Re: Big Buck Contest interest
I am thinking it would need to be divided into 3 groups 1. Biggest Bull Elk 2. Biggest Mule Deer Buck 3. Biggest Whitetail Buck
I am going to ask if the site sponsors would like to offer up hats, t-shirts, decals to the winners. I hope to finalize the contest rules and prizes as soon as the pole ends and I know there is enough interests to make it worth dealing with.

Re: Big Buck Contest interest
would we use net or gross scores

Re: Big Buck Contest interest
Gross scores because I can't stand deductions and they should get credit for everything they grow.

Re: Big Buck Contest interest
I run a deer contest down here in Texas.
www.venadogrande.com
One thing to consider is who'll be doing the scoring...
Good luck with the contest, I think it would be cool even if it's just for fun, bragging rights, and to see everyone's pictures and hear the hunting stories.
Good luck!

I will make this a rifle and muzzleloader contest and use the Boone and Crocket score system. IF I am able to get a hold of a few things from site sponsors and someone is willing to lie about an animals score just to get it then they must need it worse than everybody else.

Re: Big Buck Contest interest
We don't grow deer as well here as the rest of the country but I think it would be fun to be involved just see what others are doing!

Shotty's are ok. No archery though, I am already in a contest on a Archery forum and this is after all a firearm forum. We will use the Boone and Crocket score system.

Re: Big Buck Contest interest
Alright then, the pole has ended. If you all will be patient with me I will finalize some rules and regs. I am not going to get real crazy with them since I would like this to just be good clean fun. I hope to have something up by Monday or Tuesday for all of those who want to be included in the contest.
