and aren't you inventor/moderator/judge of the Dink-a-thon? shouldn't you be the one to fire the starter pistol and declare it open?

I always have one in mind!
OK...OK....


Heres the official opening!


This is the only buck Ive shot so far this year and I don't think he's gonna win....

Just cause you won that first year.....
Here's my red deer dink from this past March
[Linked Image]
[Linked Image]

What do I win?
can we reiterate the ground rules for those new to the game?

I understand them to be:

1. must be a buck
2. must have bare antler (buttons under skin don't count)
3. Judges may be swayed by bribery
3A. this may work against you if said bribe is inadequate
4. Must include some short description of harvest
5. ALL submissions will be considered in the DAT
5A. Mature Bucks with obesely large antlers submitted MAY result in a temporary ban from the DAT not to exceed 1 (calendar) year OR deer *season

* We realize some deer seasons may run into the new year or may be completely different i.e. living in the southern hemisphere. in such cases submissions must be held no more than 6 months to coincide with the majorities "season" of hunting.


Cool points MAY be awarded for the following: good story, rare rifle/cartridge, "pool pics" with said deer and Uniqueness (caliber/rifle/antler growth).

am I missing any?
Dam 3pt. per side rule here, kinda screws me!

Tom, aint that ona dem Red Deer BULLS ?
Correction: its a " Red Stag Bull"


Redundancy springs eternal.


It is however the smallest entry in the "Red Stag Bull" category. We will have to wait for other entries to determine if its gonna be a winner.

BTW Doghunter: You Suck
I have yet to lose a smallest dink contest...
Prepare yourself....I don't think you know what you are up against....

Got two deer tags, hopefully neither of them make it into the contest
Our season started 5 days ago.
I'm going to put a muzzy in a velvet button. He don't know it yet.
how do you get style points?

As I recall, this works:

[Linked Image]
Style points = An albino or piebald dink.

Or a little girl with a 45 cal small scale custom made Hawken reproduction rifle kills a dink.

Or a fat red headed kid kills a dink with a ball peen hammer.

Style.
Style...
22LR in the ear.
Style...
Killing in boxers and shower shoes.
Style...
Vegan hippies in the background of the posted photo holding up #ungulatelivesmatter signs.
how about really, really, fancy wood on the rifle?

After being severely chastised by the Poobah for trying to slide in one of our mutant Canuck dinks last year I am determined to be victorious in this majorly prestigious event!
Cat
Always an epic campfire event. Looking forward to not making the cut.
I'm planning on running a mx3 through a velvet button buck in cargo shorts and a wife beater, barefoot.
With any luck the hippies will be out in protest and I can get them in the background.

(besides the obvious tactic, bribery of the judges) smirk
Is useage of a Hi-Point 9mm carbine considered worthy of extra points, once again considering the bribage involved?

I'm concerned about just seeing these mythical things called deer let alone hanging a tag on one, so I was wondering if I could super glue some antlers to my beagle, and take a picture of her and submit it. She's reall good at playing dead...........

As for the bribe, and because I'm such a stand up guy, I've rec'd an offer from Omaar in the middle east that he needs to relocate several million dollars, and all I have to do is give him my checking account number. I would be willing to forward this incredible offer to the Poobah in exchange for "special considerations" for my beagle-er-dink.
Can we submit bow kills?
Just so the newbies are aware of what they are up against !

This dink lost out 2 years ago, despite uber cool lever action, open sighted rifle & 4 bottles of Eagle Rare !
For style I'm wearing a Confederate flag hat this year. Using a 270 with Gamekings got me DQed last year mad
As it should have.
New, the Eagle Rare was supposed to go to the judge..... grin

I have the same problem with the Blanton's. I don't want to send a bad jug, then after going through QC testing, I realize it is bad taste (snicker) to send an opened jug.

Hopefully, the process will repeat itself a couple of times this year... cool
With so much participation there are more variables than ever before.....i.e. Marcs idea of wearing a confederate flag cap.

However one unvarying constant will always be that .270s are gay.

And another is that Blantons is Good.

Hint.

This is excellent stuff right here, but given the place of origin some red plaid and maybe a Molson toque would have helped....

Gotta a plan. 7x57 or 64 30-30, Confederate Flag hat, and country ham with our SCV made apple butter. It could work wink
It most assuredly WOULD work, providing that you kill anything under B&C minimums. grin


For the rest of you: hint.
We will work the plan wink

Glad I dont shoot a .270 anymore! Think a screen name change might be in order!
laugh
Something like 7X57slowtwist223 would be an improvement.
A set of dies shipped UPS Next Day Air to the Poobah for the Ultra Uber Redding-270-08 should turn the tables in my favor, I reckon.

In the case of a tie between button bucks I think the one with the smaller scrotal circumference should get preference.
The one that offers the best bribe will be the winner.

Just ordered some 50 gr. TTSX.... and just got a new deuce.

Remember, style points for bullet size in inverse proportion to the deer. I like using 300 grain and above.


