    Okay I think this would be a cool little contest to do. If I get a buck this year I will post different angles of him. I will probably let it go for two days maybe more. The person who can get closest to the score wins it doesn't matter if you go over. I just need ideas for a prize. I don't want it to be expensive. Maybe $20-$25 max or I might find something I have laying around worth more. It doesn't have to be hunting related just something nice for $20. So start posting some ideas and if I find something I'll tell you guys and you can let me know if it's good. Just to clarify, it will start if I get a buck.

    Nobody has any ideas? I'm surprised it looks like nobody wants to possibly win free stuff.

    Well not being able to sleep has brought something to my attention. This year I entered the deer contest for the first year and if I get a buck I will have to show the score. What I'm thinking is if I get a bonus tag I can possibly get two deer. If I get a doe first the score of the buck doesn't matter and is worth 50 points. Since it doesn't matter how big I was thinking I could keep the score to myself until the contest I will have is done after a day and then I can tell the rest of the guys how big it is. I'll have to ask Fitz and then I'll update you guys.

    You score the buck based on its size. A doe is worth an extra 50 points. If you are in a state where you can shoot 2 bucks the 2nd one will count as your doe. It doesn't matter if you shoot the doe first you still get the score of the bucks antlers.

    Okay guys Fitz told me as long as it's only a day or two it's good. So the contest is still on if I get a buck.

    I hope not! I really have been getting a lot of bucks on my trail cam. Most big ones come right at shooting light or right before last light. I get a lot of decent one during the day. But I probably did :lol:

    Okay guys I found a cool looking hawk bow hanger. It's the xtendible bow arm. It's between the hanger and a headlamp right now. You guys decide.

    I'll make a new thread if I get a buck. The contest will start only if I get a buck. That's pretty close to the size bucks I have around at the places I hunt though. I'll post pictures and everything.

    Last time I played one of these games on here, I "won" a gift certificate. That was a couple years ago and still waiting. Just don't be that guy. :evilgrin:

    Oh I won't. I wouldn't want to be that guy. I post a lot on here and I wouldn't want everyone to hate me. Just remember it's not official until I get a buck. But I will get the hanger sometime and save it until I can give it away in the contest.
