In all the years Antlereater has entered deer I have yet to see his face and not Rob nor Christine has said anything about the full camo pictures,so where are you going with this? Don't try to run other contestents away from this site, it's just a for fun contest!

Great job Antler Eater!!!!! That is one awesome buck!!!!! I thought when you said you were sure he was at least a 120" it would be a nice buck. I sure didn't expect to see a 182" incher. That is definitely awesome!!!!! I love that drop tine. Hopefully Fieldmouse can get over himself and let it in. This puts us back in the game. Let's go guys don't give up yet. There are still some nice bucks out there to be taken. The 2nd rut should be kicking in and with it getting colder and snowing in some places they will be hitting the food sources hard and also looking for the 2nd round of doe's coming in to heat. Good luck to all. We can still win this!!!!!

Fieldmouse, with all due respect, I will say this as politely as I know how.

How many years have you participated in the Hunting net deer (bow) contest??? I remember you being in the contest before you became a mod (as I recall you shot an Onieda way back when)....Yet you don't remember my full camo pics that were posted every year since the contest's inception???

Your argument has no basis...Contrary to your claims there is no rule to force someone to take a picture for the contest that is not in full camo! Even if I were to show my face, would you recognize me???? Obviously not...

Question one... I suspect you know the answer to this already? If not, don't you have access to archives so see if it has been allowed (you know, being that there is no rule and all!!) Have you asked Rob? Let me help you out.

Question two...What does it tell you that I have been posting these pictures for the contest since the annual bowhunting contest began??? Whether you deem it "acceptable" or not really has no bearing on this years contest. If you want to make a rule change that is fine, I am not going to change mine.

This is the internet, there are no guarantees that the images whether masked or unmasked of a person sitting beside a deer is the person who actually killed it. Of the kills that are on our scoring thread I recognize the bucks equally as well as I recognize the people in the photos. In other words I don't know who the people are or what they look like, yet I accept the premise they killed that deer and I have no problem with that. Why would I have a problem with someone in full camo?

Honestly, this arguement is so elementary if it were not for nine other guys on team eleven I wouldn't even bother to address the issue.

I posted the above here also so Team 11 would know what is going on...I owe you guys that much.

ive been here from the beginning. On the first winning team. I'm sorry I don't recall your pics in that fashion. You could have cleared this up right away had you chose to instead of dragging it out as you did. I even tried to do this off line but your mailbox is full. I stated my reason why, let's move on.

Now that you mention that, I even remember you being on that team.

It is true my mailbox would not accept any more mail, nothing about this was intentional however. Tonight was the first opportunity I have had to address the issue you brought up. You have every right to your opinion, I accept that without issue, but the way you presented it leaves a lot of room for improvement. To assail an individual in the fashion you did will cause people to take a dim view (at best) of our site.

I have presented the facts...I can move on.

Antler Eater.... WHAT ARE THOSE DEER EATING DOWN THERE!? I have to get me some of that! Congrats on another unbelievable (i guess actually unbelievable for some) buck!

Ant Nice buck! All those deer from the past years are very impressive. Its funny... Im on another message board for fishing and the guy always holds his bass infront of his face when he posts pictures, It reminds me of Wilson next door to Tim Allen in tool time. But some people just dont wanna put their mug all over the internet for people to see.

Well guys, I'm glad that mess is taken care of. Hopefully now we can put a couple more on the board and win this thing. I know there have been a couple team members that checked in early then we haven't heard a thin from them. I think I will try and PM them and find out what is going on. Good luck to all that is still trying out there. Hunt hard and hunt safe!!!!!

Awesome job antler!

Let's pour it on guys! We can do this!
