where did the 2 bucks for a 3man team come from? Last year each member of the 3 person team submitted one buck. Im not sure where you got 2bucks could be submitted frommdcrossbow wrote:If you have 3 man teams and only 2 bucks allowed this is a little unfair to the 3rd member we have a system set up that follows with very simple rules to allow each member the opportunity to score for his or her team. Let me know what you think :
This is going to be a team contest,with expected 3 man teams depending on entries. Members can post on this thread to sign up. Deadline to enter will be Aug 30th. The contest will run until January 31st 2010. Deer killed can be by bow or gun, it doesn't matter.Three deer are allowed to be entered per member 2 doe and 1 buck. The does are going to be worth 12.5 points ea. Count the bucks by number of points and also add in the INSIDE spread Ex;17" wide + 8 points = 25 points. Each member adds their individual score to the team score. Picture proof of the deer killed with the member MUST be submitted here on this thread!.
Also, points will be defined as such;
To be counted a point, a projection must be at least one inch long AND,
at some location at least one inch from the tip, the length of the projection must exceed its width.
You can also replace your 1st entered buck with another,for those people who hunt with multiple tags,and out of state,but only Once can you upgrade,and then that entry stands.
To deter members from shooting immature buck's,we have discussed this issue,and agree that for the benefit of the wildlife 1st and foremost,and deterrence from members harvesting these animals,that we will not accept nubbin' buck's,so we will list a buck as it has to have at least 1" of bone showing and only then, will we still count it as a point and the inner spread.
The winning team will receive board bragging rights for the year. All members will sign up here and we will draw names out of the hat and announce the pairings on Sept. 2nd.Good Luck to all!
*** High Fence Deer are NOT allowed
*** Whitetail Deer Only
*** Cutoff Date is 01/31/2010
*** Extra point for each harvest entry taken with a bow.
The winners will also stay together as a team, and until someone else knock's them off!
Wes, we are going to use last years system since it worked and everyone knows how to use it. 3 person teams!!!!!! Its to much debate going on over different things and everyone's getting lost LOL.
Im not big on selecting names from different locations either since that kinda does away with the friendly state vs other state bragging rights. No matter how many bucks one person can harvest, you still have 2 weeks to submitt that deer after the kill. Sure we can hold out and hopefully bag another later in the season, but its a gamble But if we do the draw thing then the state teams are pretty much done. I was using the draw option for those members left out at the end so they could be paired up. Not for the teams already formed:) I wanted to see some of the teams from last season back since everyones gunning for the #1 from last time(bring it LOL).
Wes, you want to help handle this:) seems you have a good grasp on how things went last time
Mike, I'm with you on the buck bening scored as a doe. If someone shoots a buck, then it should be scored as a buck. A simpl fix to this would be you must score your first buck kill in the contest(like the turkey contest). No matter if its a 4pt, its a buck and counts as a buck. That would be the only change I would like to see with the rules Then no one has to worry about who can bag more bucks since it becomes a 1buck contest for all.

We looked at a lot of ways to do the points and such in the past. Mike P is correct(again), there was no way to do a contest to be fair to all.
The 3 person teams are the best. In some cases where the three person team could not possibly harvest 9 deer because of limits or the members simply did not want to harvest a total of 9, then the additional team members were allowed. I didn't see any issues with those teams last year. Sure, they have a slight advantage with 4 folks hunting three bucks, but, they still have to harvest that buck.
The rules from last year were fine. We had a very competitive contest last year. Several teams were in the hunt up until the last week.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Nothing to hunt right now... might as well work this out.
I'm looking for a new team. That way Team DryFire might stand a chance. LOL

lol, to save all the headache, its pretty much last years rulesbojangles wrote:finaly got it figured out! Thanks..that was getting confusing lol
if anything changes, it would be minor edits to certain conditions but it wont effect the teams
so just pair up in your 3 person teams.. we have more than enough here to form 3 person teams for everyone. If someone gets left out, then we can edit things for that

Can I make one suggestion? The "contest standings" post be a sticky at the top. Then Crazyfarmer can just edit the same post each time he updates it. From my experiences on other boards this makes it easier for everyone to keep track and know which team to talk smack too lol. Then of course everyone can make there own post for the rest of us to admire.
I will help if there is anything I can do.
