From Ontario Canada. I hope I am able to put some points up on the board for our team. Last year I shot an 8 point during shotgun and a decent 10 pointer with my bow. Season start on Saturday.

Alright nubs!! Way to get us on the board. Congrats.

[lostiniowa]

go team 24!!!

[slughunter]

my bad, i put that last post but forgot to log in, so what are we going to call ourselves. an ideas.

[nubs]

Some might want to send a private message or email to the other members that haven't met up yet. Just for a roll call and a team heads up.

[slughunter]

since no one else is throwing out any names i thought i would. these are proble dumb but im just putting somthing out.this is the only one i can think of right now. big buck busters (bbb). and i am going to pm the people who havent checked in.

[slughunter]

i sent messages to everyone but Matthew J. Greene because it says he is not in the records or is not on file. i dont know some one should contact the mods.

[nubs]

How bout Ultimate Predators, or The wolf pack?

[slughunter]

i think my vote is going to go with team drop tine.

[bronco_mudder]

http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/cool.gifTime for me to check in. Sorry I didn't do it earlier, I just got back from a week long moose hunt. Do ya think they'd let me enter my bull, instead of a deer??? http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif Anyway, I won't be getting into the deer hunt until the beginning of November, but I'll do my best to make a contribution. Way to go Nubs, starting us off with a buck http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif. Oh yeah, I'm from Manitoba. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[lostiniowa]

I vote for "The Team" or "Trible B" big buck busters!

[whitetailtrax]

I think I like "Team Droptine" also.

[slughunter]

so its kind of down to team drop tine or big buck busters (bbb). i think im going to change my vote to bbb. what does everyone else want.

[nubs]

Drop tine here too.

[slughunter]

the name buck busters is taken so if it is alright with everyone, we are team drop tine.

[NorfolkHunter]

I like Triple B (Big Buck Busters)

Here are some bucks I plan to hunt this fall. These pictures were taken with my homebrew trail camera.

The first is of a buck I got a picture of last year. Picture was taken in late October.
http://www.realtree.com/img/536/6018ohmy1.jpg

These are two bucks that I'll be looking for that I got pictures of this year.

http://www.realtree.com/img/536/medium/Niceshooter2.jpg

Plan on getting the trail camera over a scrape tomorrow. Hopefully I can find another big shooter for our team. Haven't had the chance to hunt yet but will hopefully make it out tomorrow.

Go team 24!

[bronco_mudder]

Have we decided on Team Drop Tine for our name? How 'bout the Whitetail Connection, or are some of you lucky buggers hunting mulies too.

[whitetailtrax]

My vote is for Team Droptine. I do have the opportunity to hunt those stinky mulies, but I prefer chasing the whitetails around.

[nubs]

I know its still early guys, but I need yall's help to keep us in the running! I hope to upgrade my buck as the season progresses. Good luck to all.

[slughunter]

i know i have been going out a lot but its still early for much at my place. but im working on a new lease so that will be nice.

[slughunter]

man, between friday and saturday i have missed 3 times. i suck. i am getting ready to go back out so wish me uck.

[slughunter]

check ou the buck pic i just just got http://www.realtree.com/img/551/medium/0449297-R1-023-10.jpg

[NorfolkHunter]

Go get him slughunter. Nice buck.

[slughunter]

come on team, lets get some more points, i have been trying but.... i suck, i have missed 5 times in 3 days. but i know i will get that big buck i got my eye on.

[bronco_mudder]

Holy smokes slug, go get him!!!! I, won't get out deer hunting for another 3 weeks, so hopefully then I'll be some help.

[bronco_mudder]

Well if we knew who you were we could. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

GOOD LUCK then a non eeee mouse http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[slughunter]

geuss what team, got a doe last night, yup 5 points for team droptine. i will have the deer entered by this weekend.

[nubs]

Congrats Slug! Now get that pic up and get her entered!!!

[slughunter]

the doe is entered.

[whitetailtrax]

Great Job!!!! Congrats on the doe!! Will probably be several weeks before I have anything to enter.

[slughunter]

has anyone else been seeing anything or at least going out, at least keep the team posted as into what is going on. has anyone heard from the guys who have not checked in. i think they entered the contest and never came back http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

[nubs]

I haven't gotten to hunt much due to my wife being hospitalized recently. I only have 1 buck tag left, so I will probably hold out for another big buck like I took late last season. Good luck to those that haven't connected yet, keep trying.

