Looks like a good team fellas

Yep this is one of the better ones judging from who killed what last year.

Anybody got thoughts on a name?

I had a friend refer to me last week as "Nature's Instrument"

I thought that was pretty cool, but I'm open to suggestions.

I'm bad at coming up with names,but I'll think about over the next 24 hours and see what I come up with. Looking forward to competing with you guys!!

I’m good with any name. Y’all pick!

Great team for my first time in the contest!

I’m not picky with a name because I’m not good at picking them but I’ll contribute if need.

Most importantly I’m gonna head out around 1:30EST and see if I can get us on the board

Couldn’t close the deal today. Lowered my bow to the ground, climbed down to my 3rd stick and removed my top one. Looked up and a buck walked 15 yards and started eating acorns. Nothing I could do but sit and watch... smh.

Sounds about like my luck.

You ain’t kidding I even thought to myself before I lowered my bow that was going happen lol

Hey guys for a name I got.... there probably not good just throwing some out

Backstrap bandits
A team cald bucks
Clorox stump militia

I like "a team cald bucks" or maybe "stone cald killers"

“Stone cald killers” is good

I vote stone cald killers. Be in a tree thursday guys. Looks like I'm getting up to camp just at the right time. Supposed to rain all day tues and wed morning. We need it something terrible at our place in north barbour/south Russell county. That cold front should have the deer on their feet. I'm letting the air out of the 1st doe that gets in range. Good luck if yall are getting after em in the morning!!

Stone cald killers it is.

Good luck to everyone hunting in the next few days. I’ll be pretty limited in my time in the tree for the next few weeks, but hope to squeeze in a hunt or two.

I’ll be out again this weekend. Good luck in the bow opener tomorrow if y’all are getting out.

Stone cald killers ✅

Is this me? Did they leave off the "18"? Don't see me anywhere on the list and I signed up on 9-9-19.

Looks like it. Maybe you should PM slippinlipjr to be sure.

If so, welcome to the Stone Cald Killers!

Yeah it is him. I forgot to write down the 18 when I was drawing teams. Hard to keep all these names skrait

Going to get in a hard wood bottom in the morning. Maybe i can get lucky and kill one.

Y’all getting out this weekend? I’ve got to play it by ear with the possible storm moving in.

Today is opening day for Georgia gun season. Headed to the farm in just a few minutes.

How did it go? I’m looking at getting out tomorrow as long as this storm moves out

I was able to slip out yesterday afternoon for a few hours. Saw 10-12 does and a couple of small bucks. Was waiting on a big 8 that’s been in the area. Shot a coyote right at last light.

Gonna try it again in the morning. May shoot a doe If I get a chance early on.

Nothing moved. Checked all my camera pics, and they all shut down aboiut 4:00 am. Must have been because of the storm coming in. Thought about going back up there today, and decided not to fight the mud this early in the season.

I'll be in SC next weekend for 3 days hunting.

Busted a doe this morning. I'll post it when I make it back to the house this evening.

We're on the board.

Nothing here in NC yesterday the storm had movement very spotty

Yes sir congrats!

Thanks. Truth be told,I got busted by a pretty good 3 yr old 8 about an hour before I smoked this doe. Wasn't my target buck for this area,but a good one nonetheless. Also,Thursday night,I had a bonafide stud directly behind my tree at 30.6 yards; by the time I got situated and ready to draw on him,he'd moved out to 40 and stood there. He initially was stuck at 80 yards in a little thick patch of trees,and I was watching him through the binos. Didnt act like he was going to come any closer. After 15 minutes, he and another buck walked off out of my sight. I thought they were gone forever. About 45 seconds later,I heard a racket that direction in the woods. Directly after that,a doe and yearling ran out of that same area with that buck right on there heels. The doe and yearling ran to the base of my tree and turned around to look back at the buck. He stood there posturing and stomping at them for about 45 seconds; that's when I was trying to get positioned. Normally i would've been ready,but they covered 80 yards in about 4 seconds coming my way. I was shocked. I've never seen a big buck like that act aggressively towards a doe. He was kicking them out of that area. When he walked back to 40 yards,he stood there staring at them for 10 min,all the while I was standing there holding my bow up. I thought my arm was going to fall off. I was really close to getting us some serious points . Luckily, he didnt spook at all,just walked off back to that patch of trees. It was my very 1st time sitting that stand. I'll definitely be ready for him next time

Man that sounds exciting and nerve racking at the same time lol. First time sits can be money

No luck in SC. Weather was too warm, and we had monsoon rains for half the trip.

Will be back in the Georgia woods this weekend.

We’ve got a cold front coming in and pre rut is starting here in NC. I’ve found what should be a good spot. Lots of fresh sign with some bedding and staging areas. Soon as I get a good wind I’m heading in

Good luck man!! I'll be back up to camp the 2nd weekend of Nov for another bow trip. Won't have the family with me,so I'll be able to hunt more.

