    Yes, each contestant can score 1 doe for 50 points...only 1 doe each, and your first buck of the season.

    I'm going to be real optimistic and say 140 for a buck + 50 for a doe = 190. My vote is for "chasin' tail" but looks like I'm outvoted so Rack Smackers it is.

    That looks like a good buck to start us out there buckmaster! Everyone have private land or public?

    Alright guys, this is the first draft. If you like it, I can make personalized ones with each of the teammates names. Let me know what you think. Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings;)

    Private ground:
    30 acres with our Cabin (Dad's place)...borders non-hunting state ground
    35 acres that me and Dad co-own, right down gravel road from cabin
    60+ acres that a few can hunt right across interstate from town (can see Sam's, Walmart, Menards, Home Depot, etc...) so it's only for 2-3 quick after work hunts (did shoot my first deer ever there so has sentimental value)

    Public ground:
    2200 acre State Park that is right by our cabin almost solid timber with deep ravines that scare other hunters away.
    another 2200 acre State Park about 9 miles from our cabin...hunted more heavily so i only put a few hunts in there - but have seen some dandy's there over the years.

    My buck will most likely come from our 35 acres that I spend 70% of my time hunting...or possibly the 2200 big timber park.

    ...Man I'm excited to get out!

    I also do have some 35 acres of public land that does not get a whole lot of pressure not to far from my house, but IF I do hunt it, it will be once or twice.

    This will be one of the bucks I will be after this year, The only way I can kill this buck is out of a ground blind, and that is the only way, the property owner is not allowing any hunting out of tree stands this year due to insurance companys...I do have a couple of natural ground blinds on this property that are ready to go!

    I have a hidden spot behind my house that no one goes to and it was never hunted. I just found it this year it is only a couple acres worth of hunting but all my pics that I have posted have come from there. I also have about 25 acres of land that I hunt that is public but no one likes hunting there because it is a haul to get to a decent spot. Last year I made that haul and I ended up missing the biggest buck that I ever seen in archery before.

    Hunting parcelwise. I hunt all private.

    My main piece is 65 acres near my house with near sole access.

    185 acre cabin ground, It's my family's, but all my buddies hunt it with me on the weekend. I don't get real serious there.

    71 acre sole access piece, I share it with some gun hunters, I only hunt it sparingly throughout the year.

    9 aces at my parents house. It's a nanny wacking paradise.

    Ok, guys. I have the personalized final designs for each of you (Ben requested a slight change, so here it is). Do me a favor, and save your particular avatar to your computer (right click and choose "save image as"), then upload it that way. I'm going to clear these off my photobucket account in a few days and that will alleviate any issues of them not showing up anymore once I do that. Here you guys go:
