    Just entered my buck in a contest one of the tooling suppliers at work is having.

    1st place $1,000 Bass Pro gift card

    2nd $500 gc

    3rd $250 gc

    Be nice to get that 1st place. I really don't know what their customer base is in size, but hoping not many enter lol.

    Kudos to you for holding off on a shot just outside of your comfort zone. There are more people than you think that are unable to do that. Good luck on the next hunt.

    That'd be a nice little prize. Let me know if you need any help spending it if you win it :wave:.

    They required the standard measurements.

    Mine had a 14 4/8 tip to tip and 20 4/8 greatest spreads.


    Let me view other entries and there was 2 others but was the same.

    Deer kicked ass all over mine, had 28" main beams, 7" bases, 18 points and a weight of 170. Didn't look like they uploaded photos so hopefully it was just someone messing around or they tested the submition form twice.

    The stupid thing about it, they sent out the info and you had to sign up and they would send you a hat. You have to have the hat on in the pictures with your buck. Well, they didn't send it out until Nov. 10th 2 days after I killed my buck. The sales rep came today and had some hats so I went ahead and sent what I hope is enough photos to prove my kill and them had one with the hat holding the antlers. Mean mugging and everything :lol:

    It was probably the hardest thing I have encountered in all my years of hunting. I've had plenty of opportunities at them, but one thing or another goes wrong. I haven't felt my heart beat like that all season. That's why I love being a hunter!

    Looks like Fitz updated the score. He did not enter wi p&y's buck because it did not have the Date & Time. We are also waiting for jjnowak's score too. With those 2 entered we will definitely be setting in First Place.

    I just noticed that he had 2nd place listed twice. I sent Fitz a message to correct.

    Just think about how much better your time together with your dad will be if he gets that big buck.

    I'm going to do what I can. MD season goes until January 31. I'm trying to take a doe. Couldn't pull the trigger on two different does this past weekend. They were inside of 10 yds. I have about 8 days before rifle kicks in. I still have time.

    But think of the stories I’ll be able to tell my kids about their grandpa letting me get him.

    Not sure if any of you guys pay attention to the live from the stand thread, but I posted these there.

    Put my hands on the biggest set of antlers that I may ever have a chance to. Guy from work found these sheds almost 18 years ago not far from where I currently live.

    The right one(deers right) has a busted off tine. Makes me wonder whether a slug did it or maybe a fight. Just an incredible thing to have in ones hand