Congrats on the kill.

Weather is starting to look good, pretty excited to have a full weekend to hunt. I’ve been seeing a bunch of deer, been waiting on a good one mostly, but my trigger finger is getting itchy.

I'll be back up at camp next weekend. Forecast still showing some decent temps,so hoping that holds true. Good luck this weekend

Thanks! My actual saddle will be here Friday and I can’t wait to try it out. I’m gonna get in a sit Saturday morning before work. Good luck at camp.

Good luck man!! Snap some pics of your setup

Awesome! My mantis came in today, did yours arrive?

Any of y’all make it out? I had to pull shifts Saturday and today so I’ll be back out this weekend coming up.

I'm stuck in tampa till thur,then I'm heading up to camp.

Slayin, where in Russell county do you hunt?

Bigcountry, you will like the saddle way better than just a harness

We're right on the barbour/Russell county line. Our camp is right on cowikkee creek,which is also the county line. Got about 1200 acres in russell,and 4k in barbour just across the creek. Been fortunate enough to be on the same place for just over 30 years now

10-4, how far off the river? I used to hunt holy trinity and cottonton, miss having that early rut. Now I’ve got some turkey leases in mt Andrew and Clayton, but don’t deer hunt down that way much anymore

We're about 5 miles west of 431. Pittsview/ glenville area. Usually see some chasing start toward the 3rd week of Dec. Last week and 1st week of Jan is wide open.

The new saddle is great! First sit in it and I had a 6pt come by after about 10 of being set up.

After the 6 pt I had a hot doe come in so let her walk as we are starting the rut here. About 10 minutes later I heard a grunt and had a young basket 4 pt come in trailing her. I’m headed back tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck man!! Sounds like you're gonna get a shot at one soon. Have your grunt call ready to stop him today. It can happen really fast when they're chasing like that.

I busted a doe last night out of my ground blind. 1st deer I've killed out of it in the 3 years I've owned it. Also my longest bowkill on a deer at 34 yards. Big nanny. Earlier in the hunt,I had a really nice 3 yr old 8 point come within 30 yards of my blind, and I almost shot him;just figured he could use 1 more year. Prob 115" deer. Did get some pretty sweet footage of him though. I'll post the vids on here when I make it back to the house this evening.

Congrats! I just got set up. I bumped a couple coming in but should be ok

,shot a nice buck this morning

Congrats! After jumping those two walking in yesterday I didn’t see ani it a fox

Thanks!! I was happy to get a buck for us!

Congrats!

I hope to get on the board next week. I'll be in South Georgia hunting all week.

Congrats slayin, mighty fine bow kill!

I hunted Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. Saw 35-40 deer, 6 rack bucks, possibly one shooter, but didn’t get a good look at him in some privet. Got a pretty cool video of two bucks sparring at 20yds on the ground.

As long as everything stays course I’ll get to hunt some private land Saturday and hopefully at get us another one on the board.

Good luck!! I won't be back up till the gun opener

Thanks! Since it’s a draw hunt I’ll probably take the rifle

Got settled in for this private land hunt, I got the bow and rifle so hopefully I get it done.

Good luck!!

Thanks! It’s been quite morning so far

Got the boom stick out and gave her a once over with the scentless oil. I'll be heading up to camp for the gun opener and staying through till after Thanksgiving. I'll be trying to get the Mrs. on a buck,but I'm sure I'll get in a hunt or 2.. You guys got plans to be in the woods for the gun opener?

I took it out last weekend to hunt some private land. I got busted twice to two different deer that came in downwind 🤦‍♂️

Just added one to the points thread from Twiggs County, GA. If I calculated right, should be worth 14 points.

Killed a doe also, but it was so late when we got back to camp, I forgot to take the picture.

Nice UncleHuck!!! Congrats teammate

Heck ya man great job! I didn’t make it out this week but lll be out this week coming up

Congrats!

I have nothing but yearling on my land seems like so far.

I had family fly in unexpected so I’ve been tied up with that. If m heading out tomorrow to a spot I’ve consistently seen deer at this year so maybe tomorrow is the day.

Passed on a 9 that I thought needed one more year. I let him walk last yr in the exact same spot. Acted just like he did a year ago to. Managed to get my wife on a buck,so it's back to chasing the big boys when I get back up to camp. Not sure when that'll be. Good luck in the mean time.
The 9:




Wifes buck


Also shot pig in between the eyes at 80 yards free handed

Congrats!

Looks like a dang good time!

I haven’t spent much time in the woods lately, but will start hunting hard here soon, both my places have a Christmas rut, and it’s getting close to go time.

I killed us a pretty decent 8 today.

Congrats!

I was scoreless in Texas this year.

Congrats man! I’ve been swamped and haven’t been able to get out

Thanks fellas.

First deer out of my tree saddle, first deer I’ve self filmed, pretty tickled with him.

