Right on guys. Rules are rules and with out the offical score sheets no prizes will be awarded. Especiallywith how close the unofficial scores were. If you guys don't want to do what you are supposted to do to recieve your prize then don't complain that you haven't recieved them.

Everyone reading and replying to this thread must remember, this is not the signup thread. You must watch for the signup thread come midJuly in the subforum "Bowhunting Contest" forum....linked from here at the top of the page or in the ALL FORUMS page.

Mid July will be the "official" (theres that word again) sign up thread.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Well ok guys. I already once forwarded a copy of my score sheet to Rob months ago. That is why my score was adjusted. I also coresponded with shed last month seeing how nobody had been in contact with me with requests of any kind. Now to say it is my fault is funny, but I will play along and send a copy to you buckeye.Buckeye, surely you must have known my score was turned in long ago, after all my official score was higher than I had scored it and that is what put me back in first. Than for you to accuse me of not playingby the rules and being a complainer is insulting to me and the members of this forum..........Dabow

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

You just ratted yourself out.

You may have sent a copy of the sheet to Rob, but you were supposed to send one to Buckeye.

Buckeye is correct in saying that you didn't play by the rules. You sent your sheet to the wrong person. That is no one's fault but your own.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

I would rather these issues were handled via PM's. Buckeye and everyone else involved were very gratious in this, and to complain is .......well......detrimental to future contests. Please guys, let's get it right, but let's do it privately, please.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Like I said, I'd be wanting to know why. Could have been taken care of long ago it seems. No matter now as long as it gets done. No reason why it wasn't done if some guys knew about it. Stuff happens.

Congrats Dabowhunter on a nice buck!

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Actually I did PM shed over a month ago. Said he'd talk to Buckeye. I would say waiting quietly for almost half a year is long enough.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Okay, okay, this contest was a blast last year and still is. Dabow, you shot a dandy buck, and a big congrats goes out to you again. It's magnificant and the mount is as well.

No one should be insulted, no one is pointing fingers and you should get what you earned with that dandy buck. Please forward a set of your papers to Buckeye, sending them to me was just for me to clearify that your buck was indeed larger than you previously had down and that was a good thing. Corresponding with shed was probably a good idea as well however, please go ahead and forward it to Buckeye. Perhaps tho the other two bucks simply didn't get scored and rightly you have first regardless. Whose to say tho that if officially scored the second place buck was misscored for the contest.

Anyway, congratulations on a tremendous trophy by any means. Please don't take anything to heart from the forum. You deserve you reward and thanks again for participating and for your patience.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Ratted my self out? Get real. Let me tell you something. Rob got a copy of my score sheet and adjusted my score accordingly.Rob or know oneelse said hey you bettersend a copy to Buckeye too. For crying out loud if therewas a rule somewhere that specificaly said Buckeye do you think someone may havereminded me so they could send the prize? I emailed Shed on may 1st regarding contest and told him of me sending score to Rob. He said he would talk Buckeye and let him know. Why sit on prizes for half a year with out contacting the winners? If there are indeed other winners who have been contacted and not responded than scratch that person off the list and move down the list to the next highest score.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Dabow



Actually, I had no idea that you had your deer officially scored. Why?...... You never sent me a copy! I did send you anemail through HNI on 2 occasions. You, deerslayer and motown were the top 3 and I never have received anything from any of you. It was up to those who entered their deer into the contest to send me the official scores. If you were unclear of the rules it is up to you to contact me and get it straightened out.

Rob ran the main contest, I ran the individual contest with much help from Shed. The contestswere not one in the same, so it was not up to Rob or anyone else to tell you to send a copy of your score sheet to me.

If you are going to enter a contest on your own free will it is your responsibility to follow the rules. It isn't up to Rob or anyone else to coach you through step by step.

Since you seem to have all the answers maybe you should run it this year and put up your time and money to sponsor a prize.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Thanks Rob, your a class act. Buckeye, I never got any kind of correspondence from you ever. Perhaps Deerslayer and Motown did not get your letters either. At any rate Shed did tell me via email that he would contact you regarding my score sheet.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

dabow

I sent each of you emails through HNI 2 separate times. Even if I had not it was your responsibility to send me the score sheet. Don't be bitter towards me because you didn't follow the rules untill today.


I just received it today from you and I will give deer slayer and motown another chance to get me their official scores.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

dabow I sent you a PM.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Thanks guys for working it out, everyone had a good time with the contest, let's not start this year off on a bad note. It can be handled via PM and we can all be friends again...;) Besides I want to know exactly what I need to do when I shoot the Booner this year that kicks ARSE...

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

I would definitely like to get on a team...sounds like a good time...maybe we can donate a prize from our site too!

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Even though this contest is a friendly contest... I see a bigproblem this year. How the heck do you trash talk Troy (shed33) since trash talking generally startsthe contest off and is a must??

It is impossible to trash talk himwhen everyone is ... myself included. [:@] Someone has to have some dirt on him so we can just like we did the other champs ( by the way does anyone remember which team was that ?? [:'(]:D) last year.

Troy if you read this... Tyler made me write it... buddy!! The kid is getting big, mean and he scares me!! :eek: :D

Tim

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Well this sissy will gladly shoot a baby 170 class buck. Heck I am easy... any runt of a cull140 or better will do!! That's my A game.

I am a bit of a fortune teller. I see big things in your future come this fall. I am visualizing something on this order...



Go get him!!! :D

Tim

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

I usually reach down and break those little spikers off for tooth picks as they walk by TJF.:D On another note Buckeye i never got an email from you either. You sent one I am sure but i never got it. I hardly ever even read e mail for all the junk I get. I say make Deer slayer 2nd in the contest and I will gladly hold up the third spot with pride. This should solve any problems so you can get the winners their prizes. I thought it was the honor system for scoring our bucks. I did get mine officially scored though at 170 and 3/8 which is 2 inches smaller than I measured myself. We are in the process of moving and the papers are packed away somewhere. So Dabo, is the man with a great buck, followed by Deer slayer for the finest 8 pointer I have ever seen. ( which I thought was under scored) I hope this settles the matter. Peace

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Motown deerslayers fantastic buck is a 10 pointer though [8D]

I will wait to hear back from him and see if he indeed had his buck scored or not before we go any further.

I am curious if HNI email go into spam folders? Perhaps this is why you two may not have recieved the emails?

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

It was a 10 point and I agree it was one fantastic looking deer. Not taking anything away from yours or Dabo's bucks (both great) but Deer Slayer nailed a slammer no doubt. I posted some time ago I thought it was underscored as well.

I think sending the scores to Buckeye is a smart call, he is someone you can definitely call fair and trustworthy.

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Haaaaaaaaa..... It's on...

Motown...I laughed out loud when I read your "sissy" post..that was good!

Dada, I did talk to Buckeye about your concerns if it makes you feel any better, sorry your so bent out of shape.Buckeye told me no one had answered his pm's about official scores and prizes ...That was all I needed to hear from Buck.

Tim, trash it up...geesh I am fromIdaho..isnt thatagood starter rightthere?....heyask Tyler if he's gonna let "Dagger" die of old age. :D

Night all!

less than three months till the opener.....

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Bring on the smack! I'm gettin ready. There's going to be no slacking from me, you know I'm good for it. I've been swimming with sharks, I'm ready! So bring it on!

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

I hope that 1st prize is a big ol box of Kleenex! Would be fitting, wouldnt it?:D

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?
 

Rob, I have but one question. WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU GETTING THOSE KICK ARSE SMILEY'S?????

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?

RE: Bowhunting Contest 2006?

"Well as alot of you know I was in Desert Storm. My dad, grandpa, and both of my brothers are "vets". Tonight, my bday I was in the bar and this guy kept on about all the reasons why we should not be involved ion all the world problems. He may be right insome of them but ,my kid bro is in Afganastan right now and there is not anyone talking chit about our military in front of me! So I let him speak, for a while anyway. Till I cant take anymore. Before long, he has blood on his glasses and I get kicked out! I guess freedom of speach has more bearing than feedom of rights! Tomorow hug a Vet, and fist a protester for me!"

Soon we'll be in the thick of it.
