    Sure did! Sorry it took a while. Been really swamped with work. This should move us ahead.

    Did we finally get that buck entered from way earlier in the season as well?? That would be awesome if we pulled off a win.

    I wish that everything would be updated so we could see the standings. When does the contest officially end? Our season ends this Sunday in Illinois.

    The score of the buck from early in the season was posted but not entered in our score yet. Hopefully Fitz gets it updated soon. He has a lot of calculating to do!

    Well our season has finally come to a close. It is always a time to reflect on the ups and downs that I had.

    - Managed to shoot my first turkey bow the first week of the season which was certainly a highlight.
    - Shot a coyote with my bow on the opening weekend which always pumps me up.
    - Missed the largest buck that I have ever had the opportunity to shoot at, not once but twice :)
    - Just a couple days after I missed that buck I managed to shoot a beautiful ten pointer with my father in law
    - Just a couple days after the first buck, I shot the biggest and oldest buck that I have ever managed to shoot. 7.5 years old by my taxidermist's evaluation of his teeth
    - Shot two more coyotes throughout the season and was blessed to take three overall (a new personal PR)
    - Shot two additional does with my bow and one with my muzzleloader and have the freezer completely full for next year.
    - Saw and passed on more deer this year than I have seen the past couple years combined.
    - Saw a ton of 2.5 and 3.5 yr old bucks that will be growing in to some great deer in upcoming seasons.
    - Most importantly this season gave me another opportunity to spend time in one of the places I love the most.. the deer stand.
    - I do some of my best thinking and reflecting sitting there hours on end waiting on those exciting moments to occur.

    And just maybe we will score a win for our team and will be able to do this all over again next year!

    Video of the buck I shot with my rifle on 12/31. Lots of deer action. Enjoy

    Great video bud! Watched it all the way through. That buck was nice and the tire is bizarre!

    That was a huge group of turkeys! I would love to see a group like that walk by!

    Ok i just spent more time than I care to admit going through all the submissions. It looks like we may be coming in second if everything holds up and we have submitted everything.

    Its a bummer that we got so close to winning. Heck if I would've shot my second buck first then that would've almost given us enough inches to win :)

    Born2Hunt I went through and calculated up every single deer in the contest. Check out the "unofficial standings" thread that I started here in the contest. It shows all the scores.

    Ok looks like Fitz is going through the scorecard.


    SharpEyeSam get on your post and write what time you shot the spike so it can count.
