I agree. I was just stating what we used to do while I was growing up. My father was a fine man, but that was the one area where he let me down[:0][:0] Man thats dissrespectful.[:(] times were different back then we used to run deer with dogs and without tags. thats how he was brought up don't blame him for that. We now have the education they did not. never Dis Dad..[;)]
Buckey - My statement was not made in anyway to disrespect my father. We had a long talk about these things around my 25th birthday. That was about the time that I realized how much he had shaped my life. He was my stepdad and came into my family when I was 11. I resented him a long time. However, instilling the hunting bug in me was one of the greatest gifts that he gave me. I got over my resentment (read, "I grew up").
Anyway, I don't hold anything against him for how he raised me and he went to his grave knowing that I loved and respected him more than any man living or dead.
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) 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 - 11:59 pm. All deer must be entered by then.
6. Elk, moose and bear WILL count as doe score (BUT ONLY 20 points, instead of 50) for participants who aren't allowed to harvest a doe in thier state.
7. Bow kills only...no gun, as it is an Archery contest...see crossbow rule above.
8. Mule deer will have a 20 point reduction in score.
9. You can wait to enter your buck, but not recommended.

Ahh thats what I wanted to hear maybe I missunderstood your statment My dad also passed and although I diddent agree with him on many occations, I diddent relize till he was gone that most things he did he did for a reason. I'm glad you respect him . very important in this day and age. respect seems to be a thing of the past. Any way with that said welcome to the nut house great group of folks here. As far as contest goes its all good I say we we even post some goofey pix and stories of fun in the field. Thats winning my book..[;)]
My opinion is same rules as last year just st dates oct 1 for first post jan 31 last post. to be honest will all I wasany plesed about the lat post winnwer pix the head is cut-off in the pix But really who cares you have to live with yourself. I could easily flub the contest and win "win what" we are all fellow hunters from all over / lets just settle on last years rules and get started..[;)]
One season in hunying means nothing .I have up to6 harvest in one season and one the next. thats hunting. thats just the way it is...
Bennyboy wassssup. were not cool anymore????[8D][8D]
You got it right... no prizes. Keeps people a little more honest if there is no prize out there. Yes Taco and I won the contest last year, and it is all about bragging rights. Taco could have won the thing by himself with that monster he got! I just added a doe, but still it was a team competition.

Whats up with you what happend to practice paticence and persistance. are you telling us you let luck control your sucess. common now Mag chin up your better than that.
OH I'm still going hunting. I'm way too stubborn not too. It's just that I'm not going to get a deer. I see them when I'm not in the stand and see others get them a lot. But when I'm in the stand I'm lucky just to see 2-3 the whole season. The truth is the truth.

who are you?????[:D] where the heck have you been hiding?????[;)]
For the record, I DON'T like the brand teams idea. WAY too many of use shoot Hoyts and some other brand that starts with a "M" (can't remember the name but it's not important) [:o)]. How do we make it even for the brands that have only one or two shooters like Bowtech for example?
My .02 is to draw two man teams like last year. But I'll still be in if everyone else wants to do the brands.[;)]

I still think that there should be 2 or 3 man teams, but grouped by what bow we shoot as well. That way there are more bragging rights at stake.

Oh I kinda like that, Do you think we have enough to do 4 man teams?
You Bowtechers are just a quiet bunch(see my thread about ENOS). I think we can make it work somehow. I know there is a diamond or two here also, not regular posters but they are here. We can bunch ya maybe. Lets see what we end up with and then figure out how to group everyone. Heck, It may not work out but it sounds fun. Key word being fun!
If it gets ugly, and I ain't singling anyone out, but if this cant be fun then there is no point doing it. Let's see who wants to be in and what we got for shooters and then make a decision as a group. And since I started this last season, I mean I'll ram rod it and see what we got and take a majority decision, with bens help if he's up to it, since buckey nominated him as a judge [:D].
Hey Buckey, since I've added my $.02 on all this, and since you've came over to the dark side by buying the HOYT, you can take my two cents for the crappy mathews and donate it somewhere. I here the Specail Olympics could use it![:D][:o)] Glad to hear you bought the Hoyt! Now, get rid of the "other" one and join us for real!!![8D]

How you gonna tell if a doe in a trail cam is the same one someone kills? That one has me scratching my head.
I have a picture from my trail cam of a doe with a very distincive marking. She is missing her front right leg from about 2" below the "knee".[:(] I am truly hoping that I get a shot at her this year.
There has to be definitive proof that it is the same doe.
2. Bonus points if you have a game cam pic. (must be no doubt it's the animal you killed. This could work with bucks or does if there is some way to tell it's the same doe.)[:D]
Hi there fellow bowhunters. I am new to the forum, thunderstick got me interested, and would like to add my matthews and trail cam to the mix. This sounds like a lot of fun and it sounds like I might need my waders to get through the b.s. at the end huh?
What about totaling the top 5 deer from each team? Kind of like a livewell in fishing?
They have to be posted on here within 7 days of the kill, pictures of you, the bow, and the deer(of course). Keep the scores of all the deer, then take the top 5 from each team.
I can put together a spreadsheet once we figure out who the teams consist of and I can enter stats in it, we can make it a sticky, and I'll repost it each time it is updated.
