If you haven't seen the trash talk thread, I busted up a pretty nice mulie at home in CO already, but didn't get him out of the saddle. I couldn't let this guy walk, especially as close to a road as he was. Its too bad because he would have counted as an 11 pt. Last year I was patient and shot a smaller mulie out of the saddle to start the team off strong. There is a chance its the only mulie ever taken in CO out of a saddle, LOL. We would have won but had a couple controversial deer that didn't count. Glad to see we are starting off strong with a controversial deer this year too, LOL. We just need to win by more than 5 so that it doesnt matter.
Im hunting a Buddys place in Indiana in Nov that hasn't been hunted in at least 20 years since he's owned it and says "there are big bucks all over" so I have high hopes for that, but hard tellin', not knowin'. Then I have my lease in Alabama that's always at least good for does out of a saddle and sometimes a buck to two. Last year my doe spot got filled by an AL buck, if only I could have donated some does to other teammates. If I'm buckless (saddle wise) towards the end of the season and need you use a gun for us to win Im not above it so I should be a fairly decent teammate, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise. I'll hunt Alabama real late so we will put some points up potentially after a lot of seasons are closed. If the rest of you guys can keep us close hopefully I can clear the bases at the end. Better yet, get out there and let's just blow em out. It would be kinda funny to hold a few good deer back and put up 50 points in the last few days of the contest!