'course, you being the judge and all....
And I might even try my Underwood .30 Carbine. That'll draw the envy of the .223 stunt-shooters.
I may do a .256 win mag dink whack this year. left handed upside down....
And you shall force me to install this:

5.7 Johnson, 22 cal based on .30 carbine.

Never forget...the judge also owns and shoot a .17 HMR....and they make 20 grain FMJ for it.... whistle


And I will take a dare......

I passed on a 9 point...where's all the button bucks?
Better give this a bump...
Anxiously awaiting.

I hope to get one so small.......that 400 grains could be bullet weight or live weight...


Next.
Who won last year?

My buck was so small, only one nut had dropped and I still lost.

Competition be fierce up in here.

Just a pic with the winning entry would work.

Don't be ashamed of your...uhhh...'orientation'.... grin
archery starts tomorrow, and I am.... working.... frown
I placed up first entry and held title for a few days.
I might opt the same route tonight.
I wanted to feed the .243 today but it was a no go. Only saw 2 does and a fawn. Not even a nub on the little one, I looked it over pretty hard. Rats.
hhhmmmmm....

...

rook...

...rifle...

I knew I'd find a use for it grin
Saw another potential winner in the back yard last night a repeat in rifle blacktail looks pretty hopefull LOL.
This is the first 'buck' I shot with my new Ruger #1...can I enter it...



Or would that be a " Conflict of Interest"? whistle




[Linked Image]
Well hell that one don't count. Look at his eyes, he couldn't even see you coming lol
Dats how I was able to sneak up on him.....
Speaking of dinks...I caught a fawn in a Coyote snare last year. Stupid Deer, the snare was hanging from a barb wire fence crossing no more than a foot off the ground.

I felt terrible.....................right up until I tasted the back straps.

Well, it IS a whitetail... but the hooves look funny and the ears must be hiding the dink gear.
TTT...waiting for an entry!
Ingwe, you guys might as well just give up and crown me now. Once again, my consistent run of not drawning a ^&$&#^ doe tag has pulled through again, so I have no choice but to shoot a legal buck. Somewhere out there, there's a year and a half old spiker with my name written all over it. I understand that nubs are good fodder for the dinkathon, and being's I won't be legally able to take one, how much does this increase the bribe necessary to post a winning score with a little, but Minnesota legal spiker? My willingness to bribe for a win knows no boundaries.........

C) Good shooting and
D)Putting a nice freezer pleaser in the garage! laugh




COOL BEANS!


CONGRATS TO THE LUCKY HUNTRESS! cool
Clearly some style points are in order smile

Congrats to the new hunter!
I think that one takes the lead and will be tough to beat! antlers being that big is the only thing going against it. but uber cool points all around, I think a bribe to the poohbah and it's cinched
Kids aren't old enough to buy whiskey for bribes.

Their hunting and shooting has to stand on its own merit.


Unlike you corrupted adults! grin
My 10yo boy has his eye on the prize. We some 60#'s on the trail cam he's chomping at the bit to make into freezer packages.

He's a stunt shooter too... RAR .223 Compact.
Nothing but neck...going to pull the chip tonight in hopes of additional cool trail cam pic points possibility.

Is it possible to bribe you into accepting an "underage" bribe?
Additional points requested for pissing off the french vegan hiipie neighbors who called the cops.
I had a spike licking the sliding door last night that makes the 2014 blacktail winner look like a monster. Just have to talk Uncal Allan into another year of shame should not be hard.

Careful where you're going with that!
You would think of that in an out-of-sorts way, wouldn't you?

I'm sure poobs wouldn't send a bottle of Blanton's back that had been addressed in crayon.

Especially if preceded by another bottle with a letter of explanation.

But then, that would be up to him.

You all got the cops called on you? By Hippie Vegans?

Kewl!
Hell yes, I was on the front page this year.
They tried to pass an ordinance to stop me from hunting on my land.
Bringing the thread to the top.
No contenders?
I might have to unseat her myself.
Ring.....didn't see this until now.

Accept Yankee congrats for your daughter. Great job (both of you).

I'll wait for the season and see if the boy can put a button on the deck.

Again, congratulations.

Tom should have to give quadruple bribes just because his son has no choice but to hunt with him. The poor kid's gonna develop a complex.
Now that sounds like a potential winner, though the standard has been set high.

A stunt-shooting, dink-sluicing kid with a complex and RAR.

How's an immature adult to win??

6 points (eastern) is getting on the *rather large* side, and you could'a picked up style points for a 700 action without a bolt handle...... grin


Otherwise I'd tell you "Nice deer". Congrats to an early success, I have about 3 more weekends before I can try to shoot a 10 lb deer with an 8 lb rifle.
I know, I know . . . I questioned posting him in the Dink-a-Thon. The rack looks smaller just sitting on the work bench! My 700's all seem to have pretty good glue on the bolt handles. :-)

Good luck when your season opens. Aim small at something small . . . miss small?

