I will not Participate...
After 2 years of consecutive solid entries I am pulling back.
I refuse to participate in the Pay to Play Clintonian system that is, apparently, the law of the land.
What are we teaching our children when we allow Whiskey to be exchanged for position.
My poor daughter shot her first buck...first deer for that matter, in the neck,with a RARR, in 300BLK...and had the hippies call the cops on her!
That's a clear win, but since she is under the legal age to purchase Bourbon she couldn't submit a bribe and lost.
What's become of the honorable competition? Nay, this country?

Quit bein a pussy.

I'm thinking Texas Vodka and a .218 Bee, myself

This year, I take stunt shooting to an all new level:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


Style points awarded for this already!






And for Ringworm. GFY.

If you can't warm up to the American Way of doing things then I would refuse your entry anyway.

Or if I was Hillary, I would not postpone your suicide.


Oh and Vodka wont cut it. this isn't Russia you know....


The Judge

In this day & age, it is PC to believe everyone is a winner.

Hope this makes you feel better Ring ?

No.

Screw him.


Theres no " Participation Trophies" in the Dink-a-thon.

At least not until I see " Participation Bribes".............





The Judge.

You could've taken her by a moonshiner, then.

The whole dinkathon thing is just a running joke.....I hope....At least, well, the bribes I buy, uhhh, I kinda just keep them for myself.


This thing isn't real, is it? Even with "junk" pics....?

Say's the man that bottle fed an albino, then shot it in the woods - on a leash...

I told you not to tell anybody!

I ain't gonna let you borrow my leash, bottle, and white krylon, now.

Besides, that leash was to drag it with.....

This guy would probably screw up my chances, too...

Tex, ya dinks too big !

Bet you've heard that NEVER !

My last entry was disqualified due to using a 270 and a Game King. This year I'm still using a 270 and don't care, I will still enter

Sorry...... but that(⬆⬆⬆⬆x2) was quite funny... 😂😂😂

You'll be fine this year. Ingwe finally recognized his inner gay and bought a 6.8spc (the 'metric' gay version of the 270 WCF).

Yep, short, fat & gay matches all 3 of his personality traits !

The 6.8 is Tacticool..its not gay.

The .270 is a prime example of Gay Overcompensation.

Any entries submitted by .270 shooters will require significant extra bribes.


The Judge.

I suggest a chew toy for Rommel, A bottle of Becky Crick, and Photoshop as required...

Saw one last night that still had spots on it, and was WAY small to get rid of those in less than 45 days.

That might just win it, even without a bribe.

I'm not short!

Don't deny you is in denial....

Have you found your "rainbow load" yet?

85 gr bullet and 10-15 gr. of H322... we wouldn't want it to over-penetrate. Or, bruise the shooters shoulder.

do crossbows add style points?

Yes, but you need to consult the Olympics Gymnastic Floor routines for what counts for more.

No. Theres deductions for bows or crossbows. The Judge sees too many of them misused on Bubbavision.

Is the Dinkathon limited only to the States?

yes, and TX.

& Canada !

Alatls?

No Atlatls either, or spears.

Guns. Single shots are accepted.

Are the rules made up as the contest progresses?

Pretty much....


And often they are influenced by timely bribes....

I will go ahead and even make the first entry as I think this is the only deer I'll kill this year...and it will make it easy for you guys.....





You're welcome.


The Judge

It still has spots so I guess it qualifies as a dink. I think them horns are strap on's.

chit that's a nice one

Figured the bribe part was mandatory.

How is this for a bribe,I will not make fun of your age,looks,size or cartridge selection for a whole hour. Do I win now?

Its a full-grown fawn!!!!!!

Not sure bribes work. I even named a wildcat in his honor and didn't get chit...

last year's loser.
shot from the bedroom window in boxer shorts, Sunday am, head shot with Hornady AMAX, with wife in bed reading paper and coffee cup cooling beside me.

Still bitter about that eh?

yeah...I may not recover.

I am bound and determined to submit a winning entry this year. I haven't killed a bambi since this contest began, but this year will be different, even if I have to chase the little bastid across both sides of the freeway, under the bridge and hit him with my truc.......with my .375 Magnum Shoulderbuster.

To that end, who should I forward several cases of fine booze and good beer to in order to secure my spot in the judging process? Also, where is you car, and when did you want me to wash and wax it?

As for taking your wife to scrapbooking classes, and watching every episode of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and several soap operas, I'm sorry but I have to draw the line there..........

No worries, my wife doesn't watch that crap on TV.

Car is dirty though...and Im thirsty....



The Judge.

Wash your car and get me something to drink while you're at the fridge.

The Elks.

Thats not how this works.

Have some respect for your elders.


The Judge

Oh sorry,forgot to add that you're outa snacks,go down to the closest store and get some cheese puffs. And a 6-pack of Lipton tea,peach or lemon will be just fine.



Thanks from the Elks.

Ring,

Can't believe you're bitter over that giant !

This was a loser from a previous year !





Young kid, cool gun, open sights & milk on it's lips !

I didn't know about this contest 2 yrs ago (last time I took a dink).

Probably not gonna try to enter this yr.

that's when life puts an piebald unicorn right in front of you.

Hell I'm sober tonight and I still laughed at that

Dear The Judge,

So glad to hear your wife's not into that drivel on TV. It's bad enough I have to sit through that when my wife's home. The worst part is, she expects "conjugal visits" afterwards.........

As for the beer and booze, sorry, but I drank it all after sitting through a 4 hour marathon of the Jerry Springer Show, followed by 4 hours of The View. The conjugal visits didn't even seem that bad, as I was able to finally shut off the danged TV. I guess everyone's gotta take one for the team once in a while......

Maybe it's time for a new judge?

Oh [bleep]!

Well....it certainly looks like Ive hurt a few feelers around here. Guys that didn't win ( Wah!!!!) Guys that want a new judge ( GFY)

Print your choice, you whiny bastids!

The JUDGE's decisions are FINAL!

The little guy on the throne is me.

The others are you.


Get used to this scenario!

There.


I feel much better now.

Yup,feeling much better now.

Look upon it as therapy for whining manginas.

Big Stick?




It's okay though, I have a secret weapon for style points this year.

Ingwe,

There's a package coming your way to the address listed above. Enclosed you will find one case of pre-lubed rubbers and a 5 gallon vat of chap stick. If you're going to screw us, please suit up and at least kiss our azzes when your done.

The aforementioned bribe payments of whiskey and beer are on the way. The car wash will be done at your convenience.

Most sincerely,

The "bribe" master.

Anyone noticing the similarities between The "Poobah" and the not for profit "ingwe Foundation"

Not too different than another 'pay for play' scheme making headlines lately.

Coincidence?




I think not...

That was mean.

Thats the first time Hillary has even been touched by a real man.

She loved it.


Him....not so much

Idaho's too far north to have true micro-deer. We need a handicap system for latitude.

"whoa, he touched me, right on my pooper !

Overall size of deer is not as important as antler size. Should be some dinky bucks someplace in Idaho....Ive shot little ones in Montana,but granted, they were wayyyyyy to big to even place in the Dinkathon.


Example....

Notice, Bill is happy about it too. No doubt cause he doesn't have to do it now....

Yup.

On nah you di int?

Yup.

By Dinkathon standards, that's got Boone and Crockett written all over it, and how do you go about bribing yourself? One method comes to mind, but I cant imagine you're quite that flexible any more.......

Here's what works for me.

1. Buy the "bribe".
2. Buy the shipping container.
3. Buy the packaging material.
4. Package aforementioned bribe.
5. Set said package aside until Dinkathon is near the end.

By then, you will have rethought the bribe, or run low on regular stock. That package is a lot closer than the store....

And, it's comforting to know that when one goes, he will have a few turds to smoke. At least, he tells me I will.

I wonder, because sometimes I question his honesty. I should've won one time except somebody sent in a picture of "junk", and I wondered about that for a long time, well, until he bought a 6.8.......

Yup,buying a 6.8 answered a lot of questions about Ingwe.

He's probably listening to "Culture Club" right now as he reads this.

That was cruel.


elks: I just got in a batch of bullets for the 6.8 courtesy of another member here of discriminating taste.....very much unlike your basic .270 shooting unicorn hunter...

Ingwe,you do realize that real .270 bullets start at 130 grs. Anything lower is for little girls and old men.

A) I AM an old man...and

B) Anything over 110 grains is overcompensating on any Freudian scale.


Real Men can kill big critters with little bullets....

Real men can kill small game with BIG bullets.

I'd argue with ya, but you kinda have Phil Shoemaker on your side.

You're lucky....this time....

Damn, I just thought about it.

Hell, he may win the Dinkathon this year without even shooting a deer, if big animal/small bullet is a parameter.

I always tried big bullet/little animal....

Nobody shooting a Weatherby is gonna win.

The Judge.

BIASED!

OK...if it'll make you feel better, I'll amend that.

Nobody shooting a Weatherby Mark V will win.


Vanguards are GTG.

Better,thanks for the clarification.

Better get these rules all straight before I defend my 'Pork-a-Dink' title. Bob

I would have to think that if the owner of a nice Weatherby happened to accidentally drop several cases of choice hooch off the bumper of his truck, totally by accident of course, in the Poob's driveway, he might reconsider the "no Weatherby winner" clause.......

Hey now......I dominated that category last year. Heck I've caught bigger bass than this thing.....

[img:left][/img]

Can the winner use an original Weatherby rifle on a genuine FN Mauser action? Or maybe a custom .270 on a pre-'64 Model 70 Winchester action?

How about a Handi-Rifle in .30-30?

There's a photo on mine in the hog hunt thread. I'm holding a jackrabbit in hand & my dink in the other.

Thats all good. Just so long as its not a Mark V.

There is a separate category for .270s......

Johnny...you arent even in the running with that monster!


Colo Bobs entry won by the lack of a whisker...







Just so you know what you're up against.

The competition is fierce.

So,if I was to kill a legal buck here in New Mexico with a .300 Wby,it's all good as long as it's not a Mark V.

Yes.

All dinks matter, even the Mark V and 270 dinks.

They may matter, but not to The Judge....

They could with the correct bribe

Need a different Judge then.

Mutiny is forbidden too.

Snork!

Have you been looking for some island to retire on?

You're just hoping I'll find someplace without innanet....

Yup,and every one owns Weatherby Mark V's!

Probably wont move there then....that equates to too many knee grows.

Look at it this way,lots of gun bearers to pick from.

True.


You always were a 'glass half full' kinda guy!

Yup,always gotta look at the bright side of things.

The judge likes strap ons

If they use a handi rifle don't they have to be photographed drinking a pounder of old mil' at the time of kill

Personally, considering what a fussy PITA mine has been, I think I deserve style points...especially for beating Weatherby factory velocities...

Man, the Poobs is on a roll today!

LMAO!

Why would anyone shoot a perfectly good Weatherby when there's other suitable targets available?

"perfectly good Weatherby" is an oxymoron....

Aw come on Ingwe-fence post, tomato stake, fire wood.........

I know they are all the rage at the Trailer Park...

I still think 180's at 3300fps deserve some style points. Assuming I find enough parts of the dink to enter, of course

you can gain another 15 fps if you charge while shooting.

hard to do while sitting in the blind...would having your pet possum distract the deer bring extra style points?

And that's bad,how?

Would it be acceptable to shoot my dink from a newly erected blind consisting of a school bus sitting atop a former fuel tank?
IF I use a .270?
I could even use my Red Rider to put it down for good after running up to it??

I also use an overnite service for shipping bourbon/bribes
pictures.

Now you're getting defensive....

What about a Mark V





































In 6.8???????????????

Us trailer trash gots to sticks togetter.


TRAILER TRASH FEELINS MATTER!

See Hurt Feelers Report in previous post....

There once was a dink
Whose little hiney did stink.
His Mama said “Son,I think
You need to run, not walk.
To where the Ingwe doth stalk.
Your nasty azz will get shot,
Oh how great,
To die from a 6.8!”



You are welcome.

Oh, fan-f'n-tastic.

What the haiku is wrong with you?

I liked it.

I think it's to long to be called a haiku !

Let me be The Judge of that!

For some strange reason the first Haiku that popped into mind was by Dice Clay...

Hickory Dickory ingwe.....

Well thanks for telling us we're all #1 Ingwe.....

Doesn't like 270s but bought a 6.8

Denies with vehemence that it is as gay

But there's nothing to debate.

I had two likely candidates in the front yard this morning. Maybe all of 50 lbs with fading spots. Poobs, how 'bout just taking my word for it-I could have whacked them with a wiffle ball bat fercryin' outloud. Gratuitous bribes can and will be passed under, over, and across the table for consideration..............

Without pics it didn't happen!

Hey, poobs, looking at your sig, what would the cool factor be if one, say, gets a dink with something like a .458 SOCOM?

Cool factor points only apply to neato bandito vintage things, and things that I personally like.

The Judge

OK, let's try this again:

Hey, poobs, looking at your sig, what would the cool factor be if one, say, gets a dink with something like a .458 SOCOM necked to 6.8?

Fixed.

I already told you, mutiny is not an option. Its against the rules.

And words hurt.


The Ultimate Judge of All Things.

how does one apply for a variance?
Is there a bribe requirement for a withdrawal chit?

Theres no withdrawal...

You've got to ride it out....

that's what she said...

Exactamundo. Thats where I got the idea.

Five Sylabes here,

Seven more Sylabes there

are you happy now?

WTF is this?

Heinous jocularity?

I'm taken aback.

Betting the judges never heard that before....

Theres only one Judge now, and he's omniscient.

The Poob has spoken!


I have been trying to make deplorable status but nothing works. What's the going bribe these days?

Fifth of Blantons. Or Rebecca Creek if you're from Texas.

Last dink I shot.
Burned my buck tag on it.
Will try to avoid a repeat this yr.

I did buy an old Savage 99 that needs bloodin' though.........temptation.

Buy the bundle tag deal (one buck, two does).
Could zip a decent doe in archery, then pop a nice buck in gun........and then try for a trophy dink.
We can self check-in deer now, no need to go to processor/station and show off.

Fixed.

That I should accept critique from someone who not only shoots a .270, but a Mark V Weatherby as well defies all logic and all that is Holy.

The Judge.

A real bow! Congrats on you last dink

Yep a real bow is worth some style points.

Black Bows Matter!

Thanks. Kinda fond of Blackwidow recurves.
Had 3 built, owned 3 used metal riser models.
Currently run a '72 HF1225.
Would like another HS58.........but don't need it.
One in pic was not FF rated, and was 60#.
Shoulda kept it, but on some days it was a little more than I liked.

A recurve dink, even at 25 yards and hitting where aimed.........is still a dink.

The bow was cool, but it did wear a stabilizer, a K tech with Mathews S coil module. Did help balance and took a little noise out. Was tolerable without it though.

The HF 1225 wears no stabilizer.

Ahem.. the 6.8 spc is a runt .270.

I'd buy Weatherby long before a Remington 700.

I'd buy a Winchester M 70 or Mauser 98 long before I'd buy either of the above.

You got one out of three mostly right.




the .270 is for those wanting to shoot a .277 cal bullet, but also wanting to overcompensate.


The 6.8 is for those secure in their masculinity.


The Judge.

Guess so,only someone who wears leopard print thong underwear is secure in their masculinity.

Interesting statement, once I read between the lines...

I am sensing a great deal of animosity building up towards The Judge...even before the Dink-a-thon begins this year.

Not everyone can walk away a winner, you know.


Unless you guys want me to start presenting you with "Participation Trophies" like they do in the Special Olympics...


Suck it up, get out there and hunt.

Do not force me to wield my considerable power...



The Judge

How dare you equate the Participants of the Dinkathon with the Participants of the Special Olympics.

You are being needlessly rude to the S.O. Participants, and quite possibly insulting their intelligence!!

And I thought insulting the Poobah was a requirement.


Ohhhh.....that's for inclusion in the Merry band of Turd-like people.

Dinkathon + MBOTLP = small turd??

How about that! I've been training for the dink a thon for several years and didn't even know it.

The last few years I've shot tender vittles type button bucks because they taste so dang good. I'll have to enter this years contestant for consideration.


Now, Where are the bribes sent to again? Scotch or Bourbon?

We better listen to Ingwe,I think he means business this time....

That looks like Poobah6.8

Hmmm...there is always...

We gotta bring Randalls to the pig hunt this year!

I think we could swing that. The Model 14 pictured above did finish a pig in Tennessee, a couple years ago. The recently arrived Model 25 would work for skinning one, however.

Lets do it! All I have is my well used ( 44 years!) Model 7 on its third sheath!

Sadly, I won't be able to win the Dinkathon this year. I took a nice 8 pt. buck this morning. I'm sure the Dinkathon faithful are breathing a sigh of relief knowing that I'm out of the running. Poobs, just give me credit for this year's bribes against next year's contest. I just know there's a little one out there with my name written all over it!

I could have blasted a retard buck this evening...a spike mulie with only one antler. The one antler was maybe 4-5 inches long and bent forward and down at the base, covering his eye.

I will bet he weighed 70 pounds and with momma nowhere to be found, he was a bit curious about me.

Pics Jeff.....

Ah, it's a blessing and a curse!



PICS?

I'm trying to get my daughter to help me move the pictures from my phone to here. How do I do this guys? Not very computer literate here.

Dink-a-thon, here I come! Heading up to my lease on Friday. Hope to get a couple-three days on stand, maybe slay a serious dink for fresh sausage at my favorite sausage meat processor.

Since I can't do any reloading this year, I'll probably not do any handgun hunting... but you never know. I'll likely take my 6" S&W M586 along this trip for just-in-case purposes, but my main shooting on stand will be with my lately acquired Savage M99 358 Win. Not that I need a .358 to kill a Texas dink, but I ain't killed nothing with it yet and it needs some blood on it before next spring's bear hunt.

Dayom. I am seriously excited to get hunting season finally... after getting my WY hunt quashed in October, I'm seriously due.

So, being late to this party... what's the rules? Not that I care, really, I plan to lose anyway.

Oh, Poobah, btw... I don't got no leopard print thongs... but I'll be wearin' my lucky pair of bright yellow boxers with the Xmas lights pattern... will that suffice? Are there extra style points for wearin' 'ems over top of my pants?

Not answering for the Poobs, but here are some guidelines.

1. Visible antlers above hairline--cut hair if needed.
2. It is advisable to take pictures of "junk", dunno why, but Poobs has hinted that it might help.
3. 6.8 is the hot new caliber (.270 lite). Might be tied in to #2
3. Blanton's or Rebecca Creek.


A quick field estimate of eligibility for the Dinkathon would be if the antlers can be seen protruding above thumb and index finger while holding between said thumb and index finger, you aren't even in contention.......This is where the Becky crick or Blanton's comes in.

Junk must not make Poobs jealous, and it must be the deer's.

Flamboyancy is encouraged.

Thinking about starting a parallel competition with no standards whatsoever. Everybody gets a trophy,........ everybody that sends a bribe, that is. Not much on whiskey, but naturally infused, small-batch gin will do very nicely, along with macadamia nuts and gift cards for Carabba's and Ledo Pizza.

Extra points for entries without junk pics.

No bribe,but do I win anyway?

We're all winners, but no bribe, no trophy.

However, feel free to visualize receiving one in your head.

I don't see a gun. Did you run him down on foot or just pose with some roadkill?

"We're all winners"....really?

Notice the Judge isn't handing out 'Participation 'trophies?

Only the smallest buck, with nearly vestigial nubs for antlers can win.You people shooting these spikes and monster two points need to rethink your game plan. If you insist on shooting grown-up deer, you'll never be a winner.

Just saying...

Besides, that bunch lost the election.



BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Well, I'm glad to see that there ARE some standards in this here deal. I'm still waiting for a ruling from the Judge on style points, though...

How is that supposed to make us "feel"?😢

Hmmmm....a plan emerges...

Now that Ingwe has got a 6.8 and will see how good the toy version of the .270 is... how long will it be before he gets a full size .270?

He hasn't gotten quite that comfortable with his inner closetness to come out of it that far........yet.


Then, maybe he'll go straight to .270 RoyMag....

Only someone 'completely at ease' would go from a 6.8 to a .270 RoyMag. So 'completely at ease' they would wear leopard thongs... Oops

Randy, those were Cheetah, not Leopard. Clean your glasses

Okay, nice rifle.

I didn't know Ugg made rifle slings!

Sorry about that Jeff. We dont have those thing running around in the woods, where I live, so I dont know which is which.

That sling has more lambswool on it than my best saddle! You need to toughen up a little Ken.

Emergency loin cloth?😳

Look's like this contest is wide open this year. I'm aiming small this year.

This is for you and Dennis.

That kid already knows most of what he'll need to get through life.

Trump should make him Press Secretary.
