Howdy fellas! Hunting SC NC. Not sure if I can make Missouri this year. In the middle of a house build. Will be hunting mostly new property public and private. I have no idea what quality of deer I will offer the team this year, but can tell you I will put the time in the woods. Starting from scratch with new places.
Good to see some names I know on our team.

good luck fellas and let’s have a fun and safe fall season.

Hey all. Checking in from northeast Ohio. I'll be hunting Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania this year.

Checking in. Had pretty good luck last year in NC, SC and Missouri. Hoping to do it again this year. 50-50 on public vs private. Good luck everyone

3 bucks in 3 states in 3 months. Yep that was "pretty good". You had an outstanding year last year!!!!

Checking from NW Ohio. Will be primarily hunting a small private tract close to home but likely will make the trip southeast for some public land aggravation.

I'm an old-timer now I guess but I recognize a few names here even though I don't get on AT that much anymore.
There are some nice deer on cam already and we'll all have stories to share. Post 'em up!

Welcome to the party John and Kiwi! Its cool to be on the team with some folks from past teams together.
I have some cameras on some new public remote spots I will check at the end of the month. I have some private spots that have a few bucks showing up but nothing impressive.
I have been seeing a couple of really nice bucks on a regular basis at night flying back into the airport. (waiting on the green light from the airport manager for permission to hunt)

 

[hawkdriver55]

KS Kiwi it is hard to believe that those are the same animals that we have here in the southeast. Those midwest deer are just monsters.

I hear ya Hawk but those pics in velvet always get me drooling and once they slim up it's a reality check

Yep Chris sends my pics every year of those bucks out there before they drop velvet. There is some shrinkage for sure. But those things are beast compared to the NC/SC goats I chase.

 

[hawkdriver55]

Team in looking pretty good. Got some good states on here.

When is everyone's season starting? Heading to Kentucky labor day week for a dyi hunt on public land with my dad and uncle. Can't wait. Ohio starts September 24th and Pennsylvania October 1st.

 

[blazinsoles]

Yep. Coming in the 24th for four short months. Old timer that owns the land did not double crop beans. Left about 15 acres for the grass to grow in cut wheat. Place was pretty awesome the last time he done this. Provided lots of bedding cover outside of the timber.

Moved a couple of cameras around to see whats lurking. Will probably pull cards near the middle of September.
