Well I guess Ill get this party started, Im Brad, Im 23 and I hunt in Wisconsin with bow, rifle and muzzleloader and possibly shotgun and pistol if the opportunity presents itself. My bow season has started and I already hold one of the coveted buck tags (its earn a buck this year) for an antlerless deer I got last year. So Im primarily after a decent buck right now, but a doe shouldnt prsent her vitals to me or I will have to let a montec eat! Where is everyone else from, and lets get to know each other a little better. We probly should also come up with a name for our team.

Snipe's in the house...http://www.texas-hunters.com/chat/images/smilies/smile38.gif


I see some new blood this year...Thats good

For you guys that don't know me, My name is Ken I live in the Great State of Texas.. Live around the Dallas area and Hunt in Central Texas... Age?? You would need to cut me in half and count the rings..

This should be a good year for me....3rd year with antler restrictions... low hunting pressure around me...And best of all we are out of the Texas drought we have been in for the last 6 years...Everything is lush and the deer are fat..

Bow Season opens for me Sept 29th...I will be in the woods 95 degrees and all..

[Brad6639]

And I thought hunting in 80 degree weather was bad!

[mehunter]

I am hunting the great state of Maine...we are in the expanded archery season right now. I am looking forward to hopefully adding some points to our scoreboard, add I want to say good luck to everyone.

[psefirestormlite]

Well guys keep in touch and lest see how far we can go.

Good luck
Paul

Glad to have you as a teammate MaineHunter...Good luck as well.......

[Brad6639]

We still need a team name. Any ideas?

[Mach1]

I'm finally able to check-in here.

I'm Jason from Illinois and I'm 26. I'll be out in the woods with bow, shotgun, and muzzleloader this season. Archery season starts October 1st. We've got some Cuddeback pics of some good bucks, so hopefully I'll be lucky enough to tag one, if not, I'll get us on the board with a doe.

[psefirestormlite]

I should be able to get a couple more does this week with my bow. This time I will take a picture of everything. for names how about lung bustas, tree huggers, the back strap boyz

[WestKyTeacher]

Hey team, just checking in! Deer season isn't looking too good around my area. We have what the locals call blue tongue really bad this year. In some farms they have found up to 30 dead deer. Haven't seen my bucks in the past couple of weeks either. Bow season came in the first of Sept. but I won't really get into it until it cools down in Oct. I'll leave the name up to you guys.

[Brad6639]

I really like lung bustas!

[brain]

hi its brain. i live and hunt in delaware.ive already been bowhunting but no luck yet .our muzz season starts in 2 weeks and im on vacation so i hope to get some meat buy then.

[OklaBow712]

Oklahoma is now represented.....here I am.

[Brad6639]

Im trying to put us on the board, I shot a doe last night but had to back out because I think I gutshot her, so Im heading out here in a few minutes to go get her. It poured last night so its going to be a hardtracking job I think.

[Snipe]

Hope you have luck tracking her with all the rain...

[Snipe]

My Bow opening weekend was a bust...We have been in drought conditions for 6 years here... We had a great spring rain fall..Drought is over.. And the Ragweed & Goldenrod are in full bloom...My allergies are killing me..I could not hunt more than 2 hours in the mornings and less than that in the afternoon..Took 4 Claritin in under 12 hours..Still no help..

I have a call into the Doc to go in for some shots or something..If he cant help me...I'm out for the rest of bow season..Pointless to sit in the woods snotting and sneezing, coughing eyes watering.... Arggg...I hate this..

[Brad6639]

I hear ya, I had that same thing happening to me all summer and its still going on. It typically only happens when Im at work, I think its the pour ventalation. Im on about every allergy med that has ever been made. I have to have one of those tests done where they expose you to tons of allergies and see what bothers you, and they said ill more than likely be on shots each week soon. Ive missed a ton of work because of this, it does no good when your in customer service to be sniffling and sneezing and runny nose and eyes watering all day every day. I hope you get to feeling better, it sure sucks dont it!

