Deer contest

bang250bang250 Member Posts: 8,021
I copied all this from buckeys Mathews Hoyt thread. How about some input from everyone else. Then we can get names of those that want to particapate and draw teams and get started.

quote:Ok I like it. Hows everyone else feel? 2 person teams, bow kill only, must post a pic to score, 50 pts for does, score bucks here http://www.luckybuck.org/index8824.html

Should we limit the number you can enter? 2 per team member/ 1 buck 1 doe? What do you all think? lets get some input.

quote:I like that idea, only you get one chance to post a buck. If you shoot one later in the season that is larger you are out of luck.

    I'm getting the rule from another web site provided they give me the permission to use. They will need a little modification but I think it will make it open to everyone including crossbows where legal.

    NOt really, If I only get 2 doe that would only be 100pts, say you shoot a 110 or 120 buck and a doe now your at a score of 160, 170. Also remember you would have a team mate.

    Only can enter 1 buck 1 doe or 2 doe. Or in your case maybe we can give you a 50 pt for a hog instead of doe. Just a thought we don't have to do this I just thought it might be fun. That would be one of the rules, you have to have fun.

    some of my friends had a hunting contest for small game we had a point system for it. like 10 points a rabbit 25 a yote so on and so on....

    how about this 100 points a doe or buck every point the buck has is worth 10 point each. we cant go by the bc score because of the geographical distances A nice shooter buck for me or gagirl for example would be passer shot say by buckey boy in illonoise so if we have a set point scale by the number of points the deer has we would be all set. so say a buck thats has 8 points would be worth 100+80 for a score of 180. Does would be like gift points they are worth a flat rate of a 100 points with a maximum of 200 points per team. To even it out for everyone we can have other critters worth points as well say like a hog 75 points, coyote 20 points turkey 25 points.

    the teams can be set like this everyone that is in will be put into a hat and the names drawn, 2 at a time and then your partner will be announced on here

    Here is a prelimanry of the rules from another site


    All deer will be scored using this website link by gross Pope and Young scoring total. http://www.luckybuck.org/index8824.html

    1. It doesn't matter how many states you hunt...one buck and one doe or one doe and a second doe* (for people who don't shoot a buck) will count for your score, no matter where taken. The first one entered will be counted...even if you kill the world record the following week.

    2. NO PIC OR VID, NO SCORE. All pics should be tasteful (don't worry too much about tongues hanging out, but no pics of a skinned deer hanging over a pool of blood in a junked up garage.) You must post a pic or post a video link of your harvest to count as scored!

    3. All does, button bucks and bucks scoring under 50 pts. count as 50 points.

    4. Crossbows are allowed in states where legal.

    5. Final deer entry date will be Feb 28th 2007 . All deer must be entered by then.

    6. Bow kills only...no gun, as it is an Archery contest...see crossbow rule above.

    10. Your bow must be somewhere in the picture.

    11.You MUST have fun!

    I understand what your saying but keep in mind I had never shot a buck that would have scored over 50 pts until last season.
    So had I participated like something like this in the past I never would have gotten more that 100 total pts.

    I borrowed the rules from AT and they have people all over the country and the system seems to work for them. With modification of course I took out the mule deer, elk, moose rule but we can put it back in if someone would like.

    Sounds like fun. I would rather see it a "fun contest" rather than one with prizes. I know this is for the most part a good bunch, and would hate to see someone tempted to cheat.
