I'm here.

Not to thrilled about this season.

Washington state does it weird where you can only hunt one of the three weapon seasons.

Still have not decided if I am going to hunt archery or rifle.

Also, you only get one deer in this state and it has to be greater than a 6pt.

Hunting all public lands, so its going to be difficult for me.

I will get a week to hunt in South Carolina over Christmas but being late in the season its hard to see one let alone tag one.

I will do my best guys.

Hey everyone! Glad to be hunting with you this season!

All I know about this season so far is that I will be chasing moose in Alberta the beginning of October and then I have a Muzzleloader tag for Pike county and a gun tag for JoDavies. Past that I will be bowhunting when I get the chance. I'll check in when I can.

Good Luck!

Well, I just got back from a long weekend of too much beer drinking and not enough dove shooting. The ranch I was hunting looked really good considering it's basically desert. We've had a lot of rain over the summer and everything was really grown up. Should be a great year for antlers. I left a couple of trailcams out and I'll see what they show when I go back out there in a couple of weeks. Does are plentiful, in fact we usually have problems making ourselves shoot enough. For bucks, we try to run a pretty tight trophy operation and only shoot mature bucks or the occasional animal that obviously doesn't have the type of genetics we're looking for.

I've also got a couple of small bow hunting spots close to home that look promising this year. I had my trailcams out on them until last week and I've got a couple of shooter bucks showing up during daylight hours. So we'll see how that works out.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone and following the team's progress throughout the season. Good luck!

Team,

I am stepping out of the competition. I have talked with jcwa and flintlock is going to take my place on the team.

The reason I am stepping out is because I am not sure if I am going to be able to get into the woods to deer hunt this year. I have not figured out this state to find good lands and some other financial issues have come up which I believe will allow me not to get out in the deer woods. So, for me knowing now and to not jepordize the team by knowing a head of time that I might not get a deer or even be able to get out and hunt, I am letting my spot go to someone who will actually be able to get out and hunt and has a good chance at getting a deer or two. I wish yall the best and will be pulling for you. I just dont want to see the team fail because I couldnt even get out to deer hunt.

Good Luck all.

Well shoot, that's a shame. I sure hope everything works out and you get a chance to spend some time in the woods.

These are the two best deer I'm seeing close to home. One is at a 250 acre place that I hunt that is just outside of town to the south and the other is on a little 225 acre place about 7 or 8 miles north of town. I really like having these places so close, even though they aren't likely to produce any monsters. But it's sure nice to be able to go hunting in the mornings before work or in the afternoons after work. And I plan to do both frequently!

Here's the 10 point I like that's on the place south of town:

And this 8 point has been hanging around on the place that's north of town:

Now I just hope the cameras I put out at the big ranch in West Texas show some of those bigger deer.

Good job! And welcome aboard.

Did you get pics to enter it in the contest?

Thanks.

Know that I know what team I am on, here is the story behind my first deer for this season:

My hunting season will run thru the 3rd week of 2/11 so maybe I'll have more to add to the inventory!
