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 “2016/2017 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.
8) This contest is for whitetail and mule deer only.
9) Team members are not allowed to shoot Deer for each other.
***Deadline to enter the contest is 09/16/2016. There may be non MN states starting earlier but the teams are drawn randomly so it will be ok.
**Deadline for Deer entries is February 1st 2017**
It will be a great season, DT
