2014 Deer Contest Results

Ok, Here we go! I put all of the names in a hat and had my buddy draw them. We will use this thread for entries. Please post a picture of your entry with the date and state it was shot in. A short summary of the hunt would be nice as well but not required. We will use a 1″ minimum for tine length. If you hunt multiple states you can upgrade to your biggest buck.

Here is the payout.

1st Place: $105
2nd Place: $60
3rd Place: $30

With the number of entries we have and the payout in $5 increments I had to add a few dollars to make first and second even out and short 3rd by a $1 so everything could be divided between the three teammates.

DT

Whack n stack’m team 4!
Don’t forget I Have some Extreme Hunting Solutions products for the biggest scored buck

We’re not waving the white flag, but teams 4 & 5 looked stacked. Good luck to all!

Will, Team 4 is severely handicapped, they have me. Strong odds I will only get 1 weekend in bow hunting and haven’t got a shooter yet on the trail cams. I placed a NO KILL on all does on my farm. Sorry team 4…..I’ll try.

Now wait just a second, I don’t even like deer hunting!

Joel

Randy Randy Randy! What are we going to do with you! ; )

Here are the rules again.

In years past we have had an IDO “braggin rights” deer contest. With everything that is going on with the site this year there was not going to be one. I have decided to put one together this year.
Entry Fee: $5 Fleet Farm gift card mailed to my residence. Send me a friend request titled “deer contest” and I will message you my address. Like in years past, I will pick teams out of a hat to make teams of 3. Since teams will be randomly selected I will take entries postmarked by September 30th.

Payout: The payout with be 1st place- 50%, 2nd place- 30%, 3rd place- 20%. These prizes will be divided between the team members. IDO is also offering up an additional $50 card for 1st, $25 card for 2nd and a $10 card for 3rd. These will also be split between the team members

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) A maximum of one buck and two does or three does may be entered into this contest by each team member.

4) All entries must be submitted with a photograph of the deer in the “2014 Deer Contest Results” thread along with your team number and state that the deer was taken in.

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

6) 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 after the first one.(Each team member may still only count one buck).

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

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

-Each doe (up to three without a buck) entered by each team member are worth 5 points each.

-Any legal Buck are worth an automatic 10 points plus 1 additional point for each tine 1 inch or larger.

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

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

**Deadline for Deer entries is January 1st 2015**

Here is a doe I shot in SD on Oct 3rd.

@BenBrettingen
is the kicker on your buck a legal point or is it an 8? I can’t tell from the pick.
DT

Technically it is a legal point, 2 inches.

Team #4- 24 points as of 10/26

DT

Well unless somebody does a miracle for team one, we might be out….too bad the IL Late Winter/CWD Antlerless seasons fall after the first of January as that’s the next chance I have at anything.

Sorry, I did not even think about other states running later than Minnesota. Obviously you guys south of us would be hunting later. for some reason that did not even cross my mind when I wrote the rules. I can’t change it now but will remember it for next year. How late do the Illinois seasons go?
DT

I think we are going to have an issue I did not think about. We have three teams tied for second. We have to decide how to handle this. Eventually I will have to have all the team members vote on the decision.

OR

someone need to put a deer down tomorrow!
DT

Maybe I will just shoot a 9 pointer tomorrow…
DT

I don’t think Bill Forsberg submitted his buck he got back before rifle opener team 6… I’ll nag at him to do that tomorrow

Here is the 5×4 I shot in SD and the doe I took in Mn.
