    Here they are, both from federal public land (Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge). Sitka blacktails have a P&Y minimum of 75 as a reference point for those not familiar with them.

    74 6/8" gross

    88 7/8" gross

    Alright guys, tell me if I am doing this right.

    130=P & Y whitetail min
    75=P & Y Blacktail min

    So.... 130/75=1.7333333333

    1.73333333 * 88.875=154


    If that is it then that is one hell of a way to start off our public land bash with our goal as a 100 inch average amongst all participating.

    I'll throw my name in too. Last year I spent about 25% of my time on public land, and also have scouted a new piece of public ground this offseason too.

    Actually whitetail minimum is 125. So 125/75= 1.66666667(88.875)= 148.125 for deer #2 and 1.66666667(74.75)= 124.583 for deer #1

    Do you think you could post a picture of a 100 inch buck just to get an idea of how big it is?

    Sure I could comescrashing...with that being said, shoot WHATEVER makes you happy! Shoot a doe, a small buck, just send an arrow towards anything you want to take.

    This one scored 103.

    Thanks, I won't hesitate to shoot a good buck or any doe that gives me a chance but having a size reference helps in seeing about what they look like

    Since no one has put up any predictions I guess I will be the first. Maybe I can win by default.
    Group avg. : 89.8
    Killed avg. : 122

    GOOD job Dubbya! We are waiting on the score from his mule deer to add to our 100 inch average goal.
