season starts next saturday for me but it is my weekend to be on call so i wont be getting out, i still have till december 18th before season ends so i have plenty of time. good luck everyone.

my refuge Hunt starts tomorrow, 10/19 although I plan on looking for for a while unless something good comes along immediately.

Just checking in. Won't be hunting until November. Keep your powder dry!

I guess nchawkeye will not be participating.

Did he notify you as such, or is this an absentia thing? If so, he's been posting around, so I don't know why he would be ignoring this. I'm sure you've sent him a PM or two.

yes i did pm him, he simply stated he did not believe in contests and was not participating which is fine, but why he posted this in the original sign up thread "where do us doe killers sign up", i will never know.

If no one signs up I got a replacement . They are not a forum member but I could take photos and post the results.

sdhunter - What the hell? That makes no sense. I guess he was being sarcastic when he replied in that thread. At any rate, I don't think anyone is taking this contest seriously. It's just for fun. I hope no-one on this forum hunts harder just because they are in a contest. If it takes a contest to make you hunt harder, you've got problems.

yea i dont know why he posted either, if you do not like contests, then dont post in the contest thread. Simple enough aint it?

I just see this contest as a way to post pictures of my (hopefully) successful hunts and maybe help this team earn some points. It is not like your team gets a lolly pop or anything so why anyone would hunt harder, i guess i dont know either.

Team 1 is on the board with 450 points. Should have been 500 but one brow tine is broken off. I will get photos up later . Still processing him.

Nice buck magic

Well pluckit just pm'd me and josmund is our new team member. We are finally a full team lol.

Hey Fellas,

I'll hunting the rifle season with the Muzzy in KS. Our season starts the first Wednesday after Thanksgiving. I've been on a good run the last few years but you never know for sure. I'll give it a good go, that's all I can promise. I'll keep you updated.

Jeff

500 more points for our team. Will get pics posted after church tomorrow

Added a photo in the above post. This deer was taken in Nebraska , now i hunt at home in South Dakota.

Worst 100 points ever...
 

...but still 100 points! Not to worry...MM has got us covered, LOL! Awesome bucks, Magic!


I thought this one was a little doeling. Whoops. Cost me a buck tag.

Is that how it works in Virginia with buck tags? If true they need to change that law. It would be pretty tough to see those little points no matter how close they are. In MN its only a legal buck if 1 of the spikes are over 3 inches long. If not you can throw your doe tag on it if you have one.

Definitely considered a buck. If any portion of the antler is sticking through the skin, you gotta tag it as a buck. Here is the guide: http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/hunting...ns/antlers.pdf

This is the second time in a row I've shot a buck thinking it was a doe. I should have learned my lesson the first time, so this will be very good reminder to check and double check if I want to keep my buck tags. We get three buck tags in this area of VA, so it really isn't a big deal from that perspective.

500 more points for team 1.

Awesome stuff MM! You are a one-man team. :)

congrats magic, I really wanted to shoot a buck with my gpr but i went out with some friends who like to walk the draws and i did not feel comfortable shooting at a deer on the run with the muzzy so i used my 7mm and ended up tagging a nice 4x4 but i saved my doe tag for the muzzy. Maybe next year i will draw the any deer muzzy tag with any luck lol.

400 Points for my Contribution
 

Team One,

Last week I had my change to hunt in KS. We're only allowed one antlered deer in KS. It's not my best work but here it is. As you can see it a busted up rack. If it all was there it would be a dandy but tis is what I have.

The deer was going left to right through the trees about sunrise. I could see the nice tall tines and thought if it steps out past the last tree I'm shooting. He stepped and I shot. I was bummed when the rack was busted up but here he is ( mines the smaller one on the right ):



Picture of the tag:



I used my Omega at 135 yards, 100 grains BH209 and Scorpion PT 300.

My buddy shot the 10 point with a CF. Oh yea, I have a doe tag I'm gonna fill if my daughter doesn't shoot here deer.

Score me a zero for M/L deer. It is only the third day of late M/L for me, but duty calls at work.

I did manage to get frost bite on my nose, so deduct 25 points from my team. I have hunted much colder and never had that happen. I must have poor circulation any more?
