    Public Opinion I know your not from IL DCthebowhunter! IL is messed up! Best thing in Illinois is Deer hunting but I think IOWA is fixing to blow away IL if it has not already done so. I was just in Nashville over the weekend. Purchased a new trailer in Lebanon TN.

    sorry everyone, been away on a family vacation to Maine the last 5 days... just getting back into reality now.
    I'm good with any team name... I'll go with the majority.
    Still now big bucks on cams yet... so maybe the Fergie Clause will apply to me! haha... I don't care though.. I shoot my fair share of both!

    some nice bucks on cam fellas!
    Nice having some big buck area hunters on the team!!!
    it's pretty crappy hunting around here... any legal buck is a good buck... Hoping Western NY proves to be good this year.
    I've taken these bucks there in the past:

    I think Western MA would make a fine Captain.

    On the name I'll suggest another...

    Very nice bucks western.
    I'm good with any options for the team name or captain, they all sound good and I've got nothing better to offer.
    Cam check yesterday around home was real weak. Was hoping to see some of the nicer ones again but none of them. Maybe a smaller 8, and a few forks and spikes. I'm not holding back on any this year so has a good chance to be a Fegie year. Still have a few cams at least to hope for too

    I'll take captain if need be... but if someone else wants it, it's all yours!
    Let's get a final poll on team names. We are just missing one member at this point.

    I like bowvember reign.

    I am not on often enough to be a captain. So I'm OK to agree with whoever you all decide on. Seems like western wants the job and others have already voted. So I'll give him my vote as well. Gonna check cameras next weekend for first time this summer. I'll have some pics.

    Sorry I have not been here the past couple days. Been a rough few days for me. I had to watch my duck hunting buddy and his wife say their final goodbyes to their 19 month old son! I ask that you all hold your kids and grand-kids tight and say some prayers for my buddy. Their son was born with a spinal disease that was not able to be corrected. What a sad deal and boy was it hard to take due to my Granddaughter being the same age! So please say some prayers for them and give all of your family some love.

    Dawg, Very sorry to hear about your friend... that is heartbreaking... certainly will be thinking of the family.
    Life is very precious. I am so very thankful for my 10 & 12 year old daughters' health and things like that make you step back and re evaluate things and how lucky we really are.
    Definitely more important than the bucks we have on camera, what we harvest, etc...

    Sorry to hear about your buddy's son. That's a horrible thing for anyone to go through. I was reading your post while having breakfast with my 17 month old son. My stomach just twisted with it. He had a troubled early birth and several weeks in the go hospital strengthening up. I couldn't imagine losing him. When it was sketchy when he was born it was insanely scary and I couldn't imagine after only bonding more over time. Best wishes to your buddy and his family, and yourself and ones around him. That's definitely hard on anyone close too

    Looks like coming in nice. I gotta check on mine again soon. Hoping they're coming along better than they were but still time. Some hits and misses for this year with them

    Well, went and pulled down my trail cameras! One was all the way under water and we have been getting pounded with rain this week. River and creeks way out of banks!
