Not sure how many of us read everything in here but thought this was worth showing y'all Ok so I got a little board at work again and looked back at the top 3 winners from 2014, 2015, 2016 and came up with these numbers.<br /><font color="#0000ff"><b><u>BUCK EDITION Winners: Average buck score 126” Average hi 132” Average low 118” Single hi 157” Single low 65” Top 3:Average buck score 119” Average hi 132” Average low 109” Single hi 157” Single low 65” Win 9 does and 6 bucks to average 126” Top 3 8 does and 5 bucks to average 119”
Basically we all need to get a doe on the books and if 7 of us (5 more) get a buck and they average around 119 we have a good chance at taking this thing
That sounds doable but man they're dropping some giant deer early. I can't believe the quality deer that have been taken. I'm ready to contribute already!! Sent from my Z831 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I just adjusted what I wrote...I misspoke. But I agreed we can do this. We have a couple great bucks already scoring for us. I know we have some heavy hitters that will step up come rut.
Sorry I haven't been on here much lately. I've been working a lot and haven't much time to hunt. I'll be back out on Sunday and see what happens then. Starting the 24th, I have 16 straight days off, so I should be able to get something going here soon.
I should be good for a 130” + buck, I have the last two weeks ofOctober and the first two weeks of November off. If I don’t make it happen then it won’t be from lack of trying lol. Hunting is hunting tho, nothings in stone
I really wish this contest would let you upgrade. Anyways...I am off Oct 28th- Nov 26th. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
Wish I wasn’t going to be a teacher so I could hunt more when I get a job Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Nice work fix. Now if I can just get anything to step out of the woods! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Anyone use any attractants? I tried scent sticks last year but didnt see much success with them Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I’ll use a little bit of doe in estrous during the rut just as a cover scent or in a drag. I’ve learned dear get a little wary with scent sticks and over using scents. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I got this guy on one of my cameras. Do you guys think he’s the same buck as this one? The frontal picture is from last year. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums

Just had a skinny 6 pointer come through and feed at 40 yards. Walked right across on of the shooting lanes to a scrape I didn't see. He then walked another 20 yards to freshen up another one. First time I have seen that not on a TV show. Glad I came out tonight. Thinking I may move my camera to that scrape and keep an eye on what else is coming by to freshen it up.
Awesome looking deer! I'm getting pumped for the rut! We've got low 50s next week and I'm hoping the weather will continue to cool so I can get some daytime activity. All the beans are yellowed and the acorns are raining down. Time for them to shift food sources Sent from my Z831 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
So I had a mamma and her fawns walk by me at about 10 yards. Glad to know that my scent control is working! Decided to let her live since she had some babies with her. She better be careful come the end of the season though! Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
