2022 Contest Final Results

It doesn’t make sense. It’s gotta be something cosmic. We all know you’re good for 18 points every season. Go ahead and rig it next year. Then if you get beat by a randomly selected team you’ll know it’s just not meant to be. I liked having you on my team. Takes the pressure off everyone so they can enjoy the season.
Aww that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me :tongueclosed:

I'm a little perplexed as well but it's all in good fun so it just doesn't matter. The family bragging rights are where it is more important between me and @hambone. I got him in deer this year but he got a bigger one so it's a close call!
 
Pretty sure if you hunted some place further north you would kill more deer.
Maybe we need to add a Handicap score for certain things. Like minus a pt. For private land kill, and plus one for public Florida.
I don’t think it’s that serious. Also, the contest is already handicapped if you consider it. It doesn’t matter if you kill a 4 year old 120” 8 pt or a basket rack 2 year old 8 pt inside the ears, you still get the same amount of points. It doesn’t matter if you kill a fawn or small southern deer or a 180 lb doe they still are worth the same 5 points. That is the equalizer.

Plus i think weldy killed a deer to enter this year which is more than a lot of people were able to do. Seems fair to me.

Leave the contest alone, it is already a blast!!

I agree with this 100%. The way the contest is organized is great. The rules are simple and strait forward. We all have a chance to put up some points and we are all challenged to work hard and become better hunters. And it’s a lot of fun!

There’s enough handicap built in …. Not everyone that joins kills deer
