congrats redram! I'll contact Rob to see if we can enter it... go ahead and score it and submit it... It looks like you have enough intact.

congrats tim. if they dont let it count who cares its your first deer. but, you should get to enter another buck if you kill one and they dont let this one in. we need our team captain to give the team hopefully good word on it now

Very nice - and honest (it would have been tempting for me to throw on a camo shirt and take a pick in the backyard in front of a bush or something). Congratulations,

Nice buck Redram! Congrats on your very first buck. It better be on our scorecard!

Congrats on your first buck. Very nice deer. Do you have any pictures of you with him before you cut him up without the bow. You MIGHT be able to post both pictures and get a captains vote. You might be told no. They have made it a strong point that you know it is required. I hope they let it count. As for entering another one I don't think they will do that if they don't allow this. Also in the rules it says your first buck and if they hold you to the rule about the bow they will probably hold that one as well.

Regardless it is a great buck. Do you have the story that goes with it? Congrats again.

RedRam -

Ive got word from Rob (contest moderator) to enter the buck. I'll probably have to start a thread where all captains vote on it. But dont worry, as your captain I'll make sure we get the points..

Again, congrats!

Way to go and congratulations on your first. I came real close yesyerday to adding a buck to the list. I had a decent 8 pointer cruise by around 4:00. He actually came by twice. The first time I counted only 6 points and that didn't make him legal. I thought for the size of the deer it was odd he was only a six. He came back exactly on the same trail he left about 2 minutes later and i grabbed the camcorder and filmed him for a brief time. He was in a hurry. He wasn't stopping for anything(steady walk). I watched the tape last night and he's actually an 8. Just couldn't see those brow tines while he was moving. Oh well there's still time for a bigger one to come along. Good Luck all.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'll get the score posted this weekend I left all the measurements in my buddy's truck and the deer is at the taxidermist.

Any word on the captains vote?

2 evenings ago one of my archery hunting buddies stuck himself a 156" 5x5. They are starting to get some serious Pre-Rut action going on. I can't wait till monday when I'll get a chance to go out again!
