[5Cent]

5Cent checking in. Name is Adam, currently live in Castalia,OH (Erie County) but heading to Collins, OH (Huron County) in about a month.

I'm looking foward to whooping up on these other smucks this year or atleast having a blast trying, hope you're ready!

Team name suggestions?

[oobuck]

From Lucas Co. mostly hunt 2 farms in Williams Co. Look foward to talkin with everyone.

[5Cent]

Oh ya, I'm in for bow, how about you guys?

[oobuck]

Will be hunting with a crossbow during archery season. Last year, I tagged out with a doe and a nice half-rack in October. Hopefully the luck will continue.Lets go get-em boys!

Atleast you filled a tag! It's tough up here in Zone A. I was spoiled when I was in Athens for 4 years, hopefully the new home will bring some luck.

I hope the other guys make it before the 1st. Any ideas on a team name Ray? Tomorrow's going to be pretty slow at work, so I should be able to atleast throw a couple out there.

Hey John good to hear from ya. What-ever team name you want is fine by me. I think we will have a really good team if the others check-in.:bouncy:

[lung buster]

Lung Buster checking in. My name is Mike and I live and hunt in Hocking Co.
I'm hunting this year with a Bowtech. I'm cool with any name that the majority is happy with :coolgleamA:

[5Cent]

Alright, we're getting there. It's good to have some SE Ohio boys on here, you guys are blessed in those two counties, man I miss it!

[oobuck]

All my main stands are ready to roll on 2 pieces of priv. land. I do use a climber on occasion. Mostly beans planted on both propertys I hunt. I prefer corn, but if I put in my time, I should have my chances. Are you guys ready? How does everyone hunt? Lets decide on a team name.:coolgleamA:

[oobuck]

I don't think we will win any contests for smack-talkin. I hope the others check in.

[six-point]

six-point checking in.

Have been out of town quite a bit .... 2 weeks inb Aug, some in May, June and July too. Ready to climb the stand, draw the bow and eat me some venison.

I got skunked last year because I was too picky. I missed all of October because I had surgery and couldn't draw a bow. Then I was too picky...ended up not seeing many deer after Thanksgiving..

I won't be so stubborn this year...if it's brown, it's down!

[six-point]

BTW, name is Brent and I'm hunting Western Muskingum County and maybe a little East Licking County. Ladder stands are still up from last year. Using my crossbow to start with, but I may switch to my compound.

Anyone use attractants? If yes, whats your favorite???

[deerhunt45]

Still looking for hunter333. Has anyone PM's him?

[oobuck]

PM sent today.

[hunter333]

hunter333 checking in. Sorry for being so late.. A lot has been going on with football and school lately.. but it won't happen again :coolgleamA: My name is Kyle and I live in Perry Co and hunt close to the Muskingum County line. I'm very excited for this year... It's showing a lot of promise. :coolgleamA: I've been scouting all summer..I hunt with a compound and i don't really care what our team name is..

[5Cent]

Alright, Team #18 is ready to roll:bouncy:

Team name ideas guys? I have not had any luck thinking of any, and am open to anything.

My hunting setup is unknown at this moment, due to moving. I should have an idea of my hunting grounds hopefully early October if the neighbors are nice:mischeif: I have always hunted out of stands until last year when I setup a blind and it really brought a new perspective of bow hunting. Might have to try it again this year.

Name it. We are going to win anyways.:cheeky-smiley-022:

[hunter333]

Team Flat Line sounds good to me.....

[six-point]

flat line works for me as well

[5Cent]

Just an option I was throwing out there...

But I think Flatliners is better, since there isn't a "team" infront of the name on the thread and I don't want people to think we're a fishing team with two words:yikes:

I have used corn before in SE Ohio with good results (buck in avatar), but it doesn't do much up North. I think I'm going to use the mineral mix 1023 has posted and see what it does.

[johnc21]

Flatliners works for me

[lung buster]

Flatliners works for me

:yeahthat:
Sounds good to me.....

[5Cent]

:yeahthat:
Sounds good to me.....

Don't know if you guys saw the OH vs MI contest, but I vote for either of you two (johnc/lung buster) seeing as how you were in the OS contest last year and had luck.

[six-point]

I've got a corn feeder I normally run 2 times a day. It normally draws the same crowd of does with an occasional buck passing through. I did buy a mineral block this year to see it it helps.

