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.

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)

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.

SO I went to check the cameras at the new property. One week and nothing but bears on all the cameras. This big 400+ lber ripped the top right off the feeder. The clamps were locked. He just bent the clamps until the lid came off. This is an Issue on my deer hunting plans.

Pulled my public land SD card today. Several small bucks. This is the biggest so far. Nothing impressive but they are coming like clockwork to the mineral site.

You guys are getting some great pics! That's a STUD damathews
Seems pretty open there in that pic. What are your chances?
Hawk - the camo job on those sticks is outstanding! I am now sending you all of my stands and blinds to "fix"
I like Out4Blood as a name but I'm totally good with something creative/unusual also -

I like the off the wall oddball name idea. Something weird and stupid. Like "Single Beveled Doughnut Spray #4"

Just for the WTH? factor.

Also - I agree with an off the wall name too. Ive played this for several years & all the names sound the same anymore.. haha.. Id be fine with the "Christmas tree cake eaters"..

Now there is a man that knows the finer things in life. Nothing better than a tree cake in the deer woods to fight off hunger.

I had a off year last year. A couple of does and a small buck. I am normally good for a 100 points simply because we had so many deer running around the place I knew if time was running out I could just stick a doe or a small buck and at least get a 100 points for the team. This year I am starting from scratch on new property with little to no history. I will score what I can fellas. Last years high light was this doe with a recurve and a black coyote with a compound.

We are running our base a pilot short so my time is the woods will be limited until season kicks off. But I will update on what ever adventures I do get into.
