    Kinda introduced myself earlier. As said I hunt west central IL, Morgan County specifically.

    Uncle succumbed to cancer this past June and has a 70 acre paradise of hardwoods and ridges that I am fortunate to hunt. It will be staying with his family, but not sure how much of the 4 wheeler trails and small fields will be kept up with. I don't have the means to do it myself, but will definitely be something I look into in the future.

    I don't really get to scout out of season or have an inventory of what is around, I never see mature bucks outside of the rut but I always see at least one slammer within striking distance. Doesn't always go my way, but every now and again luck swings my way.

    This year will be emotional for me, especially that first sit and if I'm fortunate enough to put one down.

    A few from the past

    Hey team. Checking in from MN. It’s my second year in the contest and am looking forward to contributing to our team this year. I am seeing some good bucks on trail cam and can’t wait until the season starts.

    Merlinbyler hasn't logged on since July 23rd. He was on a team last year so hopefully he will be along shortly.

    Might as well start talking about team names, capatain etc...

    Thinking we would have 12 members I had a name to suggest, but not many c9me to mind right now.

    3 Bladed Death Punch

    Conquerer's of 3(implying we'll topple team 3 this year)


    I'll try to think of a few more


    As far as captain, if someone wants it feel free to speak up. If not I will do it, have been captain the past 6 or 7 seasons. No big deal either way.

    Anyone else have ideas?

    Always fun to think up team names, mainly because all the funny names ones a person can think of. I'll throw a few off the top of my head. Like, laugh at, or just hate. Wont hurt my feelings, ha.

    cls74 for captain!!! Team name makes no difference to me, whatever you guys come up with will be good. Wouldn't bother me at all if we were just "Team 8", lol.

    I’m good with Cls74 for captain. I don’t really care much about the name.
    I’m good with “typical 8s” or another option is “Rack Stackers”
