How about must have a picture of the entry (deer with hunter) for it to count ?

How about going by weight instead since ya can't eat them antlers?
By the way I'm not deer hunting so I don't care either way.

I dont know about others but I dont have a place/way to weigh a buck but I do have a tape measure.

Then again it probably wont effect me I dont kill a buck every year.
But I am due :D maybe the ones I have passed the last couple seasons will pay off this year.

I concur.

I will donate one of my antler pens or custom made grunt call, winners choice.Prize available at end of season and Bob tells me the winner, since i'm thinking he will be the judge.

I forgot in my last post that you don't have to take a deer to have it checked in anymore. Since I am not a deer hunter and am not partial I'll volunteer to judge it if yall want me to. Does a seasonal photo contest sound good to anyone?

Sounds good to me Bird if you want to judge the contest.Maybe Bob can set up the forum page just for the contest. People then can post their pics. and scores or weight.

We really don't need a judge... just honest people to enter their scores. High score wins...

Do road kills count? Then we'd have to show the truck bumper, right? :rolleyes:

I remember there is a liquor store in Christopher that has a big buck contest every season, but I can't recall the name, maybe Sportland Liquors. It is right on SR14.
