Looks like we have a great team in the making here.
There are a couple of things that we need to do to get this team up and running as soon as possible:
1) Please check in, as you do I will bold your name to keep track of who is in.
2) We need to nominate a team captain.
3) We need to start thinking of a team name. No name is a bad name so throw it out there.
4) Introduce yourselves to your new teammates.
-Have a great season!

 

My name is Shannon and I will be hunting throughout the state of Nebraska. I work for a construction company and spend a lot of time traveling but when I am home I get out and hunt as much as possible. Our season starts Sept. 15 and I have been ready to hunt a month ago.

 

What's up dudes?? My name is Justin and I plan on killing a pile of deer this fall. I'll be spending a limited amount of time in Wisconsin during the early season before focusing most of my efforts here in IL. I've got about a dozen bucks on the hit list right now so I'm hoping I figure out how to shoot straight and manage to kill one of them.

Hey guys my name is Johnny and I'm ready to have some fun with this . Have no clue as to a team name or captain so whatever works for you all works for me .

 

My names Bryan. I'll spend majority of my time hunting a local park that's never been hunted before doing depopulation efforts for the county. I do a weeklong camp in the national forest, in between those times I'll be supplementing my hunting at my cabin. With my spots to hunt I should be able to put down a doe and and a decent buck the good lord willing

 

Whats up? Name is Jeff. This is my second season on here. No bucks last year but this year that is going to change.

Looks like we've still got a few fellers who need to check in. Once we get everybody here we'll start worrying about a team name and captain.

In the meantime I need you all to start doing a rain dance so my fall food plots grow. 10+ days without any rain and nothing in the foreseeable future is NOT good!

 

Don't have any food plots but we are definitely in need of some rain . This is the 2nd year in a row that the farmers in my area have struggled to grow a crop .

 

Where abouts do you hunt Shannon? Ill be heading out to Fairbury this November for 9-10 days..

 

I have been down by Nebraska City hunting a couple times. I haven't had any luck but a buddy has done great in that area. I hunt north of Lincoln NE for early season then head out to Bassett NE when rifle season starts. There are too many hunters out in north east Nebraska as soon as rifle starts so I try to avoid the area.

 

Here in Nebraska everything looks great compared to last year. We lost a lot of deer do to the EHD outbreak. The Game and Parks have cut down the number of permits this year to let them recover a little. I haven't seen any monsters this year but still have seen a couple bucks that I would consider shooting.

 

Hey everyone! My name is Dustin and I will be hunting in northern Illinois. I can't wait for October and am ready for a great season this year!

 

Hey guys! My name is Hunter and I'll be hunting in northeastern Oklahoma. I'll be hunting two family owned properties (55 acres and 100 acres) and possibly on a neighboring ranch. October 1st can't get here soon enough!

So between myself, crxwolski and buckjeezy I believe we've got Northern Illinois thoroughly covered.

 

I am not as far north as you guys but not too far. I hunt in La Salle and Grundy Counties.

 

We will have to see were everyone else is located but it looks like we have central United States covered.

Justin-You having any chance of rain in the future for your plots?

 

Some good deer down in that area! I'm primarily Lake, McHenry and JoDaviess counties.

There's a 30% chance of some spotty showers today but other than that NOTHING. It's looking like I may give up hope on the brassicas and broadcast some Buck Forage Oats come the 1st week of September. If the brassicas aren't up by now chances are they won't get big enough to provide much food by frost.

 

Ok. Not everyone's here yet but do we have any ideas for a team name? We don't have to decide yet.
