Quinn is going to MO and KS this week and then Nebraska next month... stay tuned.  I'm done myself and have been for 2 weeks.  I've accepted the leadoff batter role and just enjoy watching the show for the remainder.  Good luck to those still after em.

I have been going now for 15 years and have made several great friends up here. I hunt their private places. No public ground, so I can't really help you. Sorry.

Certainly did. Probably needed him to be batting fourth  :TooFunny:

Regardless, just happy to have been able to contribute after the misfortune last season. Y'all have killed some dandy birds for sure this year.

Back in town trying to get caught up with everybody.  Congrats to all my teammates for another outstanding year for the Crusaders.  Judging from the scores for other teams, unless there are some "sandbaggers" out there, it appears we are in pretty good shape.

Personally, I have taken several good birds (for this part of the world) but I don't believe that even my biggest will make the cut for the top nine.  I am ready to post a bird, if necessary, but from what others have indicated, I don't think it will be necessary.  Having said that, I have one more bird to go here in NM and the last three days of the season to get him.  ...We'll see what happens....

Again, congrats to everybody.

Well, I finished out my season on 5/8 with my final NM Merriam's.  Ended up with more birds than I usually get (6), and all mature 2 or 3-year olds, but not a lunker in the bunch, score-wise.  The biggest is scored and "pictured" if it turns out it is needed.  Assuming Chad gets his biggest bird tallied up, I don't think it will be.

That's great sir  congrats on your season
Chad must still be after them he's been pretty quiet on the board
maybe he's got a monster bird .
I'm sure he will check in soon

Congrats on a fine season. I would love to hunt NM one day.

Congrats gobblenut. Our wv season ends this Saturday. I'm gonna try tomorrow morning for the bird that's been whipping my arse on a regular basis. Thursday morning will probably be the last I get a crack at him because the weather is spoked to be bad on Friday and Saturday. If he's what I think he is, it may be an upgrade but not counting my eggs just yet as he's found a way to get around me every single time thus far. Glad you had a good season and all is well.
