Mio huh? You should see if you can get permission to hunt our old farm...it's in Fairview on N Weaver Rd. The biggest wild buck I've ever seen in my life was in our field there! Easily a 180's deer with double drops and split brows on each side. Let me know if you'd like more info...

Alright, Im back....

I went and checked a few of my spots today and a couple of the deer trails I am set up on are being used heavily. I hunt on about 160 acres of private farm land and there has been nice bucks taken each of the last few years. Unfortunately I didnt taken any of them as I was deployed to Iraq and had to miss most of the last two seasons. My brother shot a 9 point each of the last two seasons though (he is on team 13) and we have seen a couple more wallmounts so far this summer. I did get home in time last fall though to climb into a tree stand and miss a 10 point on my first night home. I was kinda bummed as it is the only deer I have ever missed but then again I couldnt have been happier either because I was home. Well, I promise I wont miss this year if I get the same opportunity. For a living I work as an independent Personal Financial Advisor out of Troy which allows me to be in a tree stand frequently which is great. My brother finished this contest last year in 2nd place and very close to 1st... we can not let team #13 beat us!

Have any of you come up with any team names yet?
What do you guys do for a living and what areas are you hunting in?
Are you bow, gun, or combo hunters? (I am bow only and I shoot a BassPro Toxik which is made by Bowtech)
I am on the website pretty much everyday so I will check back tomorrow ... hope to hear from everybody!

checking in - I'm hunting bow and gun. I'm looking forward to the season. With any luck, I should have a doe in freezer after the early doe season in a couple of weeks.

srconnell22
09-08-2008, 09:42 AM
I'm SLP, and combo hunter... I think everyone we have on the team has the ability to be in the early antlerless season! Alot of SLP and one guy in 452. I think we can pick up 5 points each easily next week!

Sorry for the late sign in but my wife and I just got back from a North Dakota early bow hunt.

We both were lucky to take nice velvet bucks.
My wife took a wide seven and I got a twin 8.

I'll post picks as soon as I get them off our camera.

I am a bow only guy and will try hard to pull my weight.
I live and hunt mostly in the SLP but I also have property between Kalkaska and Traverse city so I will be doing some hunting up there as well. I will shoot the does no problem but will only take bucks over 120 inches so I dont know if I will get my buck for the contest in Michigan. Its been three years since I took a buck in Michigan. Just havent seen one old enough...

Maybe this year. Good luck team.

I'll be hunting all over the state this year.

Bow/muzzleloader/late doe - Northern Oakland County
Early doe/bow/late rifle - Near Mt. Pleasant
first few days of rifle - near Iron Mountain

Although my Mt. Pleasant spot has been the "work horse" for harvesting deer, I'm really looking forward to opening day in the UP. It should be a fun season.

Sorry, but I wont be able to add 5 points for the team next week. My brother and I decided a month ago that nobody will be hunting our property for the early doe season. We chose to leave it untouched until October 1st. Dont count me out though because I will be adding a doe to our team probably 3 weeks into October or so. We only hunt the bucks for the 1st few weeks.

Here are a few pictures from my property here in Paw Paw. I've got a 3 1/2 10 point that is a regular visitor. I had a bachelor group come through on 8/11 that had some hogs - I've attached those pics as well. I haven't seen them since, but hope that they will be back during season. My neighbors, except for one, are pretty good at letting the small bucks walk.

Do any of you know much about this Michigan/Ohio contest? From the sounds of it, we have to select one person from our team to be on the "Michigan" team to compete against the "Ohio" team?

Im not the most creative so I wont be offended if we dont choose to use any of my team names but since nobody else has thrown any out here is a couple:

1. 1 Shot, 1 Kill (stole this from the Army)
2. Silent Assassins (cant remember where but I think I saw this somewhere else, perhaps one of last years names)
3. Whitetail Whisperers
4. Whitetail Stalkers
5. Str8 Shooters
6. SunRise Surprise
7. Big Bones

I was trying to think of something to do with baiting since it is the hot topic lately but nothing came to me. Team We Dont need No F'n Bait?

