Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting OFFICIAL 2017 DINK-A-THON THREAD!

I've been adding estrogen pills to mineral blocks. Should be a bumper crop of dinks!

My wife killed one yesterday and insisted on entering it in this years contest

I done that too Tex, 'cept it was a fairly large doe at 208 yards with my Sharps rifle, I went to get 'her' then saw the baby horn nubs in the hairline, little buck it was, hated to burn a buck tag on that world champ dink, but oh well, i was thankful for the clean kill and meat for the freezer.

Clearly a monster Ted, wont win, I see at least 2"s of horn in the leaves.

BTW, congrats to the Missus on the deer.

That's the deer you have on video correct? Do you have a photo of the nubbins?

Nice entry, Ted. Congrats to the better half. Good eatin, but way too big to win. Errrr... unless you send Ingwe a case of Blantons.

I passed on a similar one this evening, hoping for something smaller...Laffin!

It's a doe

Definitely could benefit from Blanton's, then.

There is some hooch from Texas he likes, and his softer side might appreciate some .270 lite ammo........Becky creek and some 6.8....

Dang, stick in the leaves looks like a little horn, I best go get my eyes checked.

OK, I've got my .308 ready to go, a dink within 300 yards, or regular deer within 500, is going to be in trouble.

Took the .45-70 out today and tuned it up in anticipation of a "Biggest bullet/Smallest deer" class. There ought to be some reward where the recoil is as heavy as the deer.....

That's what my hunting buddies told me until I let them in on the Dinkathon. Only misinformation I gave them is where the bribes go....

Had this years winner bed down 20 yards in front of my blind Monday, but I’m going to let him walk for a couple years. Took Binos at 30 yards to see his buttons, and he might have gone 45 pounds on the hoof.

Now this is the contest for me! Last year a youth hunter on our place wounded a small spike... Later in the week I saw the deer limping past my stand, and decided to take him.

Both measured under 3" so I was able to tag it as antlerless.

Maybe this year I'll have a dink to enter! In PA we have antler restrictions, but in Ohio anything goes!

If memory serves me correct I'm the 2 time reining champ as well as the only 1st and last place winner in the same year

Make that soon to be 3 time champ

Use that .444, we'll sweep big-bullet/small deer category.

I'll be gunning a .45-70.

That big bullet/small deer category makes me want to get a 10ga slug gun.

10 gauge slug gun---"You the Man". I like my fillings. Bbo

This one has potential

ENTIRELY TOO BIG.

In that case, the rules are that "After firing, who gets up first, wins".
