You want the contest to finish with not all the bucks counted?? Seems like a waste to me........all that effort for nothing. I would be saying the EXACT same thing if Team 8 or any other team has a buck that hasn't been counted. What is the use of a contest if you are not gonna count all the deer??

It is about time that you guys realize that this has NOTHING to do with winning or losing. It is all about just doing things correctly. Cougar Mag seems to be the only one able to see that so far.


No one suggested that.


If he shot a buck I hope it gets counted.........just like everyone else.


That is a VERY lame thing to say...........it is very sad that we cannot discuss this topic like adults without people going right to the sour grapes whines.

That is why I did it BEFORE the contest ends...........we should all be mature enough to realize that............sadly it appears we all are not.




Hey.........if it turns out his bucks never gets counted that is just fine by me. I jsut wanted to make sure I brought it up before the contest ended so we didn't mention it down the road and hear other people say "You should have said something earlier"

This is just a FYI kind of thread because I thought everyone else would want to know.


Guess I was wrong.

The problem as I see it is that your man didn't turn his buck in. He's had every opportunity to do so. If in fact the deadline has come and gone the it's to late. Now you can counter every post on this thread but you ask for a solution and the only one that you're going to agree with is the one that says he still has time. So far it looks like the majority says it's to late, so it seems to me that that is the solution. Contest Over.

I guess you are right, only Cougar seems to care.

I notice you didn't respond to the fact that alternates were put in when members didn't respond to the team.

I understand your concern with all of the bucks not getting entered. But if I counted right, so far there are 56 guys knew what to do for their buck to count. So it seems the effort was put in by the people that wanted to make the effort.


I applogize if I offended you. I didn't even really think that would offend you. So I am sorry.

But you said it yourself, we are adults and he had the responsibility of turning in his buck and he didn't. Case closed in my opinion, even if he comes in 3 weeks later and tries entering it.


The deadline is the 15th according to Rob, to accomodate the longer seasons in the south.


Once again atlas, I applogize for offending you.

With this being said, I am not going to further this conversation any further. It is a pretty open and shut case if you ask me.

I guess it should be later then because it seems a lot of teams had members fall off the face of the earth.......yours included. With people that want to participate and couldn't........that is a shame.

The contest goes to Feb 15th as far as I can tell from Rob's posting so I don't know what you are trying to imply.

No one has offered an idea of what if anything should be done at all. Every reply has been from team 8 saying "We don't care but......Sorry.........rules are rules and you're too late"

Well it appears that it is not too late so can we drop all the pettiness and figure out what if anything can be done to insure all bucks killed are counted??

Can you give me a minute man...........I am installing a new refridgerator I bought today so sorry if my hands aren't on the keyboard 24/7. I responded now.......geeesh


Couldn't agree more..................and this is not about any single person. The entire contest will be a waste of time if all the bucks are not counted. That is the real shame of this.


No problem...........I appreciate you being man enough to apologize when your words offend someone.........whether you meant it or not. That's more then I can say for some people around here. Sorry if I took your comment out of context.


I agree............and once the contest is closed it is closed. That is why I brought this up now. I really thought anyone involved with the contest would want to solve this if possible before it wraps up.................No one is asking for a buck to be added late or dishonestly. I am really surprised at the amount of negative responses this has gotten. You would think that no one would have a problem with a legally killed buck being entered before the contest ends.

The contest is still open as far as I know...............so what is the problem?? All I am suggesting is that we try and figure out what kind of pics we have of Spotlights deer and go from there. If they are unacceptable then so be it...........but to just pretend he didn't shoot a buck is very odd IMO.

From my research, he said he didnt get any pictures of the buck he shot..

So........ I dont know what to tell ya.

Can't go by word of mouth, thats for sure.

Atlas, unless your man can produce a photo, there is nothing left to do. If a pic of the rack was produced, I guess team captains would have to vote as to the authenticity of the kill, since no deer or bow photos exist.

DC is right.

Best thing we can do is first get ahold of him and have him produce a picture of the said buck. Something is better than nothing. Then as DC said put it to a team captain vote if the pics a vague.

That is why captains were put into place IMO

Other than that I would say we are on a dead end street here.

FINALLY.................someone offers an idea. I have sent out another PM and email to him to see if he can produce a pic of any kind.


Thanks for being objective.