My daughter will be sporting a 222 rem once rifle starts.

I'm culling anything with teats or antlers to get her a lock on this gig....
She has buku add on points.
First deer
Opening day
Neck shot
Cool caliber
Cool rifle
GIRL!
got the cops called on her by these ahole Hippies.

Plus sympathy points for being my daughter.

It's pretty much a lock.
No luck yet, passed on a 10" spike Muley last weekend, let my buddy take it with the bow - small in the body but jeez, the size of those spikes!:>(

I shot a whopper yesterday, I will have to get a picture but I think it will be a contender.
I see I have my work cut out for me.

10" spike Muley


About 9 63/64ths out of range for contention.

Think along these lines.

You must invest in very good optics to discern a "DAT" candidate, even at the extended ranges of 40 to 50 yards.

I'll share one secret. You see two does traveling together, one small, one big. Shoot the small one, it's a 50/50 chance...

Thanks ingwe. It's a fun little rifle to carry.

My 13 year old niece on her first ever bowhunt. Shooting a 35# bow. he went 50yds and piled up. Shamelessly cross posted because she did such an awesome job.
That one will be a contender, uber cool points too for using a bow and her first bowhunt.

we need a scoring system with points or something, we've gotten some good submissions this year so far!
Going to have to enter my SIL who is pregnant.

Bonus points for video

nice shot!

We've got some good submissions this year!
Sitting in the stand last night, in a downpour, a nice buck was crossing in front at about 70 yards.
Tail down by on a mission.
I have a pretty good idea he's ones of the twins. The smaller of the two.
My daughter says " im going to kill him, next year. "

Yep the bruiser was waiting at a gate where the does had bend down to squirm under a gate. The Prince of the forest would stick his nose in the does crotch buck and run circles around the gate. He was running past me as I pulled the bow back. He saw the movement and slid to a stop like a reining horse. 20 yards WHUP!

Gotta put this up for my 12-year-old nephew, Nate. First Mule deer, minimum hunting age. Fair chase. Unpopular caliber that kills like a .270 and less than 200 inches. His dad is friends w proprietor of Rambo Boozemart in EP, Colo. grin [ img:left][Linked Image][/img]
We might have to consider this one, just because its the smallest deer that kid ever shot. grin

Only one side with the spike...

Downhill shot, dropped him quick. Then he crawled a little while.
Uh-oh....early contender!
I humbly submit...

[Linked Image]

The shrunken/misformed horn on the left side is not attached to the skull, it was somehow growing in the skin.

And yes, one shot with the 1907 Winchester at about 60 yards. 180 gr Hawk busted a rib going in and exited - exit visible in the upper part of the photo. The buck jumped at the shot, and ran about 50 yards before piling up.

Okay, DEFINITE style points for the 1907 Winchester and that wonky unattached left antler is exactly the kind of thing that could cinch the Dink-a-thon for you...


But that massive right antler is going to ruin your chances.....

I think he should be disqualified.....that's only a half of a dink. However I think he does get extra points for the gun.

You are exactly right. You have a knack for this....we might have to make you an Associate Judge in Training.....
I'm all in.
I ain't going for this "associate" crap unless he is ineligible for bribes.

Nowadays even retail stores and fast food joint are calling their employees " Associates".


It means they don't share in the profits. wink
Definitely extra credit for the rifle. Very nice.

Exactamundo.

The Judge ( kinda like the Politician) is the only one who gets to cheat.
You guys are sullying a time honored contest.
Enough talk of bribery... Let's see some immature deer killed with elephant guns by prepubescent girls.
How about freaky deer, killed by hung over old farts, with ancient rifles?

Your shot at ever becoming a Judge Associate in Training just went out the window.....
A couple of 30-packs? Are you a glutton for punishment?

Maybe you could use the training.

Poobs will show you how much of what to drink.





















Just don't dress like him....
Attempted bribery with any form of light "beer" should be grounds for lifetime disqualification.
What the hell is becky crick? Must be some good chit.
Rebecca Creek- a whiskey distilled and sold only in Texas. They can't all it bourbon cause its not from Kentucky...but thats what it is.

And an extremely good one at a good ( comparable to Buffalo Trace) price.

It is a Judge favorite.


Hint.



Along with Blantons.


Re-hint.
I carried a bottle of Becky to the TN Hog Hunt one year. I opened the bottle in the disciplinary barracks, and it was empty in 15 minutes frown

I took 3 bottle next year, and they vanished. Last time I carried 4 bottles and a handle. That seemed to be a bit much, but at least we didn't run out smirk
Must be some pretty good chit. Me thinks I might be missing out here. Been known to take a little Old Grand Dad for medicinal purpose.

Whats that clear liquid in the half gallon jars?

I don't remember that.... whistle
And then back on the ranch. Here's my entry. Maybe I have to bribe myself to vote for this one.

