can aussies join

Yes, They can.

No kangaroos with antlers wired to their skulls, though.:D

Didn't you take the gun in picture rule out last year? If the rule is in there then keep it in for the whole time.

HMMMM can't edit our onn replies i guess. Maybe you should hilight the rule about the gun in the picture to clear that up.

No I didn't take the gun rule out.

Yeah I got to thinking after I posted and remembered we had a vote but it didn't get changed.

damn that was what I was to do,just joking but that was a good one.:cool2:
the aussie will win going out this weekend

how do you join up:confused:

Go here --> http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/deer...signup-13.html

And copy, and paste your username after the last number.

thanks for that

Just wondering where did the "no deer having been shot more then 22 times" rule come from?

probably(spelling) for the bows and semi-autos

That was supossed to be a joke.
I have never seen a deer that had to be shot more than 22 times, lol

Ok just checking. The first time I read it two years ago I laughed and thought that it must be a joke, then it showed up again last year and this year. I got to thinking maybe there is a story behind it. With some of the junk people have talked about doing on here you never know.

Can Canadians join? Or are the deer too big?

yea you can join i think in the rules it says anyone can join.

Yes you can, the more the better.

when are you drawing teams jrbsr?

August 31st.
The teams will be posted about 1 to 2 weeks after.

Thats less than 2 shots from 3 1/2 00 buckshot

I was a joke about being shot 22 times from a rifle. :s4: lol

Three questions about does in this contest.

One doe per team (as mentioned in the rules below) or one doe per team member?
One deer per team member or is the doe a bonus above and beyond the antlered deer entered?
Does the doe have to be antlered to count? Not sure if this rule is for those rare instances where an antlered deer has the wrong equipment. Personally, I like rewarding the harvest of does as we have way too many in Wisconsin. I harvested 6 last year and 9 the year before that. 1 so far this year....

"3. Antlered deer, including doe's, if it's tagged with a tag it's in.
For the states, or country that don’t use tags, there in too.
Does will count as 25 points.

One Doe will count toward your team.
The Doe will count 25 points.

The Doe rules will be the same as the buck rule.

You, and the Doe and the Gun, and the tag ( For the states that require a tag ) in a picture."

Sorry for what may seem as lame questions. I never really got a grasp of this last year and never entered my doe(s).

Thanks,

1 antlered buck, and 1 doe per team member, buck score + 25 points for = total for that team member.
And the doe dosen't have to have antlers.

I did it this way because some of us just don't get a buck for different reasons, and it's a way for them to have a score for their team.

And its not a lame question, The only lame question, is the one not asked.

I just signed up to be an alternate, so I am not sure if I will even be on a team this year. But I do have a quick question...

I can kill 2 bucks in my area. If I use the first one, but then shoot one larger, can I replace the one that I already submitted? If so would I just make another post with the new picture and edit the original?

You will be on a team after Oct 31st, make sure to check back.
You use the bigger of the two bucks.
And you can make two different posts.
After all, the smaller one will still look good.

Now go get a Big Booner.

Good Luck

why is bowhunting excluded?

Because there is a contest in the Bowhunting forums, for the bows.

Go here --> http://huntingnet.com/forum/2009-201...g-contest-104/

Rob/PA Bowyer does the bow contest, and I do the gun contest.

I hope this answers your question.
