HoosierHunting.com Big Bucks Contest ......Check In

This is a buck only contest......to determine your score we are using inside spread to the nearest 1/8" + the number of points on the rack(@ least an 1")

For example, an 8 pointer with a 15 2/8 inside spread would score........23 2/8 for the contest!!!

Deer must be harvested in Indiana.....you can upgrade your urban buck, special hunt buck, etc. if you want! Just Post a good pic of you and your buck and the rest will be an honor system!

The contest will close on January 31, 2014 at the close of urban season!

I will provide the winners a subscription to one of the following magazines of their choice......deer and deer hunting, north american whitetail, or fur, fish, and game!

Good Luck and Have a Safe Season

Hey the guy that hunts on my ground is on another team!.. I'll give him a crappy spot... lol

Looks like some of those teams are stacked!!! I think we need to look into some illegal recruiting violations. LOL

Hey I got left out

Sorry ta.....I did a random pick and you are on team 5

That'll work thanks and good luck and be safe everyone

If I missed anyone else.....please let me know!

Placed another member on team#13 after doing a random drawing!

You can blame it on my 6 year old son who drew names

Hey the guy that hunts on my ground is on another team!.. I'll give him a crappy spot... lol

Team 9, 12, and 13 are going to stack them up

GO TEAM 12

What about team 3 you little fart???

I'm spreading mothballs in Gundudes spot....

Have you ever smelled moth balls? If so, how do you get their tiny little legs apart. LOL

I'd prolly entice them with your tiny little dic.......nevermind.

it's like golf right?

Low score wins.

I'm not sure how team #9 got put together.....but the rest of you Nancies are in for some blisters....LOL!!!

"Yikes Team" for sure.....

Good call team mate dont put anyone in a good spot.

Hey weed you stay out of there don't be treading in there with moth, worm or your b....s

For some reason this made me laugh!

I don't know but Team 15 looks like some big hitters!! Looking forward to this team!! It's on!

Let the game begin. I have to wait til Oct 1st tho sorry team. Should every one submit pic with measurements?

Honor system........no pic measurement needed!

Good luck to all, have safe hunts. Enjoy the time afield.
Team #2 Pm me on how your hunts are going.

Good luck team 1, git er done

Nobody scored yet?? You mean we are in a 15 way tie yet. Hard to believe.

Everyone is passing for that 300+ incher

Saw lots of deer but only small bucks thus far. Big boys are there just not making mistakes yet, plus I'm not hunting what I feel will be prime spots yet.

That's what i do too. I have spots that I will not hunt until about Oct 27th or so. I just kind of mess around here and there in the early season not really expecting much.

team 8 on da board!

8 pointer + 12.75 inches inside spread = 20.75 points

Congrats on bustin cherry for the great buck competition! But if I read right you could replace it with urban buck if you choose. Say a spike just for example. Haaaaaaa. Nice

Do cats count? It was a 46 yard shot and it cost me shaft.

no need for a cat....your in first place!

try putting the pile of meow mix about 10 yards from the stand, makes for a shorter shot

Heck I just realized we was winning this lol good job Chevy

Haha, I did kill a doe and a forkie in the urban zone though. The 8 point has a bit more antler

The meat freezer is full, now I am focused on filling the fur freezer with coyotes and after Nov 8, coon hides.

Score for team #1 10 point with a 16 2/8ths inside spread

Team 5 10 points 14.5 inside spread.

Nice tattoo, great buck. Hopefully I can add one as well

great pics guys!

Wow. Things seem to be really slow for the bucks hitting the ground. We have I think 62 members signed up on here and only 3 bucks posted. It is already Nov 1. I guess I am not the only one struggling to get a bone on the ground. A guy cant kill what you don't see.

Its just now getting good...

I've been seeing some chasing going on here in NE Indiana. No shooters yet

4 points, 4" inside spread

Congrats What's in the fork of the tree behind him

Looks like a tree stand sitting there

Ten points, three kickers on his left base, and an inside spread of 14 3/4".

A total of 24 3/4 points.

8 pointer-14 2/8 inside spread

Team #12 8 scorable points 16 7/8"

Team #11..10 points..19" spread.

scores are up to date......some big ones are hitting the ground!

Sorry Scarlet Dew, I know you are busting at the gills as would i but I believe it says in the the buck must be harvested in Indiana.

16 inch inside spread. 13 points over an inch

Whoops......just noticed that thanks to your post. I pulled him out. Good luck out there guys and gals!!

I bet Dew will score for his team.

14" + 8 points.....22

from my itchy finger

But birds still call my name!

Thanks DP. Was a rough year of hard hunting for me.

Great deer Cody, looks like he was a scrapper!!! Congrats.

I know what you mean by hard hunting, still working on a buck and maybe another doe.

It paid off! Great character to that rack......like mad dog said he was a scrapper!

Team 15 kevinhunter

2013' urban bow buck Indiana
8 points and 14 2/8" inside spread

I'm posting this pic for WMN, I'll let him tell the story and fill in the details needed.

Great buck bill!

Thanks Joe for posting the picture for me.
WNM55 Muzzleloader harvest last Sunday morning. Couldn't have gotten it out without the help of Joe and Zeb. 10 point 15" Spread

I counted 43 guys out of 61 that do not have a buck yet, or have forgot to post it if they did get one. That seems kind of high to me. I am one of those 43 misfits too. It has been a season on the brink for me. Looks like guys on teams 9 and 14 should get some muligan points for next yr.

Nedwards and js2397...........GET ER DONE! I just looked at the totals today. With Scarlet Dew not on the board yet as well as several others this thing aint done yet.........


Good luck fellas on what looks to be a VERY soggy weekend.

Nice buck Bill

It will have to be bow season if it happens, I think this weekend will be a rain out for sure.

good 1

Will not be checking in an Indiana buck.

Two different farms I had my eyes on two target bucks....the one fell on October 26th, the other one fell on December 11th. One was low 170's and the other high 170's. Both bucks went to neighbors that contribute to the good hunting areas I frequent. Was happy for them....actually very happy. The joke was if I got one of those studs again this year...I was going to be flirting with being put on the "hate list" by my buddies. LOL!!

Went out and checked my cams the past two days and am seeing all the bucks I wanted to push through till next year. I won't tell you how many I'm "pushing through" or how big they are.....ya'll wouldn't believe me anyways. .....well...maybe you would.

Was a good year in Ohio......got the one I was after over there. Again, when leaving Ohio, bigger ones were on my cams that I pulled when I left vs what I was taking home. Gotta love it....

My Ohio Buck...



Glad you all had the season you did!!

Time to put out my "Magic Hay" and deer mix and starting taking inventory of all my farms with my winter trail caming.

Gotta love this year round hobby......

Happy New Year to all.....

good 1

scores are up to date! congrats to kevinhunter and wnm55 on your bucks!
