    It’s that time of year again. I will post the rules once I get to a computer but they will be the same as last year. Entry fee will be a $10 Fleet Farm gift card shipped to me by September 30th. I know this is after seasons open but teams of 3 are drawn random from a hat. This will be for whitetail and mule deer only.

    Here are the rules for this years Contest:
    1) I will only accept pics taken in the field before the deer is field dressed, if that is not possible please use your best discretion and make them tasteful.

    2) I will require pictures of the deer tags from the winning teams.

    3) All entries must be submitted with a photograph of the deer in the “2017-2018 Deer Contest Results” thread along with your team number and state that the deer was taken in.

    4) Any legal weapon may be used during their set season depending upon states hunted.

    5) Any buck harvested by YOURSELF is allowed to be entered into the contest. If you shoot a buck enter it, if you happen to shoot a higher scoring buck for the contest enter that too and the higher scoring buck will be the one counted and added to your team score. Still only one buck counts towards your score, but I’m allowing people to enter multiple bucks if they end up shooting a larger one or hunt multiple states.(Each team member may still only count one buck).

    6) Adult does (no fawns) only can be entered into the contest, except for youth AGE 16 AND UNDER.

    7) Points will be awarded for each harvest as follows:

    -Two does allowed per team- 5 points each.

    -Any legal Bucks are worth an automatic 10 points plus 1 additional point for each tine 1 inch or larger. Please also post the measurement of the longest tine rounded up to the nearest inch. This will be added to the score to eliminate ties.

    8) This contest is for whitetail and mule deer only.

    9) Team members are not allowed to shoot Deer for each other.

    10) Each team will consist of 3 members drawn randomly

    11) Prize break down is 50% for 1st, 30% for 2nd and 20% for 3rd.

    ***Deadline to enter the contest is 09/30/2017.

    **Deadline for Deer entries is February 1st 2018**

    DT, how will you know who the gift card is from if we do this? It doesn’t appear to let you put any notes in.

    @mikekuhn, I got your card.
    Thanks, DT

    (was supposed to be a thumbs up)
    Now I just need that big old boy to make a mistake this fall, he’s already made one showing himself in daylight (my dad saw him about a week ago). He’s been notoriously nocturnal year round the last three years.