These are probably lame... Im going to bed

Very tall buck that wraps around, very hard to see but he is the one on the left...http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/500/medium/Haloplus1.JPG

We think he has turned into a 9 point this year, but we'll have to get up close and personal to find out...

http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/521/medium/CDY_0003.JPG

I know he made it through the season...just haven't seen him yet this year...
http://www.michigan-sportsman.com/photopost/data/500/medium/CDY_00351.JPG

My main focus...I let this buck walk about 2 days before I got this picture of him last year...he should be a stud this year!

The Michigan/Ohio contest is going to be made up of 25 hunters from each state. since we have 25 teams in Michigan we all have to select one hunter from each team to represent Michigan from how I understand it. I think we should pick the hunter that has the best chance at scoring big... from the looks of it SRCONNELL & CPA both have some solid bucks in their area so far...

In the Ohio contest they only have like 18 teams. So they will select one hunter from each team and then 7 more at large to make up there 25 hunter team.

Out of some of the names mentioned I liked Size Matters and Team Bait Pile... It would probably really piss them off if we did

TEAM BAIT PILE
Its only illegal if you catch me!

(With a picture of a dumptruck worth of carrots on the ground)
Might be a bit much but it would make me laugh

I think the captain should be the one who will be able to spend the most time in the stand this year.
I travel a great deal for my job and will only be in Michigan two weeks the entire month of October.

Im sticking with OUT ON A LIMB... Love the slogan.

Im not sure if this will show up or not... I did this in about 5 minutes at work today and am not close to being done with it. Im going to mess around with it a lot more tonight. My brother is going to help me with it too and he has done these before (if you go to team #13 Whitetail whisperers, you can see the one he did this year)

Also, this is the 1st pic I saw and am hoping to find a much better one... I might scrap this and start completely over...

You guys like any of these so far, for putting in our signature?
These are really easy to edit so if you have any suggestions on font or color let me know and I will change it...

Srconnell, have you given in and decided to represent us yet?:lol:

Favorite is the top one

So are we suppose to submit our team name to get another thread started with the team in the title?

I like the one with the deer...even though it's a texas deer.

I was waiting for the other two guys to chime in with regards to team name and rep (didnt want anyone to feel left out). I guess we do have a majority vote though...

Nothing like putting a little more pressure on me! That's fine...just be aware you'll probably hear alot of "i let him walk" stories...

I think any of the sig lines you made up are great.. (alot better than the stick men I would have done..:lol:.)

For our team name I think all you have to do is PM the thread starter and tell him to change this thread title.

The problem with the deer one is that they have a new rule this year. The signature has to be no bigger than 500 pixels wide by 100 pixels tall. If I make the deer that short it really distorts it! When I get a few minutes at work I will look for some more today.

Srconnell, you just messing with us or are you really questioning whether you will put one of those bruisers down? Do you have a good track record or do you pass on a lot and not end up taking one half the years? If you really dont think you should do it, NonTypical had some great deer on cam! and If nobody else wants to do it, I would be cofortable with it as I have some nice bucks around as well...

I think we'll be okay with getting a deer... ;) I do however pass on ALOT of bucks...so I'm not going to be shooting the first 8 point that walks by...

I've shown you pictures of 5 of 7 deer that I'll be hunting this year. Chances are I'll probably pass on 30+ bucks to get to one of these. I just want you all to know that I'm not shooting the first set of points that walks by.

The problem with it is that the image can only be 100 pixel tall... I think AT made it that way this year to cut down on the amount of bandwidth used. So if I shrink that pic to 100 pixel (which is about 1.5 inches) it will be really distorted... thats a sweet pic though

alright, Ive been playing with this for a bit and I figured out how to photoshop the pic so that it might work... I have to get back to being productive but I will play with the font and shadowing tonight and try to come up with something that looks nice.

I vote for team name, OUT ON A LIMB. Whoever wants to be team capt. has my vote. I don't want to vote for someone who really doesn't want it. Checked my cam today and had some nice pics for TB zone state land bucks. 2 Weeks and counting. Looks like we have a good group of hunters
