Greetings from Connecticut, but don't let that fool ya, we got some nice deer here! I took a nice 8 pointer almost 120" here last year, and hopefully will be able to contribute again this year.

As for team names I'm good with just about anything...I'll throw out a couple...Rut Busters, Rack Attack, STR8 Shooters, Backstrap Bandits, Antler Addiction, Blood Trailers....it really doesn't matter to me though, pick something and we'll go with it!

I'm Van, I grew up in Ohio, but now live in Connecticut, I work for a defense contractor building the new Virginia Class Submarines for the US Navy. My time will be limited this year as my wife is in nursing school, and I will have to give her time to study, but I'm optimistic that I'll be able to contribute to the team.

Best of luck to everyone...my season begins on Sep. 15th with the bow opener, and ends on Jan 31st.

Hey all. Finally checking in. I'm Don. I'll be hunting Indiana County, PA (the land of giants.......... rotflmao). Our archery opener is October 2nd and I do have the entire 4th week off to hunt. May get to hunt a couple Saturdays with a gun this year too.

I should be able to contribute a doe for some points. My buck hunting is iffy. I'll only shoot a buck if I'm going to put it on the wall. And those are few and far between in these parts. We shall see.

I'm not much of a team-namer. So whatever you all come up with is ducky with me.

I've sent 2 PM's to Ashley, with no reply...does anyone here know her? Should we give her more time, or ask for a replacement team member?

Don't know her.

I'd give her a week or so, yet. I think, should we need a replacement, we could get one the instant we ask.

My vote is for a bit more patience.

Got into my stand late, approx. 5:50am, I think I heard a single deer blow as I was getting to my tree in the distance. I sat until approx 8:30am with no deer seen. Then the wind picked up! I then went to check my trail cam just at the top of the hill, and retrieved it.

Upon checking the SD card at home, I found a nice 8 pointer on there, and another smaller buck that was in there that morning at 4:30am.

I went back out that afternoon, and set up in the SW corner of the farm just off a nice run..at approx 6:45pm, I heard/seen movement coming in behind me, and from the down wind side of me. The deer never blew or gave me an indication that they busted me. After a couple mins, this deer jumped, and 2 more followed, but never came into bow range.

Sunset came at 6:57pm with 3 deer seen, and 0 shots taken, but it was great to be back in the tree stand!
