Thanks guys. What a way to end a 7 year drought. One doe on October 7 and then double up with a doe and an 8 point on October 12. Got us some points at least!

Doubled up! Bowhntr, Team 15. 8 point buck and doe. UPDATED THROUGH HERE

I don't hunt here locally near the house. Just not worth it any more with our lack of managment. I'm waiting until early October when my vacation kicks in and I head down to the eastern part of the state. I plan to be in a tree on the evening of October 5th

All public. I tried to get some stuff going on the family farm land a few years ago but poaching and other BS made it not worth the trouble. Other than that experiment there I have not hunted private land since 1996.

I love the banner! Only three weeks to go for me and it will be time to git r' done!

The screen name speaks for itself here...LOL;)

I'm good with Team THWACK....any other ideas?

OK team. Lets get some serious bone on the ground! What are everyone's plans for this season? I'll be hunting south central Iowa and eastern North Carolina. Anybody got any ideas for a team name?

Just wondering.....believe me I know how much work it is....I'm doing the same thing on another forum as we speak.

I see where all the team threads have been started but, where is the list of who is on what team? If they haven't been drawn yet then I apologize!

I disagree. Pit strategy MIGHT work and then only on a few of the tracks. Most of the bigger tracks one can make a green flag stop WITHOUT loosing a lap (or letting someone gain one). The new double file restarts, which I LOVE, virtually eliminate any opportunity of a car racing their way back on. Like I said, I think a car multpile laps down even if they are the first car down should NOT get the pass and I could even agree with limiting the number of free passes to each car to one or two. That way you do away with a car that is not fast enough to run with the front and keeps falling off, but allow someone who makes a pit mistake or has plug wire come off to get the lap back and have a chance. Also, one can look at it from a standpoint of Bristol, Richmond and even some of the 1 1/2 milers. The lucky dog does allow more cars to be on the lead lap at the end to make for a better finish. Remember Atlanta in the spring? When one teams pit error on the FIRST green flag stops caused a caution and trapped almost the entire field a lap down,leaving only NINE cars on the lead lap 50 laps into the race? What about that? At least the lucky dog brought it back to where there were 15 cars on the lead lap at the end.

Kenseth's primary sponor will be Crown Royal. That now leaves Jamie McMurray out in the cold!

It is really a double edged sword. There has got to be some way for cars to have an opportunity to get a lap back. So do we let them race back to the line? From a safety stand point I'd say no. The double file restarts have eliminated any chance of racing your way back on. The "no pit wave around" doesn't really help unless there is a caution in the first two or three green flag laps after the restart. So, that leaves the "lucky dog". I see no problem with letting the first car ONE lap down come back around and rejoin the tail of the lead lap. However, I do think that once you are multiple laps (2 or more) down, regardless of if you are the first car lapped, you should not get the pass. One other thing to think about is that the only track I've ever seen a car multiple laps down come back and finish strong on is POCONO! So what does that say about that race track? I could see the same situation at Daytona or 'Dega but I can't remember it ever having happened.

Go with the 308 and be done with it. The 243, and 7mm-08 are 308 cases necked to smaller caliber bullets. The 308 will offer you much more versatility than the 243 plus a good bit more umph when it hits.