I've had absolutely no luck with using scents.

[six-point]

Feeder is stocked, stands are up, bow is sighten in, clothes washed in scent away, 19 days an a wake up...

I'm getting antsy!!!:bouncy:

[oobuck]

We need a team name. Somebody has to pick one. One of our team, submit one of these: Flat-liners, Horn Hounds, Whackin-N-Stackin. PM 45 w/ one of these.

[hunter333]

Ill send 45 a PM. Since most of our team said it sounds good or that they like it, ill go ahead and tell him its..... Team Flat-liners..

[5Cent]

Alright guys, I'm back. Was gone for the weekend for 1023's wedding, and it looks like we have a name.

I vote for Lung Buster or Johnc21 for the MI vs OH contest. Lets get it going....and only 18days left:biggrin:

[hunter333]

I'm pumped and ready to roll.......

[5Cent]

I'm pumped and ready to roll.......

I hear ya! Although I'm far from being ready. Bow is sighted in, and arm is strong and steady, but that's about it. Clothes still need washed, hunting land secured at new place, and stands hung.

We close on our home this coming monday 9/15, and gave the sellers 10 days to get out. The first day in, the minerals and salt are going out in the back yard, time to see what's in the area!

Hunter, I like the red lettering in the team logo, looks great! I think we need to keep it Flatliners as that is the medical spelling for a "dead deer":D I'm going to email 45 and ask him to make it one word. When you get it changed, I'm going to copy it if ya dont' mind.

[5Cent]

Anyone here? We need to get someone in the OH vs MI contest. There is only a few teams that haven't named a hunter, and we're one of em:bouncy:

Man this 50* weather in the morning is awsome!

[lung buster]

I'm still around. We do need to pick someone for the OH vs MI contest...
It was 43 here the other morning. I was out hunting tree rats and seen 8 does and yearlings. They were crunching on acorns....I already have a stand hung in there and plan on busting mommy's lungs :eek: It is not long at all now :bouncy:

[six-point]

Thank goodness for friends and generators. I was beginning to go into withdrawls!

[hunter333]

Finally got power back... I was in the dark for about 3 days..

[six-point]

mine finally came on about 6 tonight.

Went out and checked the stands. tons of limbs and a couple trees down. Looks like a tree one of my ladder stands was in was swaying so much the bottom of the ladder was picked up and set down closer to the tree. There is a nice bow in it now!

but for the most part the woods i hunt in was still in pretty good shape.

Now if I can convince my heart doctor that I'm capable of climbing a tree...

[oobuck]

Just checking in. I've been trying to get my long list of stuff done. Killed my 1st deer(doe) of the year the other day w/shotgun on my Michigan lease during the early antleress season.
Been seeing some nice deer around, on the land I hunt in Ohio, so I can't wait to get after them.
In regards of the OH-Mich. contest, I would just suggest whoever has the most seniority on this site should be our team rep. I'll check back next week.

[hunter333]

Got my new camo, hung stands, bow sighted in..... Really Excited....

[oobuck]

We need someone on our team for the OH-Mich. contest. The season is almost here. Who is the buck-hunter of the group? I am a meat hunter, so although I am confident I will stab 1 or 2, I don't really look for big horns. Who

Agreed....I'm going to be late starting my season and do not have any deer in my sights as of yet. One of you guys with good hunting grounds and a few lined up are nominated.

[oobuck]

Whats everyones Opener set-up? I will do a morning sit in a 15 acre thicket w/ corn on the south edge, crp to the west, beans to the north,and hardwoods connecting to the east. Evening will probably be on a seperate farm in a long woods. This stand is on a inside corner w/ beans behind me and low-lands in the front.This stand has been very good to me.:bouncy: :whistle:

[deerhunt45]

Last call for a Team Representative in the OS vs MS contest!

[wallydog1]

Last call for a Team Representative in the OS vs MS contest!

Guy's I would pick Johnc21 ;) He's do this year to nail a Brute.

[six-point]

I'll be 20 ft up overlooking a funnel leading to a bedding field in the AM. Most likely 16 Ft up overlooking a trail coming from the bedding area to a bean field in the evening.

2 days and a wake up!

[5Cent]

Johnc21 is my vote too.

45, if none of the other team member vote, then you go with majority rules:biggrin:

[deerhunt45]

Johnc21 is my vote too.

45, if none of the other team member vote, then you go with majority rules:biggrin:

I got it thanks!

This team is flatlining at 50 posts :whistle: ;) :D

[oobuck]

Fellow flatliners, are you out there? Hope you've been out scouting, hanging stands, etc. due to the lack of posts.

[hunter333]

Johnc21 has also got my vote...
But for the opening morning, I will be 30 yards from a little, clear-cut field inside the woods where I have gotten pictures of a nice 10 point in early august. I've set up where many trails meet and I'm very upbeat about hopefully seeing him the first day.. As for the afternoon hunt, I plan to hunt about 60 yards from a pine tree edge line... Alot of the deer run along the edge throughout the morning and hopefully one comes along the trail beneath my stand... I have a football game tomorrow so if all goes well, this week end will end with my team 6-0 and a big deer on the ground..

[5Cent]

Well this is the first time in years I won't be out on opening day. Finally got the keys to the new homestead and tomorrow will be spent cleaning/painting:yikes:

I'll be thinking of you guys, checking in periodically to make see how the teams doing!

[lung buster]

Johnc21 sounds good to me.:coolgleamA:
Good luck to all team members that will be able to make it out this weekend.
I have to work all weekend :irked: but I plan on letting the air out of a big mommy's lungs next week :D

[oobuck]

Chalk a 7 pt. up for team flatliners. Pictures to follow, trying to get deer quartered due to the heat

Congrats on your opening morning buck! :coolgleamA: I didn't even see a buck today...

I only see 6 pt though :confused:

Wait, I think I see the 7th "point"...can you hang a ring on that one...:whistle:

[six-point]

I was out this am..had 7 does under my stand. didn't draw the bow though. didn't make it out for the evening hunt due to a lack of babysitter... Will be back out tomorrow am.

I'll try to post another pic.It took me like an hour, to get this picture posted, but I will try to get a close up. Does anyone think it will make boone and crockett?:)
Or just the crock-pot? :D

First deer at my check-station, and I did'nt even get a prize.:eek:

Oh ya baby, way to go oobuck!! Congrats on a nice deer:D

Way to put those doubters quiet with an excellent picture of that 7th point.

I would have thrown the ring on there too:mischeif:

[deerhunt45]

;) :D You know I wouldn't be the only one to ask...

[hunter333]

Congrats oobuck!
I didn't hunt opening morining due to football practice at 8am but I did get into the woods yesterday afternoon and this morning. All I saw were does... But I'm hunting tonight and hopefully can score for the team..

[lung buster]

Good deal oobuck :coolgleamA:
I plan on trying to add some more points this week ;)

[oobuck]

Thanks guys for the congrats. Just got em all boned out, taking a portion of scraps to meat-market to get some sausage made that I like.
Kinda bummed though, (but happy) now I will be hunting antleress now, so I know whats gonna happin, Mr. big is going to walk on by. But like I stated before, I am a meat hunter so I will be happy to harvest an additional doe.
But I am not done completly with bucks, I lease land Just across the the State line in Mich. So I have an additional oppurtunity to whack a buck in Mich. But I am confidant I will get an Ohio doe for our team.:mischeif:

[wallydog1]

Congrats oobuck,nice job

[johnc21]

We are on the board,thats a great start. My season won't start for another week. I just bought a house and went through a divorce so the bow has been neglected a little. That's going to change soon! I am fired up ready to go, I shooting for the middle of the month to get after them. Good luck to all and keep us posted. Thanks Wally for the vote, I am due!

[oobuck]

I plan on getting out Sat. to try for a doe. The approx. 80 acre corn field has been harvested behind the thicket I hunt. So I hope alot of deer were pushed into the area.:mischeif:
Anyone else plan on getting out? Any reports?

[oobuck]

Any Flatliners out there?

[six-point]

I nearly was "flatlined" ...I was having chest pains...again, went in for a heart cath today. No blockages, but that doesnt explain the shortness of breath and chest pains.

I'm laid up this weekend, but will be back in the tree next Friday.

Hey man, take it easy, we dont want the next 10 pt. you see to vapor-lock you.
Just trying to insert some humor into a serious matter. If you are having these kind of problems make sure when you do go out hunting, someone knows exactly where your at. And don't over-do-it, like tryng to drag a deer or hang stands,etc. Be careful!:tsk: :tsk: :tsk:
I'm going out in the morning to try for a doe. I'll keep ya posted.

[six-point]

Thanks 00buck...

I have a pretty easy walk to the woods behind my house...Maybe 400 yards or so. I have 2 ladder stands, and any dragging is done by atv. I have to rest up the next 2-3 days.

Seems like this time of year is my unlucky time. Last year on Oct 1, I had emergency gallbladder surgery and missed the whole month of hunting season. Near the end of Spetember in 2004 I had a heart cath with 2 stents and missed a month of hunting, and in october of 1996 i had bypass surgery and missed the entire season.

But its all good...

[oobuck]

Went out this morning, No deer sighted. I shoud've taken my daughter out for the youth waterfowl season. There had to be 50 geese and a bunch of ducks(woodys,mallards,teal) on the swamp. Cant take her tomorrow because the land owner does not want me to hunt on sundays.
I may go to my "A" farm in the morining, and hunt an oak flat leading to a corn field.

[Kaiser878]

oobuck, your daughter does a bit o waterfowling??
I took a boy out this morning for a youth hunt. Was a good day, had three woddies and a mallard in the first 15 min. He missed a bunch of geese and had 4 teal buzz him he didnt see, but oh well. It was a lot of fun, he did end up getting 1 goose though. I absolutely love to take youngsters out hunting.

[lung buster]

Just checking back in.... No luck yet. I only made it out 2 times last week. I did somehow miss a big acorn eating slick head :coco: I plan on hitting it a little harder once I get off of grave yard shift :irked: .

[5Cent]

I'm hoping to get out later this week. Still need to permission around the new area.

[oobuck]

Anyone going out this weekend? I'll be out a time or two (3 day weekend):bouncy: . I'll report later.

[hunter333]

Yeah, im going out.. It's really the only chance i can hunt, on the weekends because of football...

[six-point]

I went out Friday morning...had a doe blow at me just as i reached the base of my stand...Saw 4 other does but didn't have a shot.

Saturday morning I saw 2 near my pond as i was walking down to the woods. Saw 3 about 60 years in front of me,.

Still waiting to see some horns or a shooter size doe.

I may go this evening, but definately tomorrow morning.

[lung buster]

Got a nice doe this morning.:bouncy: I will post a pic later, I gotta get work :irked:

[oobuck]

Way to go Lung buster, good job.

[5Cent]

Congrats on the doe LB:biggrin:

I still haven't made it out, it's killing me!

[six-point]

Took a small doe this morning. Not the biggest, but it'll put back straps on the table tonight and jerky in the smoker this weekend!
I missed a lot of hunting last year because I was too sick to hunt opening weekend then I had emergency gallbladder surgery that Monday. After that I mostly buck hunted and ended up not taking anything.

Man, it ain't no fun going a year without some venison and I wasn't going to let it happen again.

[oobuck]

Congrats Six-point, that will be a fine eating deer. Looks like you busted a big hole in it. What kind of head? Are you going to post it on the contest picture thread ? Make sure you get a pic. w/ you in it. We are on a roll now.

[six-point]

my bad...didn't get a pic with me and the deer....never even thought about that.

I'm using a Ten Point Slider bow and 100gr Spitfire broadheads. That pic is the exit wound of a 20 yard shot from a ground blind. She only ran about 50 yards. Found the bolt missing the insert and the broadhead.

Congrats 6pt! Nice job guys, keep up the good work. 6pt, you definitely got to get a picture with you in it and your weapon (hopefully you signed up for bow,lol) and post it in the correct thread for it to count. If she's already butchered no worries, but either way it's meat in the freezer:bouncy:

I hear ya about going a year w/o venison, it's enough to drive a man crazy:woohoo1:

Too late for the picture with me in it...prolly would have scared the deer off anyway!And yes, I signed up for bow.

[hunter333]

Congrats to lung buster and six point....

[hunter333]

I've been passing up does because I get this feeling that there might be a buck behind them and if I shoot a doe then the ''buck'' nearby will get spooked... lol

That's alright brother, but if we lose by 5 points I'm coming knockin:bonk:

Congrats again on the doe!

Not much movement Saturday morning. Saw a lot of deen in fields last evening but was in the car, not a tree :( Couldn't make it this am either. Made some pretty good jerky yesterday though!

Anyone make it out?

[lung buster]

I just got back. It was a great morning to be out. It was 28 here when I left this morning :bouncy: . All I seen was a button head that would not leave me alone.... Did see some fresh scrapes on the way out. Another week and it should pick up big time around here :whistle:

[six-point]

walked through the woods yesterday. didn't see any scrape or rub activity. got a young and little 8pt on camera at the feeder. can't wait til the weekend to get back out!!!

[lung buster]

I took out another nice doe this evening :bouncy: I busted her lungs @ 15yds & she ran about 30yds and fell over.:D I seen 7 new fresh scrapes tonight. I may have to start letting the girls walk and see what may be following them ;) Good luck guy's!!

[5Cent]

Excellent job LB! That picture is awsome,lol:D

Congrats on #2 and way to keep Team #18 Flatliners on top of the board!

I made it out on Monday and last night, but had no luck. Sat in a ground blind both evenings after work, but didn't see a lick. It was great to be back in the woods again.

Sounds like you have a great chance to see a decent buck LB. Let them woman walk for the next few weeks and there shall surely be a stud behind them:mischeif:

[six-point]

congrats LB!!!

[5Cent]

How's everyone doing? I finally made it out early last week and on Saturday morning, but no luck. Finally got a chance to see some deer so the spirits are definitely higher and all I can do is think about hunting all day at work:yikes:

Good luck to all you guys as the heat picks up. Keep the pressure on and in the 10 ring!

[lung buster]

I made it out this morning. It was cold and very windy. I did rattle in two 1.5 yr. olds. One came from my north and the other from my south and they met by my stand. They locked horns and pushed each other around for a couple of minutes......It was pretty cool to watch but I wanted one of their grandpa's!!!!!! I will hit it again in the morning.

That would be pretty neat LB. Were they alittle hesitant, or did they head right towards each other w/o missing a beat?

[six-point]

went out the other morning but didnt see anything, patterns must have changed with the corn coming in.

The smaller one was hesitant. He ran away at first but came back to get his butt kicked.
I did rattle another small one in the next morning and he had a big chunk of hide missing on his back where he had been fighting.
Im going to head out shortly to a spot that I have been saving, maybe a big old nasty Halloween buck will come through looking for a Slick Trick :eek:

[5Cent]

Well, put a nice 27yrd shot on a doe last night from the ground. Tracked her into pickereal creek until 8:45pm and returned this morning after talking with the ODNR and making sure I could proceed. The arrow was fully covered with nice dark red blood, but after 300yrds, the book trail disappeared. Tough to call it quits, but she's coyote food by now:irked:

Good luck to night LB and to the rest of the team this weekend!

[six-point]

Got out this morning for a couple hours. Had a nice sized doe come in, but a little too far for me to feel comfortable shooting. She didn't stick around long either. Thought maybe she was being pushed, but waited about 30 minutes and didn't see any more.

Not much in the way of buck activity in the woods. I have only seen one rub and one scrape, but thats normal in my woods.

Nothing going on tomorrow ...so you know where you'll find me.

[5Cent]

Man this weather stinks! My brother and I are going to get together around 2:30pm and head to Wellington to hunt public land. Time to fight some skeeters:rant:

[six-point]

tough luck there 5cent. Things will get better!

[oobuck]

Hunted all day Sat. 1/2 hr. before dark had a very large ten point come right in. He got a free pass as I did'nt have a buck tag. After it got dark, all hell broke loose in the woods when I was walking out. I heard grunting and chasing, sounded like they were running all around me. I snuck out of there, figuring to be back in there in couple days to try for a doe.

[lung buster]

THe rut is on!! I stuck this buck last evening around 5:00 pm. He was chasing 2 does, I hit the can call and threw in some buck grunts and he gave me a 5yd shot. It took me awhile to find him because I hit him in the liver but I stuck with it and I'm happy as a hunter could be :bouncy: !!

Great job LB! That is a great looking buck! I'm really leaning towards the Slick Tricks and this is just another example of their cutting ability. A liver shot can be hard and seem like it never ends, but way to keep The Flatliners alive! Add them 13pts in 45:D

Looking at the scoreboard, I don't think we are going to get credit for my doe. I was thinking we had 3 does. Guess I'll have to get a couple more!

Did you enter a doe and I somehow missed scoring it? You need to post a picture in the contest scoring thread or I might not see it...

You can enter one doe and one buck in the contest.

I believe our score is right.
oobuck= 1 buck (7pt)
Lung buster= 1 doe + 1 buck (8pt)
Six point= 1 doe


Total 35 points

Lung Buster got a second doe, and held off entering it, due to waiting on a buck, which he got the other day.:)

So I'm not "totally" crazy!

got out this AM...had a decent doe walking around for about 20 minutes...plenty of opportunities..but didn't want to mess with cleaning her.

You better be eating up every moment you have a deer in front of you, I haven't seen one that wasn't running full speed, 100 yards away, in the opposite direction, besides last week.

It's enough to make a man go crazy!!:yikes:

9:15am......Greg why aren't you in the stand:tsk:

I'm pulling every card in the deck on the wife, it's being a tough fought battle which may result in me living in my truck for a week, but it will be well worth it to see you boys and SE Ohio again!

It's the quiet before the storm for me....heading down south this weekend and hope to atleast have a doe taggin along with me back home. Good luck to the rest of you guys, we can't be satisfied with 5th at this point!

I wanted to get out this afternoon/evening...but i think it's a little too warm and windy.

[oobuck]

Been trying to squeeze in a little pheasant and duck hunting. Will be hunting Mich. firearms opener tomorrow, hopefully I have some pics to post. I am going to try a couple more archery hunts in Ohio, time permitting. My friend (landowner, Ohio) shot a doe out of one of my stands two evenings ago. He saw a total of 13 that evening. Good-luck guys, I'll check back later.

[johnc21]

Im still after them fellas. Im seeing lots of bucks just trying to get one to cooperate. I had a nice one at 38 yards the other day. He was facing me so I passed. Thats a little father than I like. I will take care of the doe later.

Happy Thanksgiving to my teammates and everyone at OS! :chicken:

Sorry...closest thing to a turkey I could find :)

[5Cent]

Hey guys, how's everyone doing?

I made it through the weekend of great eating w/o the stomach bursting, so I'm doing well. I hunted my butt off all weekend, and didn't have any luck.

Here I sit Monday morning of gun season at work. How's everyone else doing out there:bouncy:

[johnc21]

Had to wear my harness sitting on the ground strapped to a tree to keep from blowing away. I can honestly say I wished I had worked today! I dont put much into gun season. I will get the bow back out next week. Good Luck guys and be safe.

I shot a young buck...it's posted on another thread. Chose bow though...can't count it for the contest.

It wasn't that windy where I was hunting...kind of surprised.

[six-point]

Anyone still hunting?

[5Cent]

Yep, I'm still hitting it decently hard. Hoping to get out tonight, but don't know if work will allow it.

[lung buster]

Just checking back in to see if anyone has been whacking anything. I shot another doe during gun week and a coyote during gun weekend. I missed a doe during muzzy season:nono: , so I guess that I will be getting my bow back out in a week or so to get some more freezer meat!! I attached pics of the gun doe and coyote. Good luck to all still at it!

nice pics!

Looks like my hunting is about over...I'm back to work and off to Denver Monday :(

[5Cent]

Well guys I've finally got em coming into the side yard to the corn:mischeif:

Time to put some meat in the freezer and some more points on the board. It's been a blast this year so far and I would say we have held our own. Anyone else still at it?

My Ohio deer season ended Nov.30 I hunt in zone A, outside of urban zones (cant use antleress tags in this zone after Nov. 30) :irked: I would have liked to add a doe for our team total, but it didnt work out. I had a good hunting season chasin animals in Ohio, Michigan , and Colorado. Good-luck to the rest of the team for the remainder of the season.

If you did not already shoot one, then you can still be hunting. The antlerless tags are the additional tag not the regular one.

I shot a buck on the archery opener Zone A,and tagged it with the either sex tag ($24). You may only use 1 either sex tag ($24) in in zone A. I had a antleress tag ($15) but it was only valid to No. 30 in zone A (outside of urban areas).Frustrating to say the least, that I cannot participate in late archery season up here.:nono::irked: :irked: :irked: :irked: :irked:
The buck I shot was included in our team point total.


Now get this. If I shot a doe on the opener and used the $15 tag and still had my either-sex tag, I could still be hunting. Explain that logic to me.:irked::irked: :irked: :irked:
