***Team 24 - Boneheads***

I just made a signature. Uploading it to BH.com destroyed the quality, sorry.

 

Having a hard time with "Boneheads". Another idea....

 

Updated the signature a little. What do you think?

 

It took me a moment to figure out what the black shapes were at the top. I need coffee. I am impartial.... Meaning its all right. Let's see what the others think.

 

I do like the idea of having the states in there.

 

So here are some bucks I have had around. I am still on the fence about what I would do if given an encounter with some of these guys.

Public Ten
This guy is living on some public in eastern SoDak. This will be my first time hunting this ground. With a massive EHD kill last year, there have been significantly less rifle tags given out for this area so I should have this piece to myself. He has been hanging around since the end of July and I get him on camera a couple times a week. I would definitely arrow him. I am thinking he would go in the mid 130s.

 

Hatchery Eight
I am still on the fence about this deer. I am thinking he will look pretty thin once the velvet drops. This deer lives on the ground that I am able to hunt during the school week, so that gives me an advantage. He wouldn't score great, probably around 120. He has been a pretty consistent deer.

 

Hatchery Kicker
This young guy has been my most popular deer. He didn't put on as much growth as I hoped for in the last month, so I will probably pass on him. He should be a fun deer next year. I say that now, but I can't promise he would get to walk by if he shows up while I'm on stand.

 

Good to hear your taking roll Heck. Sginature looks good to me maybe scoot the head just a touch back so its not so off center looking on the shoulders? Sorry to nit pick
Thats a good looking buck for public land boof.
youngfart must be nice to have a chance with not just one but two booners, what i would do to have just one

 

Solo Horn
Here is another public land buck. So this guy would probably make the Fergie Clause. I would definitely shoot him. Let me explain why...
South Dakota is very liberal with their deer tags. You can get two archery buck tags, one for east of the Missouri River and one for west of the Missouri River. This will be my first year getting a west river tag, since I live in southeastern South Dakota. I am making a trip to this piece of ground the last weekend of October, so there will only be about a three day window of hunting out there for me. I would love to arrow this deer for my first west river tag. And at the end of the day, I would still have my east river buck tag!
I think this solo horned buck is a kick *** looking deer. I would be proud to take him.

 

Random Bucks
Here are some deer I would love to get a crack at, but I don't get them on camera often. The first one is a deer that was on the stuff that I can hunt during the week. He looks like a brute.


The second deer is one that was just on my west river camera. He was there a couple hours before I checked my camera the other day, so hopefully that is the start of him showing up more often. The picture isnt great, but when I zoom in you can see he is a big 8 pointer.

 

Well boys, now you know everything about my trail camera activity. I would love to be able to share pictures like youngfart! But my public land opportunities mostly offer a slough of basket racks. To go along with that, all the areas I hunt were slammed by EHD last year. I found three deer that would have gone over 130 inches on some private ground I hunt, that hurt to see.

 

Not good at all. Great bucks too by the way.

 

The signature looks good. Like the idea of showing where everyone is from. Good pics.

 

Nice pics boof! Sorry to hear about the disease killing off some deer in your area.

 

Nice bucks and sig boof. Love the states we represent as well.

 

I can make the sig pretty much any color we want. What does everyone prefer? Once I get a final copy, I will post it for everyone to save.

I could make a camo version, or we could even each have individual colors. You guys make the call.

 

Here is a camo version. The deer head is also moved back. Sorry about that blue in some of the lettering. I have tried like heck to get rid of it, but can't.



This version has the signature kind of blend in with the white background of the forum. I prefer this one.

 

I like it boof. My trailcams have been soaking for a month hopefully i'll get a chance to check em soon! Will post some pics when I can.

 

I like the new one!