I got this last night with my cross bow. LAST WEEK, I think I was watching this deer and he was a beautiful typical 8pt. At first from 125 yrds., I thought this deer had a deformed side. When he got closer, I almost got sick when I figured out what it was. At about 30 yrds.,he got down wind, stopped, and presented a shot. He was quartering towards me, so I had to take it. I shot a little to the left and got him right in front of the shoulder. I've got a Wicked Ridge Invader by Ten Point and used a Rage 2 broadhead. These things are viscous. When he turned to run, his neck was pumping blood like a garden hose.

These boys that hang around this farm are fighters. Every year, I kill bucks that are a little busted up, but this is ridiculous.

Good Morning, gentlement!!

And you too, Poobs!

Yesterday kicked off the VA general gun season, and I went looking for a viable Dink-A-Thon entry, seeing as how the competition has started out with several fine entries.

Saw a nice 10-pointer ½ mile from where we park, in the field beside the road. As a matter of fact, it boldly walked across the dirt road in front of the truck. But, it was pre-dawn and I haven't finely tuned my "Roadkill" drill. I continued on down to the Farmer's house (where we park) and we talked about it. One hunting partner that was right behind me had seen the deer also, and we continued on down to the rendezvous point.

I hunted all day, seemingly absolutely surrounded by Does. No Dinks, and no Bucks. Believe me, I was looking for indication of a Dink-A-Thon-eligible buck.

Saw another nice Buck. On the way home. After dark. Beside the highway, eating.

That left me wondering just where are the dinks?

Stone Cutter- Brian, I know you are desperate to win the Dink-a-thon and conjuring up a story of "busted up" bucks is a novel approach. But Im not buying it.
You can't simply break points off when you get home in hopes of winning the coveted title!
The Judge ( me) sees right through that....


Until he's had enough Becky Creek or Blantons to blur his vision.

Hint....



maddog- a noble effort on your part Mike, but the one right side antler that is showing is simply too massive to qualify.

You must try again.




Vic: Hope springs eternal! Stay with it or forfeit the title!



Ringworm: Hate to say it, but you've got a real contender there. A REAL one!



Shrap- We have had winners in the past that would shame Ringworms entry....and they were bigger than fetus, or even spotted stage. ( Except Vics all white dink, we couldn't tell if it had spots or not...)

Paul, I'm not sure, but I think this contest, like any other pursuit, is won by the big-budget teams.

It was the angle needed to drive it into his throat.
He was below me.
It's not where in goes in that counts
When shooting 80 pound deer, ones takes into consideration how much meat can be wasted by less practical shots.
Deadlier than the "Texas heart shot"... The " Carolina tonsil shot".

The un-named clear liquid probably did put a dent in Becky demand. Which simply meant I got to take more home. Which is also okay smile

Too bad me and the wife both punched our tags in general season or i probably would have this locked up in my aunts yard today.

Crappy picture but at 10' one could bately make out a hard horn button. Pretty sure it's B&C score is sub 1".

Way too big....
Wait a minute....that doesn't count, it's still alive.

He looks like he wants to drag race you or something.
He was eating the bushes for an hour then decided to have a stare down leaving the driveway.

Mighta weighed 45-50 #'s on the hoof.

Last i knew one needed visible hard antler to enter and i cant imagine them coming much smaller.

Too many years of shooting quality deer so my dink eye is lacking though.

Your palate must be cleansed.

It is an acquired taste, and it make take some time (and Blanton's) to hone your eye. You have the weight class right, though.

That thing is a Peterbilt in a world of Smartcars in the antler department.

Yea, I know. I pass'em up a lot. No worries though, there's some more biggies hangin around. Plus I can get 3 more. I never shoot anything with less than 6 points unless I'm in a frustrated mood. This might have been one of those situations. This one walked into it. It was a perfect set-up and wanted to take the shot. I'm trying to accumulate some meat to get some Berger and Hot Italian Sausage made.

I still think he wants to drag race. Look at his ears, he's got his game face on.
While its always fun to shoot big deer, these little ones are like veal. I am happy already with this season as I have a spike in the freezer my buddy shot for me.

If i see another little one this weekend, it is going down, milk still on its chin or not!
Bewty Mate.

That's the spirit !

OK, I know this is far from a contender, but it ain't a big buck, either. Well, maybe to the DAT crowd.

Shot at 0800 this morning, 25 yard shot with a Remington 700 ADL in the mighty .243, 95 grain BT. It did a 60 yard death run and the work began.

This may take a little Blanton's to fix. Or maybe we can get that associate judge fellow to stage a coup. Light beer is cheaper and I have a hard time shipping Blanton's off.

I may be smoking one for that comment, though.

And, I'll thank everybody ahead of time for the kind comments on the camera skill. Can't everybody consistently take pictures that bad, but I have it down pat!

At least I put his tongue back in.....

Vic and elks: Nice entries but you both know they are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too big!

elks: yours has that "shot with a .270" look.......which adds an arbitrary 270 centimeters to the overall score...putting it wayyyy out of contention.













