    JZ, Germ and Frank... Team Sexy.

    I have no plans to go back to Campbell's anytime soon. I will sell some kidneys and try to get back over to Brown Co.. Otherwise, I'm doing the public land thing.

    If you can find a buck with scales on it, Christine will kill it. :rock: I think fish slime makes good cover scent!!

    You should hunt the public land in Brown Co. I hear they kill some good ones out of Buckhorn every year. Residents only, and archery only. Can't be that bad!

    Yep, I pretty much wing it when I get down there. IMO unless you have the perfect piece of property and a whitetail that's really willing to cooperate it's pretty tough to "pattern" a deer come October. Now if our season opened in September, that would be another story.

    I personally believe that if you focus in on current sign at the time in conjunction with known travel routes based on time of year/weather/wind/food and you can be successful anywhere.

    At least that's what I keep telling myself. :D

    JZ, I've thought about hitting Buckhorn but it's a bit of a haul for a day hunt. The other thing is the terrain is kind of tough. If I got a mature buck out there, it might take me days to get it out.
    (It took me 2 hours to get a 2.5 year old buck across a CRP field and into my truck. :( )

    Maybe I'll hunt down there when you're in the same county. You'd help a teammate drag out a deer, right?? ;)

    1 week, 2 days til opener here. I should be able to get out and have a good chance at a doe. Pulled the cam and had tons of does and only a few small bucks. It would be great to have another cold snap like this past weekend.

    As far as team names suggested so far, I like

    Inglorious Archers and 10 Angery Archers.

    Also are we picking a captain?

    I'll make a vote for The Big Deals. After all I have many leather bound books and my office smells of rich mahogany.
