    Of the Mississippi that is. How about a 2010/2011 bowhunting.com challenge? We'll take an equal number of hunters from each side of the big river and compute a total score for each half of the United States. Whether you live in mule deer, blacktail or whitetail country the SCI scoring system will be used.. since I feel (unlike P&Y) that anything an animal grows should be counted... What thinks ye?

    I agree that P&Y blows......but West stands no chance.

    I'd say take the average from each side of the river to determine the winner. That way it'll put more pressure on everyone to score.

    I'm willing to give it a try as a West sider. I think my teammate Iowa Veteran is due for a whopperhead.

    I'll ante....what's at stake? Can we enter multiple deer, or is it one per contestant? I'd say, "let's rack em up!"

    I'm not sure about the ante, I guess we could take the top however many deer and do the total score. Also if you cross the river and kill a deer on the other side, it goes on the other teams scoreboard.

    Is it true you westerners shave your legs before hunting season?

    Yes, since we actually walk and stalk in difficult terrain... it helps minimize chaffing.:D

    Hmmm...shaven legs? Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong. I'm tired of looking like an eleven year old boy. Thanks for the tip Dubbs! And yeah buddy! Have you ever seen those eastern lads try to spot and stalk? They usually leave their stomach contents and both lungs on the side of a mountain. They see a little bear and come home with wet pants....just saying. LOL...

    I hunt on both sides of the Big Muddy. :p

    Can I be on both teams? I'd be a winner for sure.

    Should we include all the deer species? Throwing in an elk, a caribou and a moose might even things up against the IL/WI giants behind every tree.