Sheesh, I can't believe these type entries just show up. No Blantons. No Becky. Just the entry....
You must be getting real old Ingwe. Posted that pic in the VBTE and wrote that the buck was killed with a Winchester Featherweight 7x57 and a old 4x Weaver. Even wrote that I used a 160 gr Sierra GK at the whopping range of 110 yds.

I have to confess, I started to shennd the Blanton's, buuuu I shot I butter check it firshhh. (hiccup).

Didn't you read the rules?
Item 4, section C, subparagraph 11... Contestants musty be an active campfire member or direct descendant of a member prior to October 10, 2015....
He qualifies... It's ok to be nervous. 5 shots and a wounded tool box may just take the cake. Too it off with an 11yo boy and his first buck....I understand your nerves.

You would have it in the bag if it weren't for that massive rack,If I were you I would grab me a file,and shorten them horns to about the hairs length.I would also recommend standing in front of the deer,and hold the head away from your body,kinda like a reverse long arm.,Then resubmit it.A small bribe may be necessary for the honarable judge to turn a blind eye to the double submition.

Sometimes, you have to highlight the obvious, though.
Whoops, he already noticed.

You can never be sure !
Well I was off work all last week hunting and I'm sorry, I passed up about 15 buttons, spikes, and 4 pointers. I just can't bring myself to shooting them. It's just too much work for such little meat. But if they keep hanging around, I might just have to enter this contest for real.

I know this would take a freakin tractor trailer load of Becky, but this is all I have other than the couple I've already posted.

[Linked Image]
Brian. You already know this but that buck is Wayyyyyyyy too big!


as is the Bubba Buddy....


It would take enough Becky Creek to float a battleship.........
I know, I'm depressed that I can't shoot a dink that's a contender. But I'll tell you what....those little bastrds keep hanging around, I might have to bust a cap in their azz. The other day, I had a couple walk under me right at dark. At first, I thought it was a doe and a Bambie. I had the .480 out and cocked and noticed that they were buttons, so I let them walk. They keep it up and they'll be talking to the business end of either that .480 or my Encore.
OK....serious question now. Do you just like Contenders or are you complying with some stupid law there?
Well if they have horns, I'm TRYING to comply and the buttons are pretty small. I might have to keep a hammer in the truck and after I take the picture, I'll bust'em off, check it as antlerless and donate it so I don't have to cut it up. The problem is that they want animals over 60#.

Maybe I'll shoot one for you.

They blend in well with the deciduous leaf litter. Had to shoot with my non dominant hand-eye, but at 75 yards, I was able to put it right through the heart and break both shoulders. 150gr Ballistic Silvertips from a 30-06 at that range is overkill maybe....but dead is dead!

Apparently you don't know the rules of the game here, as we heard no mention made of potential bribes to the Grand Poobah. Pony up with some suitable "influence" and you just might take home the trophy.

Poobs, I'm worried. Looks photochopped !

you can not see "junk" &/or "bone" in all photos. My best guess is;

Picture #1 is of a doe with the cannon, then a picture #2 is of "button" on some road kill, then a picture #3 is of the 142" bucks junk.

We (read you) need 100 proof !

27 here this morning.

Just made a thermos of apple cider.

Not only is it hot, it works good as an attractant late season.

Time to put on the long johns...
Snow is ass hole deep to a tall giraffe here this morning. Glad I'm not hunting....
Yup I'm done no sense trying to out do my deer it's damn near impossible to top that dink!

Bet this will warm the Poobah's heart

[Linked Image]
When you go to sleep tonight, know that the Poobah loves you.....
OK. at least I feel I have made a damn good effort at reclaiming my title.

Today I bagged a dink so small the antlers had to be looked for. Excuse the crappy cell-phone pic, I have a good camera but it was in my fishing gear.

This is about as small as I could get. DVDegeorge, look out!

I blooded the new, reborn Pumpkin (as my daughter calls it). Formerly a .243, the Pumpkin was reborn as a .308 last week, and grew a detach mag conversion as well.

"Excuse the crappy cell phone pics"? If those are the best pics that your phone will do, you badly need an upgrade. What is that anyway, a flip phone? This is an outrage, of sorts.

grin

Alright.......this about the best I can do. This damn thing came out right as it was getting light yesterday in dense fog and I thought it was a doe. Actually, I didn't care what the hell it was, I needed some meat.

Poobs, how about a 1/2 gallon of grain and a 30 pack of Busch Light. sick cry

WHHOOOAAAAA, I DID NOT SAY THAT...my 3rd cousin hacked my account....
I see you boys have been busy....kudos.


Brian: 1/2 gallon of grain and a 30 of Busch Lite....you must be kidding. I may be half Irish but we have evolved since coming over on the boat. Swill just won't cut it.

That said, you'll be at the Pig hunt and in a FtF position to bribe the judge....Vic won't wink



Vic: A noble effort on your part, you and Dan are neck and neck at this point. He too will be at the Pig Hunt and is an excellent cook on top of being in position to bribe.

Light'em up, man.

