    All we need now is for Justin to accept the nomination and he'll be the captain .

    Noticed we have a couple of Eastern Oklahoma team members . What part of Eastern Oklahoma are you all from ? I grew up in Collinsville and hunted a lot of years around Claremore (Virdigrees River bottoms) . I go back every once in a while and hunt with friends at the Cherokee Wildlife Management area north of Fort Gibson . Missed a 180" buck last time I was there (3 years ago) .... nobodies perfect :)

    :lol: Man, you guys are ganging up on me! I'll gladly accept the nomination as Captain so long as one of you promises to kill the biggest buck on the team. I don't want that burden too.

    And I'll definitely give some shout outs to my brothers on Team 31 this year. Everything I do, I do for you guys.

    Sorry it took me so long, been super busy with work and also baiting for my first bear season that starts on 9/4. Also just wanted to let you know that I do have some dandy bucks coming in this year. I have a double main beam with a drop tine, I think he will score around the 140" mark. Also a few other nice bucks aswell.

    I will be hunting in Wisconsin. Here is the #1 buck on my hitlist so far.

    He had some time to grow since I took these pics. I have pics from him early in the spring also.

    Woah, that's a sweet buck! Loving that double main beam. It'll be interesting to see what he looks like when the velvet comes off.

    This is one of my main targets for this fall - Joe Dirt

    Well, if you kill that buck you could very well be captain and kill the biggest buck! That's a dandy!

    Those are some nice pics , almost makes me wish I had some to share but I don't run any cams . I do go out and have a look at some of the bucks from a distance and snap pics with the truck cam (camera that rides in the truck) . I'll post some up if I get any to turn out decent .

    Can't make any promises on shooting the largest buck but I do have the potential . Only problem I have is I can't seem to pass the first 3.5-4.5 year old that excites me and I don't see that ending anytime soon :)

    I have not got out to check my cameras yet this year. Here is a pic of my #1 12pt from a year ago who was not put down that I know of. I got pics of him the last two years and can only hope he shows up again this year. This pic was last Sept. and the date is wrong. I will also share a good video over a scrape dripper I got of another nice buck who is hopefully back this year. Third is an up and comer working the same scrape who might be a shooter this year if he is back. I have several more other pics and videos of different good bucks from last year, so I am excited to check my cameras and see what is in store for this year.

    I got to keep him on my property somehow ;) ha jk...I never noticed that until you mentioned it. Must be the angle of the camera. It is just a normal fence 4ft or so.

    Yowza! That buck's a freaking giant. Definitely hoping you can put a tag on him this fall.

    I updated my Hit List last night with some new/better photos. This is all off the same farm, which is a new 275 acre lease we just got this year. I have no history with these deer and have no clue how to hunt this farm so it will be interesting to see how things pan out. If nothing else I'll have fun chasing these boys come October.

    You guys have lots of trail cam pics of bucks.

    Too bad you won't put any of them down. :evilgrin:
