With no prior experience or scouting on a property, I think the guys already from Michigan could have an advantage. Yeah they might not of hunted it before but I’m sure they know someone who has and have heard stories. I don’t know half the hunters they do and I’d know where to go for new ground just from living in this state.

If Andy May is apart of the Wired to Hunt team he will have a very good understanding of MI public and knows what’s what. I don’t have too much confidence in Jeff Sturgis after his approach video and hearing pop up blind. John Eberhart knows the majority of the state so the tethered team could have the advantage there too, but will they have the stealth? I’ll vote for team BEAST or if Andy is a part of Kenyons team, he could be force to recon with.

To much home field advantage. Someone is going to be on a big one fast if Andy n John are in or have any doing in assisting. I see a slob going down. Maybe 2. I don't count out Jeff S. He has killed some great Michigan bucks.

Yeah....not much talk about Andy, but we all know what he is capable of. I believe they will be right up there with Dan and Joe. And I still don't get the whole Eberhart "helping" team Tethrd thing. :think:

Is Mark Kenyon hunting in the challenge? Haven't heard him mention it at all on his podcasts - maybe I missed it.

My thoughts are what class of buck would cause a participant to let one fly right out the gate? Would a 100" 8pt your first evening out be sufficient? What about day 4? Would a hunter who ended the contest with a 105" buck be placed ahead of a hunter who let three 110" class bucks walk on camera day 1 and 2? And is anyone using the smoke scent that truly works?

I have heard a few different line ups. So I'm not sure who will be or won't be there.

Andy and Mark have decided not to come... I was looking forward to Andy. But would love to see him fully committed on a future challenge.

Intriguing day if forecast proves true for this Friday-if hunting Friday
I've not caught week or location you hunting, but above is southern MI forecast-can vary greatly north to south with lake affect though.