Sounds like grid-search time...eh ?

[Snipe]

Ok guys...Im sending a PM to IllinoisArcher & dodgeman1...to see if they still want to be a part of this team and contest...

[Brad6639]

Excellent, I was wondering where the rest of the team was. We should get a couple of names and do some voting on what we like, and maybe an avitar that we can use in our signatures like the ohter teams. Its time we start representing!

You guys pick a Name...Im easy...;)

[Brad6639]

My vote is for lung bustas, what's everyone else like?

[Washi]

dodgeman1 is my brother. He has a doe that I put up pictures for him in the entry thread. He just doesn't get on the computer much since he has six kids and two are two and one year old.

[psefirestormlite]

I'm game for lung bustas

I've seen a couple nice deer but nothing worth shootingand also been seeing plenty of does, just to hot to shoot one right now. I'm just waiting for the temp to drop some until I will harvest some more does.

[mehunter]

lung bustas sounds good to me.

[WestKyTeacher]

Had two NICE bucks walk by this morning, but never presented a clean shot! I'm really excited about hunting this year, things are starting to heat up. As for a name, I'm fine with anything.

[IllinoisArcher]

IM here guys.....Been busy with school

[buckee]

Hey,

Everyone now has the ability to upload their sinatures, directly from your computer, instead of having to host them somewhere, and Everyone now has the 30k limit for their signature upload, (instead of 13.0 k) directly from your computer. Also, everyone now has the WYSIWYG editor, even if they did not before. They can change it back if they want, but everyone now has it.

Everyone can thank Scott and Brittany (at Greyloon.com)

Right click on the picture(signature) and "Save image as....". choose a folder somewhere in your computer to save it in, such as "My Pictures", which is found in "My Documents", so you know where to find it when you upload.

Then go up to the toolbar in the forums and click on "User CP", and "Edit Signature" (upper left hand side in grey strip toolbar)
Then scroll down to "Option 2 - Upload Image From Your Computer" and click on the "Browse" button. Then go to the folder you have the picture stored in and click on the picture.
Then just click "Save Signature" .

That should take care of your signatures.

[dodgeman1]

sorry i didn't get the chance to check in until now but i work construction have six kids, and our computer had some kind of meltdown awhile back i guess it's like michael says better tardy than absent

[dodgeman1]

by the way i am from missouri, i'll be hunting with anything legal and plan on giving a daddy rabbit a ride in the dodge

[Brad6639]

Well I guess were going to be the lung bustas, that seems to be the preference so far of those who had voted. How do we get that added to our main name?

[Snipe]

Sorry I have not been in boys.. Been real busy at the office.. Also I have a BBQ Contest this weekend at Bass Pro Shop in Grapevine Texas.. http://campcraigallen.org/

Gun season opens Nov 3 here...Cool weather have finally come to Texas..Hope it stays

[mehunter]

Season opens Saturday, the weather has cooled, and I have the first week of the season off. Hopefully something will come my way.

[OklaBow712]

Sorry guys havent been online much lately...I have a doe and 4 point with a bow so far this season. will get pics up soon

[Snipe]

Im here at my property with my laptop waiting for the morning hunt...I pulled the SD card out of one of the trail cams...

Hope I get a shot at him in the morning...Cant tell how old he is tho.. If hes 4 or older hes down..

[Mach1]

Finally starting to see some bucks in my area.

[Snipe]

Seen a spike opening morning and a small 6 point that afternoon... Sunday was a bust..I will be back out this weekend..

