Guys I apologize as I was terrible at taking the time to get a lot of pictures this year and posting. Without going into detail I will simply say that my personal life has met with some difficult changes and I tried to enjoy more of the time in the woods this year in a different way.
I have been on Night shift - 13 hr shifts 7 days a week for a while now and remodeling a house for 2-3 hrs each day before I turn in to get 2-5 hrs of sleep. I will definitely be back on here more after this job is completed but for now this is what I have.
It seemed that every time I needed to take pics for a contest I would forget something or I spent time visiting with fellow hunters and landowners and just told myself "ahhh don't worry about it there will be another".
Well my biggest bird ended up being a bow kill but of all things I did not take a picture with the team names so I don't think it can be entered.
I hunted TN and had some great hunts where I filled all 4 of my tags and 2 bonus archery hunt tags as well. I then hunted IL as well and finished up with 3 birds for a total of 9 for the year. This was the first year in over twenty + years that I did not hunt MO and even had a special draw area to hunt but the work schedule did not allow it.
Below are some pictures of scenery from Fall Creek Falls state park in TN where I took part in the special bow only hunt and the rest are just scattered pictures from throughout the season.
Again I apologize for not being as organized as I usually am when it comes to the contest thing. Hope you all had a great season.

Awesome pictures. You don't really need the team name on a piece of dated paper. Some of us are on multiple teams, so we don't put the team name on it to be used for all the contests.
