    Default Nontypicals

    Alright team mates, what is official name???? Buckbusters, Bone Collectors, Doe Slayers????? What do you think? How does everyone prospects look this year? I'm down in SC, so that means we have very long seasons but no big deer, however I do have one trip to PA lined for mid-late Oct. Post any name suggestions you guys have.

    Dont know about a name.

    Not too sure yet on prospects, when the corn gets harvested behind us here really soon we should see more deer come this way and activity usually picks up in my fields considerably. Seeing lots of younger bucks and tons of does now. Should be a pretty good season here. Got a decent 2.5 year old hanging around our minerals that we have gotten pics of on 4 of our last 5 rolls of film. He is not a shooter for me though and think as the time draws closer to the pre rut the bigger bucks will move in searching for does.

    Not sure of a name, but my prospects look pretty good. We had a lot of rain at the right time and the deer herd is doing great. Just have to be at the right place at the right time. Season starts Oct 2 for me and runs thru Jan 16

    How bout the name "The Nontypicals", or "The Realtree Gang" just a few more names to throw into the mix. I also like "The Bone Collectors"

    Doesn't matter as far as the name goes, it is going to be our score that passes up the rest of the teams

    "The Nontypicals" sounds ok to me.

    Getting pretty pumped. Our archery season opens the 25th of this month. Saw a couple does behind the house yesterday evening when I went out to get on the tractor to go and seperate some cows, and then saw some does back there again this morning.

    Hey team!!

    As far as a name goes I'm ok with whatever... I like Nontypicals the best so far... but whatever you guys want is fine with me.

    I'm supposed to go down to Adams county this weekend to scout a piece of property we just got permission on... it's 115 acres and supposedly there are some big deer down there (the fabled golden triangle of deer hunting), but I'll wait and see for myself.

    My season starts Oct 1... I've got 4 different place up here to hunt but most of the time is spent on one property... there are some decent bucks out there but I usually try to wait until November when the big boys start roaming around like idiots LOL. Depending on what Adams county looks like, we are hoping to get down there a few times. When shotgun season rolls around I'll be headed for Southern IL, it's 550 acres of woods, ponds and CRP, just me, my hunting partner and the landowners 2 boys hunt it... usaully see over 100 deer in the first 3 days of season... last year I shot an 8 point that was in the 130's and he was one of the smaller bucks we saw... after shotgun season I'll be back to my properties up here, also might try Adams county again a couple times... noone shotgun hunts that property so hopefully when the banging starts around there the deer will congregate on there property.

    Nock-on-wood it looks like it's going to be a good year!!

    I love having teammates from ILL. You guys make sure to bust a couple of nontypicals, cause 95 class 8pt counts the same as 140 class 8pt with the rules of this contest. It sounds like the team name is between "bone collectors" & "nontypicals. The vote is on!!

    Checking in. I am looking forward to a good year. A friend has offered to take me to a 20 acre private property that has not been hunted in many years. I am pumped. How about the name DROPSHOTS??

    DoubleDEE- What part of SE PA are you going to be hunting? I've got a trip to Perkasie, PA in mid Oct planned. (its about halfway between Allentown and Phili.) Good Luck!!

    Bowhunter862, about the doe comment earlier, the contest will give us 5pts f/ a doe, but if you get a buck it replaces the doe. The buck is worth 5pts plus however many pts are on the deer. My plan is to smoke a doe or 2 early and then hold out for Big Daddy Rabbit!!

    Not too often we see any non typicals here and most of the deer I have killed have had 8 points. So far I know there are 4 different bucks coming into my field and getting their pics made at our mineral site, but none of them have been shooters and the best so far has been a high racked 2.5 year old with 7 points, also had a 2.5 year old 8 pointer just not what I am after. Maybe this will be my year for a non typical with a bunch of points. Things here should really pick up soon, the corn should be harvested behind us any day now pushing the deer off those farms this way.

    Anyone decided on a name yet.

    Hello team, sorry for the late check in. Been out scouting spots. LOL!! I like the name, The Non-Typicals. Whatever you decide go with it.

    I live up here in Michigan and my archery season starts Oct. 1st so maybe just maybe you will see me post some good results.

    Take care and good luck team #6.