We still have until Saturday with the smoke poles. Then next Friday and Saturday we get to use real guns. After that, we're back to bow for the rest of January. All of the bucks generally loose their horns around the first week in January where I hunt, so after that you've got to be careful not to shoot a buck.
I know this is way too big, but here it is anyway.

Alright, how about this sweet deal for the judge........3 bottles of MD 20/20, a case of Schlitz Malt Liquor, and for the icing on the cake, I'll throw in a half of a bottle of cheap champagne left over from New Years Eve. laugh

Should I win, I propose we drink deeply and co-author a new hunting title: "Dinking Around The Globe; The Art of Going Small"

That is an EXCELLENT idea! laugh


And we can even be elitist and not admit any entries from folks who didn't go to the pig hunt!


Plus, the time frame for the pig dink-a-thon will be shorter than this.....


I love it.....



But be aware I have experience shooting mini-pigs...

I know what you mean.

Over the time of this esteemed competition, I have spent much in "insurance". But, in the interest of not insulting the Poobah, I would sample the bribe...err...insurance prior to sending it off.

One sample led to another. Then, I suspected he might be offended by a half-empty bribe.

And I'm sure he would be by an empty one. Ssssooooo.....

This is a conspiracy against those of us that don't own anything in a .22. I'm filing a formal protest. I think it's discrimination in order to stack the deck for a select few. mad

If you throw out the open sights rule, I'll bring this. Plus the red dot is almost open. The only problem is that I can't hit the broad side of a barn. So if I do kill a pig with it, that would be considered as a trick shot too. shocked

Let's just hope there's more pigs than last year.

I've followed this thread with great interest. I hate to mention it at such a late date but the judging criteria appears to be flawed. Seriously, shooting a buck when you thought it was a doe could win this prestigious completion? Fame and glory for a mistake like that?

I say nay. The judging criteria should include the following factors. (1) How late in the season was it? (2) Did the member get a deer last year? (3) How cold was it? (4) What was the caliber of the rifle? (5) When you walked up to it did you say wow or crap?

With these reevaluated criteria I give you this, my KY deer this year.

1) Opening morning- 15 minutes after legal shooting. I was back in camp making coffee (WITH a speckled enamel blue coffee pot)in an hour and a half.
2) No (OK, I got a moose and if I was Swedish I'd call it a deer but no I am not Swedish but I do enjoy pancakes but no that doesn't count as Swedish)
3) 25 degrees. It was 55 by lunch but that just meant I could enjoy camp in the afternoon
4) .257 Roberts. OK, it had a 110 accubond but still lots of points for classic cartridge.
5) Crap - thought 8 no brow tines. Seriously. I have racks from 25+ deer on our place and have seen a bunch more and never without brow tines.

OK, Poobah you have a limit time to accept my new scoring criteria and award me my fame and glory. The humidity is wicked low here and your bribe is evaporating at a rapid rate. Why wait for the honors?

[Linked Image]
Pugs...I know you and count you as a friend.

But this shocks me....


I am shocked that you would attempt to override my existing and fluid rules.

I am truly shocked that you would try to foist this monster buck of yours over on all the good members here who have participated in good faith and entered proper dinks...... Lack of brow tines does not a dink make....


But most of all I'm shocked that you attempted a bribe with a bottle that is obviously less than full.


You know me better than that.






BTW: You want in on the dink pig-a-thon???? grin




Love and Kisses, Poobs

You're right to shame me and show me the error of my ways. I'm so embarrassed about the end-run that I'll go home and drown my sorrows in my bottle of Blantons. Alas, that creates another problem for you as there will be none left.

I'd love to be in on the dink pig-a-thon but not making that hunt this year so I'll have to pass unless Mooshella escapes the DC preserve but she's no dink. I'll need a bigger rifle.

I suppose if the Blanton's runs out I'll switch the 4 Roses single batch but evaporation has hit that badly too. Odd, very odd. grin
Damn! I thought you were making the pig hunt!


Its a dry climate down in south Texas and I think there will be a whole lot of 'evaporation' going on...... grin

Pugs, way too big man. I still say Vic has it wrapped up technically, except Dan has the upper hand. Not only will he be able to bribe Poobs in person, he'll be able to cook for him too.

I think you're outta luck on this one.
Brian, how about you?

Any rules in pig a thon

And what kind of bribing material is on hand.....
Sounds like my kinda game. The rule book is kinda like the Irs tax code lots of pages and open to interpretation and bribes .

Hell yea......but the current rules are knocking me out because I'm using a 30.06 or the Ruger 480 with the red dot. cry

The current rules were stated as only rifles that are .22 or handguns with open sights. Like I said before, I think this is a conspiracy to stack the deck. mad

If this is going to be a true Dink-a-thon, it should be open to all attendees regardless of weapon and bribes. laugh
I will rent out .22 centerfires for a reasonable fee grin

I of course will keep the best looking one for myself, to have an edge in the -thon smirk

Stay the course...the triple 4 Marlins are tack drivers. Besides the wopper deer you shoot in New York you need a bigger gun.

