Lease land in Calhoun County. Will hunt it hard starting around Halloween until Opening Day and hunt middle Oct and Thanksgiving in EUP. Don't do much other type of hunting in Fall strictly deer. Won't stop until I put something in the freezer too a doe last year on Dec 28.

...or "9 Tines out of 10"

 

Unless you have some serious personal/religious (kidding) reason, PLEASE take your Doe as early, as practical. The contest seems meaningless now, but when we are in the hunt and depending on each point - it seems like that easy Doe is absolutely impossible. ALL top teams shoot their Does early!

 

H8ed B H8n us!

Oh yeah!

 

Trust me. I fully intend on taking one early every year. Last year was a little different due to EHD wanted to see how many deer there were. Walked by 8 dead does while walking to a stand. This year from the looks of trail cams there are more than plenty for the taking.

Just so you guys know, I haven't shot a buck since 2008. Seen some 4-6 pointers on my uncle's property but I pass on smaller deer. There is a bit of a feud going on for some reason so I won't be out there. Good news is I'll be on my leased land in SW MI this year where some big boys might stroll through i call for NEO to be captain since you are most active on here.

TBuck, I hear ya! I didn't see any EHD first hand up here, but I did a lot of reading and following the DNR spreadsheet. It was aweful! I just got an email from DNR...stating that they have confirmed EHD in Muskegon Co. I pray it is an isolated outbreak and the frost comes soon!

MBounce, it sounds to me like your patience is due to pay dividends!! Your Team name suggestions are good and I like Morning Woods and Nine Lives the best, so far.

RonHunter, I hope that old girl gives you a perfect opportunity, come Oct 1!

TEAM 9 is going to ROCK this contest!!!

 

Here is my best, yet feeble attempt to make a banner. I just used one of MB's suggested names/theme. It's a Team vote for final decisions...

 

I like it!....and NEO has my vote for captain

 

lol... I like Morning Woods as well. Keep the banners coming, hard to see the name's and teams name with those colors neo. I'll see if I can whip up something too.

I'll be spenting alot of my time hunting southern isabella/montcalm county... Didn't really ever get the cams out this year... Will put a doe on the board at first chance i get. HAve had eyes on several shooter bucks around our farm so if all goes well i'll have a nice one down with a my bow.

 

SWEET! The gang's all here!

Let's get down to business...need a Captain (I can do it, if that's the majority's wish)...need a name (sounds like we have 3 votes for Morning Woods"...need a banner (I gave it a whirl, but someone with skills should fix it up, or make a better one)...it would be nice, if each of us posted a little intro and describe how/where you hunt.

I really believe that Team involvement is key to success in most any competition and especially this one! Please contribute as often as you can to our Team thread. It helps to maintain our core.

I wish you all a SAFE and enjoyable 2013 season!!

 

This one could be a player...

 

Haha... I like that neo

Here's something I whipped up with your previous image

 

 

Both banners look great. I NEO has my vote for captain. I'd have to say the morning wood banner is probaly one it'd vote for. As that's typically how I look in the morning now a days. working, college and early goose hunting leaves me a little burned out.

Will defianately be in the woods as much as possible though. Even if it's strapped in and snoring.

Here it is reduced in size a bit

I like this one! Can you add an "S" or a "Z" after Wood? Also, can you stick TEAM 9 in there somewhere?

 

Neo Capt. Looks like your it 👌i like the morning woodz too!

OK. TEAM 9 will be Morning Woodz, unless we come up with an alternate.

I will start our team thread and we should all switch over to that from now, on.

 

NEO for Capt and Morning Woods for name
