I see I have my work cut out for me.
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. It started life as a stock SPS. Cut and crowned at 22.5" (I hear .5" makes'em mo better). Bolt and handle done by Kampfeld. Timney trigger. B&C Ti stock. Talley Lightweights. FXII 6x36 w/dotz. [None of these alterations were CampFire inspired :-)]

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.
They say everything happens for a reason. For me that reason is usually because I've made some bad decisions that I need to pay for.

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!

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. "
Here is the smaller brother...

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!

I'm sure he's in serious contention I just green scored him at a measly 142 4/8" gross

After the 60 day drying period, and a semi-full of Becky, he will be a bonafide dink.....

Bring the Becky in this and you might be a winner. Make the vehicle part of the package and it'll be a wrap...

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.

We might have to consider this one, just because its the smallest deer that kid ever shot.

Dan, I think you are trying too hard. The title means too much to you. Just relax and hunt. Accolades will come in good time....
