For the record I would get one of those ribbons for participation since I won’t see any deer lol

We would have to do three extra awards for you for the biggest spike, fawn with most spots, and most deer taken not in a saddle at a saddle meet up.

Honorable mention is the “are we shooting or hunting” award for the most deer shot at.

I'm up for this but my work schedule will dictate whether or not I can make it. Following...
 
@Patriot following in case you do a PLC in MA. I’m in state, so tags are already in hand. May be able to stretch and do an out of state hunt as well, but I’ve got two in the books which is stretching the hunting budget already…

not a lot of interest in this, which for me is very surprising. So I think we’ll be headed to mass bud based on the feedback from those who are interested so you’re good to go!

^^^^ that’s funny!!!
I’d be down for a regional hunt. Make it a party down south lol
 
I just love reading about all the people annoyed someone messed up their sacred spot on public ground. I can’t stop thinking about how funny it will be that some fella has spent the last five seasons discovering his honey hole. He’s got the whole season plan mapped out. And he’ll show up in prime time only to find a group of ten people from all over the country arbitrarily decided to hunt there.

a thing of beauty

Awesome! Let me know as soon as you know the dates and I'll block them off. Earlier in the archery season would be better for me, for what that's worth.

anyone from New England interested? Wouldn’t be surprised if this happens everywhere soon. Public Land Challenge looks like a ton of fun!

Agreed that this would be fun. Vermonter here and I might be able to join. I've done a little upstate NY hunting and one season in NH. If memory serves NH archery opens first in mid September, followed by NY, then VT Oct 1.

If I had a vote it'd be for one of the September weekends as once Oct hits I'll be hitting my VT public land honey holes hoping 10 out of staters don't show up to spoil it.


I don't know much about MA but willing to drive if @kyler1945 is making an appearance. And if we get @Nutterbuster north of the Mason Dixon line I'd probably drive just about anywhere, especially if @Vtbow goes and splits the gas bill.
 
As long as it doesn’t fall on one of my Delaware trips I’ll show up for that!

Haha, let’s all throw in on a flight for @Nutterbuster haha.

I’ll start a new thread in a bit to start planning but I think we’re gonna go with Mass and mid to late oct.

I’ll look for camp sites and figure out costs etc but open to suggestions of which is the best location to set up camp.

this is gonna be awesome. Zach Ferenbaugh, Infalt and Joe Rentmeester if y’all are out there lurking and want to join us I will pay for your campsite and provide you backstrap under the condition that you autograph my bow :)

I've been north of the border, but 20 hours is a haul. I don't have my papers to fly either.

I think it'd be cool to do regional stuff. Sounds like we have the yankeetown region going. I'll volunteer to organize the gulf coast/deep south/southeastern one if we can get 4 or 5 folks to commit. I know @swampsnyper and @gcr0003 and I had a good hunt last year. 5 hour drive for me was manageable.

I think 4-6 regional hunts with standardized rules could be a fun extra layer on top of the contest.
