Team 4....Tagged Out

No more buck tags for me - I'm tagged out! LOL

This 10 pointer fooled me. I thought he was a lot older due to all the points. I'm thinking he's 2.5 years old. Wish I had let him go another year, but when one has to make a quick decision at 100 yards in thick cover... Still it was a clean kill, an additional 2 points for our team, and the additional roasts will make great Christmas presents.

Fly, you gotta learn to long arm a buck like that! Ha nothing wrong with him at all.... Congrats!

I've been hunting my butt off since Saturday morning. 12-1, 3-dark the first three days. My target buck walked directly under my stand mid-day Sunday but I couldn't make it happen. He snuck in on me and I didn't take the chance of standing up, drew after he passed by but never quartered enough for me to slip an arrow in. Shot doe #2 this morning. Going to warm up and rain for a few days, then another cold front comes through. I look for the rut to break loose with that cold front.

I checked and we are in 2nd to last place! Ruth (turkeygirl) has a nine point, and I believe several does still need to go in.

Not that it really matters (LOL). I'm done for the year and would like to say thanks to all on our team for playing. Each year I have a lot of fun with these contests and this year was no different. Happy Holiday's to all on team 4!

Team #4 total = 37 points

Man I had a real close call with a beautiful buck yesterday. Had him at 86 yards but I had my shotgun with buckshot and didn't feel like taking that long a shot on such a nice buck. He looked like a 10pt with a couple stickers. Probably close to 20" outside. Real long 2's and 3's. Probably a 145"-150" buck. Killed me to not take the shot but I couldn't take a chance wounding that deer even with my setup. (custom full choke tube and handloaded buckshot that's super hot!) I think it was the same buck I saw in bow season that was just out of bow range too. I sure hope to get a closer encounter with that buck soon... it would really boost our point total! Not to mention look great on my wall!!! lol

btw Kevin... good luck today in FF man. Ironic that we end up playing each other in the semi's.

Yep...after that trade proposal my RB's went to crap. Might be a close matchup if Peterson returns to form. But if he lays an egg then I'm fried! LOL

Good luck!

Edit: watching the Saints/Vikes game and I can tell how my day is going to go. Hope you win it all bud!

Yeah, Stafford and Bush really had great 4th quarters. I left to go hunting at 2 and thought I had already lost!

Sunday evening was my only hunt this weekend but I ended up seeing 11 deer. All of them does, but although I've never witnessed it, I've heard that the yearling doe normally go in heat late, so you can bet I'll be in my stand Saturday morning and all day Monday hoping a buck decides to check them out.

Good luck to all and Merry Christmas!

Well Merry Christmas team! Got a dozen carbon arrows the year - very happy. Anyone know if you're supposed to glue the inserts, or do you just push them in with the plastic tool they provide? You can tell it's been a few years since I've bought arrows!

All the arrows that I've put together required a dab of glue on the inserts. I know my pin nocks only need a small piece of plastic to keep them seated, but all the inserts require glue.

I have 5 more days left in my season. I'm hoping to get Friday off to hunt the last 2 days. I'm going to try to shoot at least a doe because I need one for the freezer. Hope it happens. I passed on a decent 7pt on Saturday but a huge buck was suppose to be with it but it must have gone a different way. It wasn't a shooter but one of our guest shot him thinking it was bigger. We did see 3 monsters so I'm still holding out hope for a good one to end the season!

Well guys my season is over. Sorry I couldn't get it done. Last drive of the day I saw the tail end of a buck but he didn't come my way. It was a giant too but nobody got a shot at him. He will still be around for next year if he doesn't run out in front of a car or something. Congratulations to everyone that shot a deer. Sure hope I have a better season next year!
