Checking In...

Hey Everyone,

I'm checking in, guess we have to come up with a team name huh? Anyone have any suggestions/desires? I'm Van, I live in Eastern Connecticut, and work for a defense contractor building the new Virginia Class Submarines for the US Navy. I've got 4 bow tags and 3 muzzleloader tags to fill, so hopefully out of 7 tags I'll be able to contribute to the team. I'm looking forward to getting to know the rest of you over the course of the contest, good luck everyone. -- Van

Hello everyone looks I'm your official youth member! :D I already started hunting 2 weekends ago. The season has been great so far, but I haven't gotten a shot at a deer yet. I have seen 10 so far though. I will for sure be contributing a doe for 5 points. I'm going to Montana with a mule deer and whitetail antlerless tag. I'll most likely end up filling both. I might be hunting some wisconsin land behind my buddy's house with some huge bucks. I'm going to have to work and save up $160 for the tag, but it will be worth it. I hope everyone has a great season. I'm glad to see that jerdanmagic is on our team. I hope you get that monster!

P.S. Hey Dwin!!!

Whats up everybody? I like all the names suggested so far, but I'm leaning towards "The Drop Tine Nine" Whatever we decide, I'm just ready to put some deer on the ground! Yall know how many deer we're allowed to enter? I've got 28 or 29 doe tags this year, so put me down for the maximum allowed, haha. Looking forward to the contest as this will be first year to enter. Our archery season starts on Monday Oct. 1, but I probably won't be able to make it to the woods until Thursday evening. I'm going to hunt Thursday evening,and all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning, so I should have something to show by next week. Best of luck to team 15!!!!!!!

You can only submit one deer, but you may replace deer if you get something that is worth more points.

Example: I submit a doe, but later in the season I get an 8 point buck. I submit the buck and he replaces the doe. Lets say that I get another buck, but this one is a 12 point. I can submit him and he will replace the 8 pointer. So I would be going from 5 points to 13 points to 17 points. I'm alright with whatever gets chosen for a team name.

Good News/Bad News.....

Well I went out, and I scored a button buck, I felt bad afterwards...had I know it was a button buck I'd of let it walk, but at any rate he'll taste pretty good, that's the good news. The bad news is this is when I found that there is something wrong with my digital camera so I wasn't able to get any pics to be able to take credit for the points for him. I'm not to concerned I've got 6 more tags before the end of the year, and I plan on doing a lot more hunting...right after I buy a new digital camera! -- Van

Well I'm here !!!!!!! Thanks to Tom 2008 letting me know. I didn't even know the teams were drawn yet.

My son and I have been very busy getting ready for bow season Mon. We've been working on an old camper for hunting.

I've got 6 tags to fill between bow, blackpowder, and gun seasons but only 2 can bow bucks so I'll be holding for another wallhanger but will put a doe on the board first chance I get.

Good luck to all!!!!!!!!!!

And don't worry if I don't check in much as I'll be getting in late and leaving early, be it work or deer season. I'll try to ckeck in as much as I can.

Oh, and "DROP TINE NINE" sounds good to me.

I goin this thursday just for a morning hunt. I found out this morning the landowner e-mailed me and said he found a nice 8 pointer by his lake dead. appears to be our first case of EHD on the farm. we need colder weather to knock those bugs down. I'll let y'all know how the hunt goes thursday.

Wow Buckee those both look awesome! I'm sorry to be different, but I like the top one the most. It looks like the woods I hunt in. I went into training today at Gander Mountain starting my new job. Anybody need a discount at Gander? haha I'm working in the archery department! :D I'm getting out of school at 1:00 this friday so I'm going to head up north early for an evening hunt. I'm feeling pretty good about this up-coming weekend. Good luck on Thursday slaw and its sad to hear about the death of a good animal.
