well fellas i guess the deal is done, looks like Alwyshnt's buck is disqualified... seems pretty ridiculous if you ask me... i could just as easily shoot a deer w/ a gun, put my bow in the pic and say i killed it w/ a bow... I really dont see why having the bow in the pic makes the photo legit...If people want to cheat they are going to cheat regardless, and i know how easy it is to forget to get everything in the pic....
Rules are Rules and we all know better... We cant start making special exceptions for everyone...

I PM'd rob to see if alwys is diqualified permantly or if he can enter another buck... Which im sure he will say Alwys is disqualified...

Doesnt matter anyway what are we playing for anyway, braggin rights?? That picture alone is bragging rights enough!! I'd just be happy to kill a deer, so enjoy those backstraps by broadhead, you killed a fine animal Alwys...

So remember guys and gals, keep your bow in the pic...


...and for that matter make sure you tattoo your social security number on your forehead and submit detailed photos of the entry and exit holes on the animal... dont forget finger prints on the bow and rack too...

Sorry guys about the whole Pic thing....I bet ya I'll remember it next time...Anyhow the only thing I feel bad about is letting my teammates down...

dont worry, If it turns out that we woulda won w/ your score included we'll make sure everyone knows it!!


Im tempted to file a complaint though... the rules also clearly state that "entire deer must be in the picture" Well if you look at 1/2 the pics you only see a partial deer... i guess we've got some line drawing problems here dont we.....

I think we should all leave our bows out to prove a point.......it's just for braggin rights (For Fun) but yet why all the rules.......There are a lot of rules that aren't being followed by the guys but nobody has said anything yet.......Just remember that it is just for fun and no matter what you shoot you will remember the hunt forever .........Its still a good buck Alwyshntn and a memoryyou will have forever......

Pathetic ruling!!! now the rest of us just have to man up!

You handled the situation with Class!!! Make me proud to be a hunter!

Yea I agree, thanks for having some class, I bet he'll look really good on your wall, I cant imagine how some other members would have handled it

Well fellas I leave you with GOOD LUCK and STAY SAFE.....I hope that you guys that have been getting so close lately get to be rewarded this weekend....As for me I'm headed to the MO-IA border for the opening of MO rifle season tommorrow....I got my muzzleloader all sighted in and I'm ready for a fun weekend w/ good friends.....I'll bring pics back and I'll even practice getting the weapon in them....LOL

I think the 'ruling' is bologna too. Don't worry about letting us down. You still scored for the team in my book.

Well guys , only 2 more hunts for the regular archery season , then i gotta wait til the day after X mas for the late season..... i might be taking the bow to a little honey hole in the nieghborhoods tho during rifle so we will see..... the bucks r moving tho , so well see.....
