My vote goes to mo ,If you haven't killed a buck with you bow ,maybe you shouldn't pass up a new personal record.I have never been able to do that. It will take luck to win this thing with high score.I would rather be the1st. team to go 10 for 10 .I think 10 bucks that average 90" will win this contest. I always think positive or I couldn't get out of bed to set in a stand.

I know what your saying but also don't be forced to shoot a buck that you won't be happy with. This is my third year in this contest and the last two years I have not taken a buck with bow. It's not that I don't have ample opportunities to take a buck....heck in my one spot I was passing on about 11 bucks a night. I'm not so worried about getting a buck every year. It's more about getting experience for me and spending time out in deer country. Last year I was going after a certain freak buck. I hunted him for about a month but it didn't pan out. During that time I pass on several upper 130's and a very nice low 140 5x5.
This year I am aiming for 140 or better or if I get hooked on a certain buck than I don't care about score.