[slughunter]

sorry to hear about your wife nubs. your good, you got a 5 pointer to add 10 points the board. im talkin to the other guys.

[NorfolkHunter]

I have gotten another picture of a nice 11 pointer. Now I just need him to come into bow range this weekend before the gun opener. Hopefully a nice old mature doe wlks him by my stand.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/NorfolkHunter/Nice11.jpg

[superguide]

Rifle season just started here-went for a little stroll this morning and passed on 4 or 5 smaller bucks-I'll let you know if I get lucky.

[slughunter]

i have been doing a lot of bow hunting. i hit a 4 pointer but could not find it. but that is it. gun season is coming. that is over a month long so i know i will get a buck.

[nubs]

THats a nice buck! I go on vacaction here starting saturday, opening day of muzzleloader season. Temps are going to be too warm (60+70's in p.m.) but I hope they move early in the morning.

[bronco_mudder]

Man it 2:30 am here, and I can't sleep. I'm to pumped, I'm leaving tomorrow at noon for a week of muzzle loading. Hopefully when I get back I'll have something big to enter in the contest for us. If not I'm heading back that way on November 18th for a week of rifle hunting. It's gotta be big or I'm not shooting though, so I hope I don't come back empty handed LOL!!!

[slughunter]

come on guys, we have to get more points on the board.

[nubs]

To the top

[superguide]

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b320/Rancher1962/AnterlessMulie005.jpg

Well here's 5 for the team but have three more weeks of whitetail season to upgrade. Lost a real good buck on Thursday because of a gun jamming-it wasn't a good deal at all-150 class buck on top of it all.

[Ritzer]

nice job superguide i just got my biggest buck Ever. A 10 pointer that i just entered come on guys lets get some Deer!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.hunt101.com/img/343586.JPG

[nubs]

Congrats To Ritzer and Superguide! Both are great looking whitetails. Another 20 points for Team Droptine, and we needed it too, we was falling to last fast!

[slughunter]

congrats guys, good job. 20 more points on the board. now i need a buck. i still have over a month of seaon.

[superguide]

nubs-hate to nitpick but that's a mulie lol.

[slughunter]

just thought i would check in and see how everyone is doing. gun season is tommorow so that will be a help.

[need2hunt]

ttt

[nubs]

Just finished our 1st week of gun season. I passed on a 2.5 year 7 point the 1st day. I only got to hunt 4 mornings all week, and didnt see another buck. I did see some does this morning. I also seen 5 bull elk this week, all mature bulls. One had 9x7, a true trophy!

[whitetailtrax]

Well, rifle season ended yesterday and so I took a young 4x5 whitetail. Had a great hunt with my son. I will post a picture when I get them downloaded and will enter the buck when I get time (and when I figure out how).

Mark

[bronco_mudder]

I entered this 4x4 today. Well now my deer hunitng is over until next fall http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a243/bronco_mudder/deer2005009.jpg

[slughunter]

good job bronco mudder, now i need to get a buck to contribute, at least i got that doe though.

[NorfolkHunter]

Hey team.

Just thought I would check in. I'm sorry to report but I have been having a terrible bow season. I can't remember a year where I saw so few bucks. Especially big ones. Rut seemed to be a flop. Practically no activity at all.
My week shotgun hunt starts on Monday. Hopefully I'll be able to put some points on the board. If not it will come down to late season bow hunting.

Here is a picture of a nice 8 pointer that I got off my trail camera on the 22nd. I'd have a hard time not pulling the trigger on this deer. Even though I'd love to see what he would look like next year.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y4/NorfolkHunter/Wide8.jpg

Good work to all of those that have scored for team droptine. I've been trying to place some points on the board but so far this year has been a bust. Last year I shot two a nice 10 and a young 8. This year nothing. Man is this hunting ever frustrating.

norfolkhunter i dont think you on this team, it doesnt say so on the list.

Nice buck Mudder. Big body too, what did he weigh?

