I'll pass. Not that I am against it....not at all the case. I focus on getting my daughter 14 a deer first and foremost. I try to hold out for a respectable buck if I can. And I am really considering taking does of the "hit list" this year as well since we had such a bad year (only 1 deer taken) last year. As such, I won't bring much value as a teammate and my focus isn't on a big score for myself. I'll share harvest pics and stories if we get them all the same. 5 points per doe adds up quick. Bucks are also 5 points each plus a point for each antler point. No measuring inches here (which is why I wont participate in the bowhunting.com contest). I understand. if I was out to take a bunch of does....it would be different. However I took too many antlerless deer 2 years ago and we had a terrible season last year because of it. I need to lay off the does this year if I can. I also hope to tag a buck of a lifetime this year, but I have absolutely no confidence that it will happen. Like I said, I am focusing on getting my daughter a deer first. I will give up quite a bit on my end for her to tag one. last year was the first time in nearly 15 years I didn't tag a deer (and I typically tag multiple), but my daughter tagged her first and it was well worth it! I'll miss out on the bragging if it comes to that vs not contributing to my team. You guys have fun and I will certainly be watching......

I'll play since the price for entry is right! However, I haven't shot a deer in 2 years so there's that...
I'm going to stick to my antlered deer requirements however, the first slick head past my stand is in trouble.

I'm in again. Will be the luckey 5 freezer fillers. Need some more team mates. This team is an if you hunt deer you can join. We do not care if you kill one or not. We root for you to have a good season. (That is a season that satisfies you and no one else)

I would be glad to have you and your daughter on my team if you like. I/my team mates are in it for the fun of hunting. No pressure!!! If you kill a deer ok if not ok. No biggy Would it be nice to come in first? For me ,NO that would mean each time I went out I would feel I had to fill a tag if the shot presented it. I do not hunt that way. I go,i sit and if a shot presents its self and i feel like it i shoot, if not oh well i spent a day in the woods. Can not beat that. Onebentarrow Ps. If you do not join my team I DO understand and will not be offended

Sign both you and your daughter and be a team. Let her pick the team name. It's just for fun etc.

I don't think anybody changes the way they hunt because of the contest.. at least I hope they don't. It's all just for fun.
I don't sign up for the squirrel contest anymore though, last time I did I only killed 3 squirrels all season..

True.....I doubt this contest ever made someone go out and slay a bunch of deer that they otherwise would not. All in fun and not taken seriously... That is one reason that we don't offer prizes for the winners. Just recognition....

Ok, OK.....Count me and my sidekick in. Her name is Emma she is 14. PLEASE put us on a team that is not going to take this seriously. We took only 1 slick head all last season (Emma's first deer), so I can't make any promises as to what we can/will contribute. Here we are during a hunt last year......good thing her Mama is cute....otherwise the poor girl didn't stand a chance!!!

Some folks are more competitive than others....and I being new here I wasn't sure. I didn't want to be "dead weight" on a competitive team....
