    What’s up teammates! Lots of names that I recognize from the forum but not a lot of any that I’ve ever been on a team with. As always I’m looking forward to get to know everyone!

    I’m Mitch from SW Michigan where I do 90% of my hunting all on private permission properties. This year seems to be shaping up nicely. As we check in here I can edit the names on the list.

    Fsh, how is the hunting on PAX? I never tried it, did not like some of the checkin/out rules................they always seemed a little wonky to me.

    Let me tell you I have hunted many bases during my 20 yrs. You are right they were always different and a pain in the ass.

    Sliverflicker checking in. Looks like a great Team! Name is John, and I'll be hunting Michigan, Kentucky and maybe Southern MD with my son Zeb (Rutnutt) later in the season.

    Mornin yall,
    The season can’t get here fast enough. UGH.
    Getting lots of deer on camera in Kansas. Mostly 3 yr olds 120-140. I’m hunting family ground. Soybeans, milo. Corn and alfalfa. Looks like a good year.

    Dave - I hunt the Indian Head Navy Base. We've had a trophy buck management program for ~30yrs, so the opportunity is there for 140/160 class bucks. Still it's a pita with the rules, but I was there when we wrote the rules - necessary for bowhunting to get established (1989) vs sharpshooters culling the herd...

    We’ve got one to go gentleman.

    Russ you can say that again! I cannot wait to start hunting, seems to get worse and worse every year. I'm fairly prepared this year, just have one more property to check stands on Monday morning with my BIL and next week I’m going to put a couple small kill plots in, getting some clover and chicory established and topping it off with some forage oats to have some browse for this year.

    Since we’ve only got one more to check in does anyone have any ideas for names and a fearless leader?

    Picked up the bow yesterday from getting new strings put on and having new arrows built, and it’s absolutely driving tacs!

    Stopped a one of my properties yesterday evening to check on the plots I sprayed last week and they’re looking pretty nice and dead, going to get seed put in the ground this week hopefully.

    Might get to a small piece close to home today check a couple cams with my boys. Deer seem to be shifting a little into fall ranges a little bit as acorns are starting to drop so hopeful for a a new buck or 2 on these few cams.

    What’s everyone else been up to?
