    I don't really have an opinion or don't really care what anyone uses to name their bucks when they shoot one on these hunting forums. I will say that when a certain 2 people I know very well from my area tell me they saw a big buck It's most likely a 110 Inch buck. To me that's not a big buck but to them It Is. These 2 gentleman I referred to don't see hardly any older bucks and hunt the same stands 100 times a year so I guess 110 Inches will always be big to them which Is fine.

    I don't care for the whole BBD thing. Although I know "big" is relative, on a board like this BBD should be used when the buck reaches a more "universally accepted" big. P&Y + is a good start.

    But does it really matter?

    Hey PM you cell number... so I can text you and congrat you on having a great mom who has not one BBD but two BBD down !! I might even ask how the fishing is going... Mr. No BBD I'm Too Busy Fishing ( TBF).

    Then I can ask you for her number so she can text me and help me get a BBD. One of us might as well take advantage of her knowledge on putting a BBD. :tu:

    Hey, a P&Y buck here is one that nets 75. A buck here with head gear that scores in the 90's might be over 8 years old and weigh over 200 lbs. I'm definitely using BBD for that!!

    Sucks for the team that draws me as a teammate for the contest...

    That's why we (originally) used a multiplier, you shouldn't be penalized nor your team... like you said, 90's is a monster in your species... LOL

    Add "hit list" to the over used & annoying terms.

    I have used BAB (Big Azzed Buck) since the early 80's, like befor Tif had Pubes, Don't get to use it that often, and no ones going to stop me if I get the chance.

    A 140" 8 pointer looks like a BAB to me no matter what state I'm in.

    I think there should be a BBD editor. All BBD entries need to be run through this person before they can be posted as being a BBD and I think Vito should be this person.

    Big bucks are like pretty girls. I've never seen one that I regretted looking at.

    You shoot some eye candy - you just send it to Uncle Quikkie's cell phone, and I'll oblige by scoping it out. If it's really big, I might even save it to my phone's hard drive, so that I can use the "Zoom" feature.

    I don't give a rat's ass how big it really is. I just love looking at bucks. I love it all the more when they're bucks shot by my homeboys.



    To the list of over-used terms: "Let him walk." It's like fingernails on a chalkboard.