Seafire has a great load for the T4 using the Hornady 300 gr XTP....just sayin.

I had that on there to protect my beautiful wood and the Swede and of course dragging that deer out I tripped and dinged it any how,so it will go

1 shot is usually all I need, but you never know when you might be able to get a twofer. But then again, you have to remember that I've never shot a pig before either. I'll either miss or I might get excited and hammer all 3 on day one.......that's if there are any pigs to shoot. I'm hoping and praying that you're right about that. Regardless of the pig situation, I'll still have a good time.

Alright, I'll do the teeth thing......or I'll cheat and take it off before I get in the truck to come back to the lodge. laugh

Shouldn't those be rechambered to 222 Rem Mag, AI?
Just a reminder to the judge.

My daughter and a Winchester Featherweight 7x57 with an old Weaver 4x.

[Linked Image]

Notice her smile.
I think the smile should get extra points. If that's her first deer, she should get even more extra points.
OK: First off to address the single shot whiners...

Think about it....anytime you've gotten your first shot off, it was a matter of minutes ( and not seconds) before you needed to shoot a second time....if ever.


If you feel the need for a Bubba- Buddy you should also buy a ball cap at the same time that says " Im not comfortable with a Single Shot"

Brian; style points are deducted for Encores, special considerations are not given for them. No kudos for the Leupold scope either...that kind of thing is simply expected.


Please.


And For Elks, and to get back on topic your daughter gets extra style points for being a girl, for getting her first deer, and above all, for using a proper cartridge. However, as dink-a-thon entries go, hers is a monster buck, and thats gonna hurt her overall score.

And for Dan: Im sorry I was so terse with you and I'm sorry you scratched your swede...we will kiss and make up at the pig hunt.

A .22-250 AI, or even just a Swuft would real interesting in the 1 in 8" barrel. But I haven't shot it yet, need to see how it shoots smile
I'm back on the trail of a .444 Marlin lever....I have a .22-250AI 1:8 and a .223 Windham AR 1:8 but the Ruger # 1 with that wood and stainless is like a sirens call
Back on point big bore lever gun and if I don't like it someone with get a deal on it in the classifieds. I hunt OH occasionally and I'd put it to use there so there is a motive here

Minus points......points you can't afford to lose......
Dan you are right on the recoil of the .444 and I can virtually guarantee you'll be amazed at the accuracy....

Alright, alright....I'll leave the Bubba Buddy.

And I'll just have to shoot the smallest pig to win it. I'll try to make up the lost points for the Encore by shooting a speckled pig too.

Sheeesh......what a hard azz. I still claim discrimination. frown
I'll be trying to skip this award and shoot some big porkers...but accidents happen
Yea, I'd love to get a big one and get it mounted. My dogs would totally freak out.

The fact that we seek out speckled pigs is proof we don't discriminate....


but it does seem like the all black one squeal more when they don't get free food, and are slower about everything they do.


Just to show you that I celebrate diversity I will try to shoot an all white pig.
A big pig with tusks would be cool, but but one or two eating size pigs would be fine for me.
Cousin and I got on a hose job hunt last year...waited till the last second cause all we saw were small pigs....he wanted some meat for his super bowl party so we put the kadoink on three of them, a 30,40, and50 pounder.





They were DELICIOUS! laugh
How did a thread about killing "dink" deer turn into a thread about killing "dink" pigs?

Rhetorical question.
You ruined it when you posted that pic of your monster buck.....
Ok,so posting this pic should get this thread back on track? wink

No.
How about this?

No.



But if you posted a pic of that .460 Bee it will completely screw up this thread.

My entry, killed why stalk hunting with a .270, while wearing a wool Filson vest I bought from Shrapnel.
The use of a .270 is grounds for immediate disqualification, and a first warning. This could lead to permanent banning from this esteemed competition. (grin)

Please give yourself some credit. The vest needed your arms to make the shot, even if you run across a deer while hunting stalks.

All kidding aside, congrats.

Edited to add:


That vest came from Shrapnel?

WE'RE NOT WORTHY!!!

[Linked Image]

the deer died, trying on the vest? Heck of a wool allergy... smile
Yup I figured the Filson vest from Shrapnel would offset my use of a .270.

You figured wrong. The Shrapnel vest is only going to partly offset your indiscretion with the .270...


Likewise I appreciate you getting this thread back on track, but you entered a comparative monster buck,knowing full well he wouldn't win unless you could offer stock option bribes in Blantons distillery to the judge....

Tricky...but that schitt doesn't get past the Poobah....

Okay, I'll put you down for the rye.

Here's the story on that magnificent unicorn stud:

Moron was apparently bedded in a super thick, 1ac blackberry thicket, while I walked within 75 yards of him, climbed a tree, and was then cold trailed by the neighbor's walker hound. The now lobotomized unicorn remained bedded while the hound circled the blackberry patch, baying at the thing he'd 'treed' on the other side. Hound finally loses voice and leaves to roll in cat poop somewhere else, around 4:00. 4:30, unicorn decides coast is clear, and gets up and feeds toward my stand, offering no shot in the trash, but allowing me to judge that he really should be the LAST of his kind to snipe a doe on this land. Finally, at 72yards, he stretches his head too far up into a hole in the thick, to nibble a unicorn bud or some such, and ended up with a 180gr hand load, from a 16.5" 357 Maximum, putting a hole in him. The end.

PS: Does it matter if the seal is broken on the rye?
No.

LOL. The story should help your chances in this competition. laugh
Two days left!


The Judge will be reviewing and re-evaluating the entries, and promises of bribes....
I can promise all sorts of bribes...by the case if need be. Delivery might be sketchy, but hey if all you want are promises we're good to go!
One day!
Important questions.

Do the Bribes have to be postmarked prior to 2-1-16?

If a Bribe is drop-shipped, do you have a means of moving it out of the street?

Are Bribes viable if shipped in multiple 270 ml containers?

To be viable...bribes should have arrived by now.


Judging by your questions I must think that you have not yet submitted a bribe.


This could move your standings in the contest....

I think we have a new contestant pulling into first place here. As the sole Judge of this years competition, and the Grand Poobah of all things, I will officially end the Dink-a-thon on January 31st. All entries must be submitted by then.


Its the rules.


Don't forget me, Fearsome One!

This was an antler-less hunt as defined by the state, BTW, and after all the brown was down and loaded in the truck I whupped out a flask of Buffler Trace and me & buddy quaffed it to empty!

[Linked Image]
After a great deal of consideration the Judge has arrived at the following decisions.....The competition was rough this year, but the winners are pretty plain to see:


FIRST PLACE: dvdgeorge- my buddy Dan! laugh His pictorial showing balls to verify and whiskey to bribe cinched the deal.

FIRST RUNNER UP: ColdCase1984 - This was a tough tough choice for the judge. Should any misfortune or scandal befall Dan, CC1984 can slip into the winners spot and feel the glory for the next year.

SECOND RUNNER UP: Vic in Va-what can I say...his entry wasn't an albino....

MISS CONGENIALITY- Ringworm

HONORABLE MENTION: must be given to Huntingnut and deer assassin



On the lower end of the list...last place finishers, we have the following...


In the Exotics category- Axis Deer- The Grand Poobah himself grin

In the South of the Equator Category- Red Deer- T_Inman

In the Mule Deer Category- Cold Case's nephew

In the Whitetail Category- dvdgeorge ( again!)

For those on the low end of the list, you simply can't shoot dinks unless you let the big ones pass.

Theres a lesson in there somewhere.



Should there be any challenges to the judge's decision you must always remember....


[Linked Image]
I an honored and privileged to accept the award on behalf of all dink shooters across this great nation!
I am also almost as happy winning last place in the whitetail category. It just show that with hard work and commitment one can go from last to 1st!

I look forward to my face to face meeting with the Grand One to share libations and bribes!


Fun thread, and educational as well as entertaining. Where else does the true character of our esteemed colleagues here on the 'Fire shine so brightly?

My only regret is that I didn't have (a picture of) the balls to win this.....
Geezzz, I had hoped to at least get a Dishonorable Mention. Ya know, with the picture of the doe and all. eek

So tell me, what's the game plan for the pig-a-thon? Is it to see who can shoot the biggest, or the smallest?........that's if I'm even allowed to compete.
Dan can go down in history. Just think he can win both dink contests in the same year!!!

There will be some tuff competition----I think I'll scoop the dink piggy and carefully plan my dink deer hunt next fall.

I guess we could have a competition for biggest...but that so blasé' and has been done so many times before...


Or we could have a color contest....best red, white, or polka dot!


I'll be down there next week staking out a winner...
I'll be looking to shoot one of these with the .444

As with the deer contest, points awarded for closest bullet weight/pig weight.

.444 with a 300 grain LBT outta be just right for your little friend you have there.
Okay...I need to step in here with a few rules....


Rule#1. the bullet can NOT weigh more than the pig.




I'll think of more later.
Congratulations to DVDGeorge! We share the same first name; it's a Dan's world...

I assure you, Gr. Poobah, next year's offering will have a better presentation; that dinkyness, however, will be hard to match!

It would be the first time in his life he was called a 'winner'....
eek

Bribes must sent before deer season is over! Once the season is over the judge has been known to be drunk for at least a month. powdr

we caught one of those noisy little schitts a few years ago by hand after chasing it around a good bit, and i still have no idea how something that small can make so much noise....deafening when they start squealing as loud as they can. It was probably 2-3 weeks old, we took a few pix & let it go.

Brother in law popped 3 of them while squirrel hunting last year, about a month old maybe...probably dressed out at about 5-6 pounds each, we dressed em & smoked 'em whole, and they were pretty tasty. wink

I think the bribes were a little light this year. powdr
