    I see your team is all checked in. Are you officially the captain?

    Yes I believe so and I think we are going to go with The Effing 15 but waiting to hear from a couple others for sure.

    Personally, not a fan of Effing 15. But if it’s what the majority wants, I’ll roll with it.
    My vote would be “15 yards from Death”

    Btw, I try to approach things like Colin Powell who said, “When we are debating an issue, I want your honest opinion, whether you think I’ll like it or not. But when a decision has been made, loyalty means supporting it as if it were your own.”

    So I’ll support whatever the group chooses.

    I'll wait to hear from Holt, farmer rick, airenlow, and Beavertronic but I think majority is going with The Effing 15. Either one is fine with me. Also @LittleChief are we doing a groupchat for team captains again like we did last year?

    NO! If a question or situation comes up we’ll handle it via pm. Last year it turned into a regular full time chat with my phone blowing up constantly so I along with a few others just bailed out before the season even got started.

    I posted this in the Smacktalk thread, but I'm going to post it in every team thread so no one misses it:

    I want to take a minute and clarify a rule in the contest and emphasize the importance of getting your required two different photos with the buck, the bow and you in the pics for entry on the Official Scorecard. The rules read:

    Scoring system will be as follows:

    Each participant is allowed to enter ONE antlered deer as their “Buck Score”. This must be the FIRST antlered deer that you harvest during the season.

    We had an instance last season where someone in the contest killed a buck but failed to get pictures of the buck. This not only resulted in the buck not being counted towards the team total (of course), but also prevented him from entering another buck killed later. ONLY the first buck you kill can be entered, so make sure you don't make the mistake of not getting TWO good pics that have you, the bow and the buck in them.

    Yeah whatever you guys want to do, group text or a group chat through a app. Whatever works best for everybody.

    I’m also good with a group text or a getting WhatsApp. If we go with WhatsApp I guess I will have to remember my password…making me feel old. Plus it is easier to share pics and such on WhatsApp because it won’t matter if someone has an iPhone or android.

    We’ve used GroupMe before on teams in the past and that one works good too