[/ QUOTE ]

Thanks nubs, he is a nice buck but not the one I wanted. There was only 6 or 7 minutes of legal shooting time left when he came out at the far end of the field, I saw the body size, and the height of his G-2's and thought it was the one. I took a single shot at 404 yards, and drove a 140 grain balistic tip through his heart, but when I walked up to him I realized it wasn't the buck I was after. Oh, well I was happy how the hunt unfolded and with the shot, so I have nothing to complain about. As for the weight, I don't know, we didn't weigh him.

[superguide]

Here's my little 5x4-I guess superguide jr. gets bragging rights this year-was busy fencing and working cows during the rut but I got out one day and shot this guy at 8 yards in the bush-trust me he tastes better than he scores lol.

[nubs]

Congrats Superguide on a fine 9 point!

[SaskMan]

Nice hat Elmer! And tasty looking buck.

[superguide]

Ohh that left a mark-you wascally big buck assassin.

[whitetailtrax]

Congrats to everyone on their deer. Nobody on our team is likely to win any big buck contests, but we are all gonna eat well this winter! Here is the young whitetail buck I harvested the last day of Montana's rifle season. What a great hunt with my 11 year old son and kudos to him on taking a nice photo.

http://www.realtree.com/img/500/05_deer1.jpg

[superguide]

What part of Montana were you hunting in.

[whitetailtrax]

Not sure why the Anonymous deal comes up???? It said I wasn't logged in, but when I tried to log in it said I was logged in - what a vicious circle! Anyway, the last post was mine...sorry.

[slughunter]

nice buck, we are still in the game. now i need to get one like that,lol

[superguide]

I've only been down through that country once but I sure liked it-getting a little too populated-don't give up on those clearcuts in coming years-they are kind of hog heaven in our neck of the woods.

[whitetailtrax]

The clearcuts of Western Montana are wonderful producers of quality forage that the deer love. A clearcut surrounded by thousands of acres of heavy timber is even better. I have a handful of 140-150 class bucks from these types of cuts. Unfortunately when you have thousands of acres of clearcuts with only small patches of timber just can't prduce the mature deer because there is so little security. As the clearcuts grow up they become unhuntable, but they start providing security - then it's time to get the saw back out.

[nubs]

Great looking deer Whitetailtrax, How many points is he?

He's a 4x5 or a 9-pointer for you folks out east http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.

[nubs]

4x5? Oh yeah, a 9 pointer, we gotta count'em up.

[whitetailtrax]

I got mine entered today. Has anyone been keeping a running total for our team? I know we have a handful of bucks and couple does. I'd have to go back and read the rules - seems like we get points for entering an animal and then also points for number of points on the rack. I think we're doing ok - hopefully you folks still hunting can add to the total - good luck!

[whitetailtrax]

I just went through and added our score up - I believe we have a score of 71 points which is pretty good! There have been 6 of us who have "entered" a deer (not sure all are officially entered). That means we have 4 team members who still could shoot something.

From snooping around the other team sites, it appears there are a couple teams approaching 100 pts which we could certainly get to if everyone shoots a buck.

[slughunter]

i have been working on a buck but cant get him, i have until dec 31 and i have now school from dec22 til the end of season. plus we might get land owner tags and that will take my season till febuary.

[nubs]

Slughunter,
You seem to be on here alot more than any of us, so if u can, try to locate the rest of the team that has not been checking in, or we have not heard from at all. U might find some emails on their profiles. They might have taken deer and forgot all bout the contest. See what you can figure up.

[slughunter]

you got it, i pm some of them at the beginning but no show. i will see what i can work out. the nly person who hasent checked in is kurtis.

[NorfolkHunter]

Checking in.

Well I've never had a harder season. Wasn't able to hunt as much as normal but still haven't been able to seal the deal.
Our gun hunt ended on Saturday. Our group ended up with 9 deer. Unfortunately I wasn't able to connect on any of the deer. Haven't even shot at a deer this year.
Still have until the 31st of December to get a late season buck with my bow. I'll give it my best.
Sorry team if I don't connect.

NH (hommie)

[slughunter]

well today i got some land owner tags so now my season runs till march 31. but the compatition end feb 28 so i have to get a buck before then.

[nubs]

Good luck both of you. I found a good rub tuesday evening, about 20 inch circumfrence, Maybe I will meet up with him before the seaon ends.

[slughunter]

pretty nice guys on the cam:
