Ravin R10 man Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 we are soon to be in 1st place with 83 pts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Went yesterday after work, kinda late getting to the stand, but it's the final 7 days. Saw nothing. Weather is still crap after the tornadoes passed through the region last weekend, it's still too freakin hot and more bad weather tonight predicted. Will try to go as much as possible to hopefully get a little luck late in the game, but it's not looking hopeful. I'll actually be kinda glad come Feb 1, I sure am ready to get this season behind me, it's been a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkneck Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 May not last long, we'll see. Went out yesterday and saw a couple does. Went ahead and took doe #5 gonna try to hunt as much as i can but not looking good. Sorry I couldn't pull my weight this year, just wasn't in the cards I guess. Been fun though, good to see some of you had some success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 until somebody posts a buck we got it..second place is the 1st loser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) There is now weight to be pulled John. Its all in the spirit of teamwork and fun. Just a few of us are luckier than you this year. No doubt few worked as hard as you have. It isn't suppose to be like work. It is suppose to be fun. Congrats on a great season. We had a lot of posts here which makes it that much better. Edited January 26, 2012 by PotashRLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I agree 100% Tracy. Seems like every year in the RT contests you have folks that post not one time. Last year seems like we had 2 that never made a post. Why even put your name in the hat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I agree... Red, you have sat out there more days then I usually do per year.

Mirage Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I had a great time too guys, sorry I rode you red about posting your doe. Just wanted to get up on the board in fist place. Sometimes its ok not to get a buck down because it sure make you appreciate the the next one you get and Im sure you will get a nice one next year. And congrats to the rest of the team. Perhaps next year we could ask the powers that be that if someone who signs up on a team dosnt respond by a certain date to have them removed from the team before season, just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 No apology needed, I shoulda posted her up front. I guess after so many years taking decent bucks I just don't worry about entering them, along with our liberal season of 16 weeks and 5 does. But it wont happen again, next year I'm carrying pencil and paper and taking a pic of the first big fat nanny I get a pass through on opening weekend.... lol (good Lord willing). I did get my freezer full, 3 bow does, no misses, no lost deer, 2 pw does all spread over 3 counties, my lease and some private and family land. Went out today and only saw one buck, last legal shooting light, came out at 20 yards and I could not get a shot at him (a little thick there) he was a young 2.5 y/o 4pt really tall, brow tines not scoreable but I would have shot him on that little 48 acre tract today if he would have stepped out better. I caught myself grinning from ear to ear on the way back to the truck thinking how much your heartbeat can accelerate when you want to shoot something, but any other time it never misses a beat just looking at them. That's what I love so much about bowhunting, it only takes a doe at close range to get me going, hope I never lose that. Will be back at it in the morning, going to my lease, have to step up the rack size a tad, but will give it another shot. Season closes Tuesday, days are getting long, just hope to find a buck trying to pack in some calories in a plot after the rut. We'll see how it goes.

Hunt or be Hunted Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I had a great time this year team. Sorry I was only able to get a doe. Better then something for me though. I'm glad I got a little meat in the freezer. We've had our ups and downs here, That's for sure. Hopefully we keep first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointing_dogs_rule Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Hey Red: You're like me..... if I don't get a buck, I usually don't post the doe well into January. I feel it's kinda like "bad karma" to post that doe.... "KNOWING" that I'm gonna get that buck. Who on our team did not respond?? good luck to all the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Good to know im not the only one. Plus i like to come from behind, when youre out front youre a target haha. Saw four does this morning. Heard one grunting and chasing up the rridge but never showed himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Who on our team did not respond?? Shane B was on a couple times that I saw but never posted up anything..although he did shoot a doe early on..he never took a photo.. last checked in at Thanksgiving,...then he kinda dropped off the map.. hope he didnt think we gave him the cold shoulder, he did mention he was busy at work Edited January 29, 2012 by Mathews XT Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkV Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Well My doe helped a little fella's but I never got a crack at a dandy buck. Unfortunatly for my teams I only shoot large bucks now as I have enough nice ones on the wall lol. Looks like we have first for now though, way to go everyone!

redkneck Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 They were really moving this morning, first weekend day in many I didn't hunt, but I've about thrown in the towel. Will probably go Tuesday just to say I capped it off. Good morning, all my buds saw deer. Read this thread for a summary of the 12pt I had on cam and his near demise: http://www.realtree.com/forums/deer-hunting/107679-last-weekend-drama-short-sweet.html#post1290533 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetro Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wow guys we managed sneak into the lead. If we hold off, this will be my second time on a winning team. Good Work to everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Well maybe it will hold. Never won but have made it to 2nd. On the stand now, getting too warm but had to go one last time. Maybe I'll get lucky but I doubt it. Cant kill one on the couch or at my desk at work either though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Saw nothing. Pretty lousy season, but had some fun and filled the freezer. Glad to be on such a great team, lets do it again next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 You should probably get the 110% award. And I agree, it was fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'd give it one last shot this afternoon, but I know my wife has had her fill of it a long time ago, lol. Got to look forward to next year, and hopefully a good turkey encounter or two in between. I got to work harder next year, more stands, more trail cams out in late summer, maybe a couple more mineral sites. Something just isn't going right for us on our 1,500 acres, seem to be backing up in buck quality/quantity. I'll probably go out this weekend close to my house and start working on baiting hogs, maybe I can post one or two in the bow room in a month or so.

Hunt or be Hunted Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well I was reading on the guys that are in 2nd places thread, And 1 still has to upload his buck, But has not been on lately, So keep your fingers crossed!
