Hunting & Fishing Big Buck Contest interest

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

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.

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.
