Best of luck to all of you guys this weekend!!
I went and took my blind down this afternoon. I took my shotgun along with me and ended up getting 2 pheasants, should have had my limit but i couldnt hit the house from the living room lmao, but it was fun either way. I have spent so much time bowhunting these last few years i think i have forgotten how to shoot a shotgun.

Howdy fellas! Ive updated the thread & re-calculated the scores.
We're leading the contest with 735 2/8 points, with Team Buck-U trailing us in 2nd with 657 7/8 & Team 8 trailing them in 3rd with 557 6/8 points. Team 1 is in 4th place with 544 6/8 points & Team 6 in 5th with 504 4/8.
With the primary rut over & deer moving into their winter patterns, the number of entries will likely slow down. But the caliber of deer may be just as good. Any good entry can change everything, so if youd like to keep this lead & win this years contest I suggest you get your asses out there & kill some more deer.
Ive been hunting like crazy in hopes of scoring a world class buck. Through the rut I passed on so many smaller bucks that Im kicking myself for not arrowing one already. But Im going to hold out till I arrow my 150+. I still have 5 1/2 weeks of bow season to hunt here & after scheduling everything just right, Ill get another good 20 days afield, so Im not going to panic yet. Instead, Im going to utilize my game cams to pick up on their winter feeding patterns & set up an ambush. If it doesnt work out, Ill end up taking one of the smaller bucks on the property, but Im not giving up just yet.
I hope everyone is having or has had a great season. This has been an interesting contest with a great team & Id like to see us win this thing so we can do it again next year. So Jesse, get your ass out there & put a doe down.

You should definetaly knock down a down a doe jesse. The way i see it, if you ever think you have too much venison, just make more jerky lol.
The only doe i killed this year i gave to a friend. I am saving the 2 bucks i got for sausage and jerky (except for the backstraps). Gonna try to get a doe with the rifle in a couple weeks for steaks and roasts.

Even though I'm guessing I wasn't going to see anything, I am still a little disappointed that I did not get out this last weekend. But there may be a little help on the horizon for me. Weather is calling for 4"-6" of snow Wednesday. Finaly a little moisture and if the snow sticks around, I'll be able to see some tracks of where the activity may be. Not giving up quite yet.

Last day of Muzzleloader season today here in NY. I did sign up for a special doe hunt in January to reduce population in a county south of me. Get out there and kill a doe Jesse! I see Team 3 put another 25 pts up there.

BTW...A big kudos to Jason for keeping the participation up on this thread! If you add up the scores of our bucks and divide by the number of team members we only average 53.2" of horns per member. This shows the importance of participation. I like how you layed out the first page with our scored entries as well. Nice to have an attentive Team Captain!!!
