painfull, all though there both bad. 6 months rehab for the knee. All I can do now for excercise is swimming, I do that 4 times a week. Doc says it'll help with the rehab,had to drop my poundage for my bow to 50 from 65 so I can draw it. Actually I just ordered new limbs for it yesterday, I tore my rotator Cuff 2 season's ago and have'nt been able to strengthen it since. Even though I lift weights and do my Machine 3 times a week. Age !!!!! Getting old is not as fun as I thought it would be,LOL
