Just for future reference here’s me in my saddle just an hour or so before I put up some points for the trad team.

I just posted a rules update that I meant to do before the season FYI.
10/20/18- Update- I meant to add this before the season and forgot. If you have 1000 posts you no longer need to include the saddle in your photo. I will take you at your word that it was out of a saddle.

Can we also make an exception to the rule for @Blinginpse

This next week is gonna be good. I had young bucks on their feet last weekend and in the past 24 hours my dead deer sightings on the side of the road have exploded including a big 8 this morning. We have a noreaster coming in tomorrow so tonight is one of my favorite nights to hunt, the night before a front comes through. I'll probably sit in the rain tomorrow morning and then paint our family room tomorrow afternoon so I can be in the woods all day Sunday. I've already planted the seed with my wife that next week is the last week before the clocks change so hopefully I'm in the woods most days after work. Today is the last day of our first bow season (tomorrow starts the second) so hopefully I can fill this tag tonight :)

Just checking in here from the Great White North. I have to say, despite not yet having any points on the board for my team, that this contest is great. I had some reservations about it before I got involved - I was worried that there might be all kinds of ridiculous claims, and questionable behaviour driven by "points". It is awesome to see that none of that seems to be part of this. I am not sure this would work on some other hunting forums.

With the heavy action upon us now, I wish debilitating diarrhea afflicts all of you, excluding Team #4, only to the point that it keeps you on the can and out of the field!
