    Bought an Elite E35 back in March and I am dying to draw back on a deer with it, love that thing.

    I'm still using the equipment in my sig. I don't buy new stuff very often, especially if it gets the job done. I need to take it in and get new strings put on it, these are frayed a little bit but still functional.

    On another note...pulled cards here at home this morning, pretty uneventful for the most of the four cameras but finished on a pretty big finale. Had these two fellas near the end of the last card and I'm pretty happy to see them both. I had these two here last year as 3 year olds. They both disappeared during gun season and I feared a neighbor nailed them. The nice ten did NOT have that freaking ginormous drop tine on his right side last year! :lol:

    Those are some great bucks guys! I haven't even put my cams out yet so I have no clue what my area is holding this year.

    I wouldn't get new equipment often, but my dad runs an archery shop in AZ and sends me all these freebies. I usually get a giant box of deer pee every year about this time too...the mother in law thinks we're super redneck!

    I'm basically hunting two deer and that's it this year. My number one is the one with the split brows.

    Yep.
    Does are pretty important, that's 600 points without any bucks. Team 4 last year won on 1196 points. 12 does and three 200" bucks should be enough to win so get to work guys. :lol:

    Good to see you around! The new pup is doing great, growing like a weed. She has her first vet appointment tomorrow afternoon, gotta get her on the heartworm pills and all that.

    Thanks man, but I'd love to hunt Kansas! This is by far the biggest deer I've ever hunted. I'm hoping I don't screw it up, :lol:

    Worrying about it is the surest way to screw it up, just go out and have fun and don't worry about it too much. At least half of the game is dumb luck anyway, lol.