Pretty decent!?!?! That's a stud man!! Heck yeah. Congrats!!!

I got a 9 point this weekend for us guys. I'll post a pic when I figure it out. Good Luck to everyone!

There we go!!! Nice work. We may just take the lead after all this. I'm headed back to camp this weekend to look for an upgrade buck.

Oops. Didnt work obviously.

Congrats tider, we are off to a pretty solid start. I’m gonna take my bow at some point and attempt to shoot a nanny on video.

If you want to text me pics I’ll post them 205 356 6385

Congrats on a nice buck Tider, I’ll post him to the score post images

Another stud!! Great job Tider!!

Congrats tider! That’s a stud, was it public or private land?

That’s a damn stud! How are you liking the saddle?

That one was off my private land. Thanks.

Thanks. I’m liking the saddle just for the mobility. It’s convenient to be able to slip in and hunt new spots. We’ve got almost 3k acres and it’s really opened up my options. Especially slipping into bedding areas without much noise. The afternoon that I killed this buck, I actually climbed a tree 75 yds from where some does were bedded and never spooked them.

When does that points get added to the team page so we can see where we are at in this race?

Awesome! I’m about to go hang my saddle here in a few

Not sure, this is my first year doing it.

Guys, just letting y’all know I’m here, sorry I’m not posting much, I’m super busy with work, but i just got off today and don’t go back til January 2. I plan on killing a buck and a doe during the break. Congrats on all the kills.

I’ve been i the woods about hour, noting so far, hopefully I’ll catch one slipping through the swamp getting some dinner

Got us an upgrade buck last night. Real nice 9 point. My photobucket account finally bit the dust so I gotta find another hosting website

Postimage Imgur works good, I kind of like postimage better

Congrats on the buck! Can’t wait to see pics. If you need to txt them to me and I can post them

Got us an upgrade buck!! Shot this tall 9 fri evening right at last light. He came out behind a doe ,and let out the loudest grunt I've ever heard a deer make. It was a bellow. Shot him right through the shoulder,and he piled up about 30 yards into the woods. I'm thrilled with him.

Congrats! That’s a pretty deer!

I’m hoping that I can get back in the woods soon, haven’t been able to go since I killed that deer and it’s the peak of the rut at both my places.

Thanks!!
Man, they are just getting fired up at our place. This buck I shot was stinking bad and his hocks were real dark. Nothing like being in the woods when they're chasing and acting crazy like that. Its awesome

Great deer!🍻

I may be wrong,but we may be close to leading this thing when he updates the scores. Nice work guys!!

All thanks to you guys. I’m down to the last week of season and haven’t slung an arrow yet. I’ve seen plenty of deer I just haven’t been able to close the deal, hopefully I can get one here in the last week.

I’ve got a piece of land near the house that hardly ever has any decent deer. Terrible neighbors. Well this year I’ve had a solid 8 pretty regular at night. Also had a decent 10 show up one night only. My cell cams died about two weeks ago and I haven’t had time to get out there and swap them. Knowing the rut was on, johnal3 and I slipped out there this morning for a quick hunt. I put him in the area that the 8 had been showing and sure enough he followed some does out of a bottom near John, but never offered a good shot. I had him change the batteries before leaving and sure enough at 11:15 he showed up by himself. My wife has never killed a deer so I talked her into going this afternoon, knowing that he was likely to screw up. We sat on the ground in some gobbler loungers because she doesn’t care for tree stands. With the wet leaves it was tough on a newbie. Rattled in a small buck and managed to have him pass at 15yds undetected. Saw a few does and rattled one more time at 4;45. About 10 minutes go by and I hear something. He’s trotting straight at us at 40yds. Directly to her right. I slipped my gun up on him as I whispered to her. He noticed us at 8-10yds and came to a halt. It was getting fairly dark and we had a heck of a stare down. We could hear deer to our left and eventually a doe walked by within 10yds. The buck watched her for 20-30 seconds and I figured he was going to turn and follow. Wrong, he turned right back to us and kept staring. Eventually he wheeled and ran to about 30 yds. I got him in the scope, but couldn’t bring myself to shoot him. He slowly walked off, so maybe I can get her back on him.

Heck yeah man. That sounds like a dang good hunt,especially having your wife with you and sitting on the ground!! Good luck catching back up to him or the 10!!

Sounds like awesome hunt. Nothing like having a close encounter on the ground to the adrenaline going, thats a nice buck too.

Just killed a pretty nice 10 point.

Here is a picture of him.

Real nice deer!! Congrats man!!

Congrats man! I see a doe last Friday but haven’t seen nothing since.

Back in the saddle this afternoon hopefully something shows up

Congrats moody!

Congrats moody!

I drew on a good buck Friday afternoon but he didn’t get inside of 40 yards. I sat all day yesterday and didn’t see a single deer.
