By the way im 28 years old been hunting for a few years and I love bowhunting! I took my first buck last year. I live in MA and hunt on public land. I won a doe permit this year and have 2 antlered. Not alot of deer up here but I do what I gotta do to find them. Opening day for me is the 2nd week of October. Can't wait!
Infantryoif checking in! I'm 29, married and no kids but not a lot of time to hunt due to college. Sorry guys. I usually get myself within bow range of deer when i do hit the woods, though. I'd like to think it's more than just luck! Good hunting to everyone
Ben checking in. John's gonna net us about 225 points this year. How bout Ant. Farm Make a nice rack growing out of the dirt with few corn stalks around it.
flopdrop - checking in. All within Illinois this year. 300+ acres southern Monroe County along the mighty Mississippi.Un-huntable the past 3 years due to high water not looking to promising early on, maybe things will pick up when all the crops are harvested. I will be focusing most of my season on Public Land in Brown & Adams County's (Siloam Springs State Park & The Buckhorn Unit). I just turned 49 but when it comes to bowhunting I'm like a little kid in a candy store. I'm for the grizzled veteran "jmbuckhunter" as our captain. Team Names: Like "Pope and Very Young" or just "Hope and Young" "Death from Above" "Whack'em & Stack'em" "The Bloody Dozen" if i counted team members correctly.
Check in Boys Stacy Morton (Rut Junkie), I guess I am the old guy here....LOL. I have been bow hunting for 37 years. As always I am ready to start hunting now!! We have 4 buck from 140 to 180 using our deer lease (The Bone Yard) and when the rut hits any size deer can come through our area. The area i hunt in Illinois somebody has shot a 200 + deer every year for the last 6 years. I am working to be that hunter this year....cross my fingers and pray to the deer gods.....LOL. Really I am looking forward to just have a fun bow season. I will be hunting in Neb and IL this year. Good lucky to all!!!
Thats a pretty cool idea. I could do that. Hey guys, post your best rack pic. I'll choose the best one to make an avatar.
As far as team captain I also nominate JMBH. He has seniority on the forum and knowing so many of the guys and how this competition works I think that makes him the best fit.
Sounds good to me, though he may want to be off the hook this season Sent from my phone. Spelling was not a priority.
Im all for Junkie or JMBH as the captain. As the captain, it is required you kill a 180+ inch whitey. The list is updated, looks like we are waiting on two fellas. Other team names: Nockers Deerpocalypse Rack Pack Gut Pile I do like "Ant Farm"
I'll throw the Captain Hat Ben/PA's direction. I do believe he's run a team or two before. I'm good with any name you guys want. We can win with whatever we are called.
Here ya go Kyle. This will give you some to choose from. By the way, I'm partial to drop tines if one of those work out.
Not exactly. The trail cam pics are all from my property over the last few years. The top buck is my first bow buck back in 1996. The middle bucks were at the Iowa Deer Classic and the bottom one "The Chad Goetten Buck" was killed a few miles from my place, he scored 236+.
Alright boys, lets do a little voting. Here is the list of suggested team names so far: Lethal Injection Just Passing Through Pope and Very Young Bone Stackers Predators Team Bloodshed 18 and Life Hope and Young Whack’ em Stack ‘em Ant Farm Nockers Deerpocalypse Rack Pack Gut Pile Bloody Dozen List of suggested captains: Ben/PA jmbuckhunter Rut Junkie How should we vote? List your top three team names and your one vote for captain? Dont be afraid to throw in something that isnt listed for our team name or captain.