[dodgeman1]

sorry i haven't been on lately but i have gotten a doe ,and i shot a buck saturday, i had it at 15 yards picture perfect shot, i shot it and had good lung blood for probably 600 yards or more. i found where it had laid up, there was blood everywhere, but it must have gotten up and walked away, because the blood just disappeared, anyway i didn't find it. kinda bummed but rifle season opens saturday so i hope all goes well

[Brad6639]

I havent been on in awhile, but I shot a 160 class 10 pointer on the 27th, problem was I hit my arm guard and hit him in the neck, had a small blood trail for 3/4 of a mile, and then lost him. We found where he bedded down and then got back up and there was no blood anywhere so we gridded the hill and still came up empty handed. I figure he lived, he would have to bleed to death to die from a neck hit, and if he quit bleeding that couldnt have happened. Really sucked though, it was the biggest buck I ever had in bow range and then that happens.

[WestKyTeacher]

Rifle season comes in this Sat. and I am really pumped. I have found a ridge line that is being worked. It is covered in scraps and rubs, too many to count of both. Anyway, I hope to have some good news in the next couple of days.

[Mach1]

Rough season for me as I've only had two deer within bow range and didn't have a shot at either one. The first shotgun season opens up this Friday, so I'll be out this weekend, but I'll primarily be concentrating on getting my wife an opportunity at her first deer.

[IllinoisArcher]

SHot a 8 point buck gotta take picks and enter it in the contest

[mehunter]

Just checking in, I am still empty handed but the son in law shot a 200lb plus 8 pointer the other evening. Came in chasing a couple does.

[Snipe]

Congrats IA... Looking forward to seeing the pics..

[Brad6639]

I shot a spike buck on thanksgiving thinking it was a doe but ended up being a nice spike buck. I was kinda upset at first but now Im glad cause Im just not seeing the deer this year and its meat and a few points for us, now I just have to figure out how to post pics.

[Snipe]

Missed this guy by about a hour this weekend...I pulled the SD card out of the camera at around 12:30...

Seen him in the afternoon hunt..But hes not a legal deer in the county I hunt in...:(:(

[Brad6639]

what does it take to be legal there, a booner? Thats a nice looking buck to me lol.

The inside spread of the horns are to be minimum 13"

Ears in alert position are approximately 13 inches apart and may be used to judge the inside spread.

[dodgeman1]

dodge checking in here, ihave killed two deer since opening of deer season here in missouri the doe i mentioned before, and a weeeeeee little doe in rifle season i am glad to hear some of us are having luck this year

[brain]

hey its brain i finally got one yesterday with my matthews bow.it is a button buck.i have no idea how to post the pics though.it says enter the url.????

[Mach1]

This is probably the worst season I've ever had. I've probably only had a 10 deer within shooting range of whatever weapon I've been using (bow & shotgun) and haven't had a good shot at any of them. The rut wasn't great in my area, but about 80 more deer were taken during the first gun season this year than last. Hopefully I'll be able to get a shot at something during the late part of bow season.

[psefirestormlite]

Well guys I did not get any bruisers this year just shot a couple does including this one I shot Friday. The only good one this year was the one my dad shot. I put him in my favorite spot and he end up shooting a P&Y buck chasing does at 20 feet from the tree stand. Oh well, thats how it goes sometimes... I'm just glad he got him rather than anybody else. You never know... I have a month left in MD and I'm going for a five day trip to Alabama fro some deer hunting in Jan.

[Snipe]

Hey guys..Just checking in ..

I'm having a God awful year...Only 2 weeks left to season here in North Texas..No score as yet.. I will be out this weekend, New Years day..and the final weekend.. If the driving rain are not letting the deer move...Its the dang wind blowing 40MPH ..

Hope to have good news this weekend..

[Brad6639]

My season is done, I have a spike and 2 antlerless deer down. Ill be posting pics shortly, I have to figure out how first lol.

[Snipe]

I did put some meat in the freezer...Popped a doe Saturday afternoon... Should have the pics posted soon..

[Mach1]

Season's over here. I started the season with 5 unfilled tags and I finished the season with 5 unfilled tags. Awful season for us. We couldn't even see any does during the antlerless-only season. Hopefully next season is better. It sure can't be any worse.
