Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Dink-a-thon?

Sorry to hear this because you're a great competitor. We'll look forward to hearing from you when you give us your expert analysis and opinion on the complicated rulings.




So in other words, you're getting tired of screwing around with little Bambies when there are bigger ones to kill your time with.

Au contrair Remember I am the only one to come in last place and win the Dinkathon in the same season.....when you are the #DinkGOAT you can kill large buck and dinks

Last place "winner" while still taking the Dinkathon title



Winning the title this season I also killed this 11pt buck




Again I will no longer compete formally in the contest and give others a chance ....not to say a dink won't make it to my table for fare

Tis a dark day indeed when Dvdgeorge throws in his hat. Incidently sir, what types of bribes err......reimbursements would you find satisfactory to "influence" your vote?

I was thinking that what worked so easily with Poobah might not meet your obviously higher standards.......

Ah fine bourbon is still the way to both judges hearts

Have you thought of guiding?

Do the rules allow a dink from a guided hunt? I'm sure a bribe is in order...

Dinkathon participants must take dink on their own with out the assistance of a guide

Rule 4.35a sub paragraph 4 of the judges rule book

I wonder what the "Blanton's Factor" is on that one.

4 bottles

How 'bout if I take it with the Family Truckster?

You lose big time on style points using a vehicle

Yes Dan is retiring from the competition with three wins...but we have not seen the last of him.

With his vast experience and winning attitude I have decided to make him Co-Judge in the next Dinkathon!


Read that to mean serious entries must be accompanied by TWICE the amount of bribes!

Do we have to shoot the deer twice as many times?? Will there be a "Ceiling" on size that can be an entry??

Kudos to Dan for his win, and thank God for his decision to retire. I let so many small deer go by for fear that it wouldn't be a competitor that I almost ended up without a small deer, but shot one anyway to keep my local reputation. (My hunting buddies are unaware of my participation. I just tell them they are good "eaters").

The pressure was so much I had to drink the bribes I bought to cope...

I think I'll open next years as a toast to the new co-judge.

Yeah Vic, you've won once yourself, with a white deer...tough act to follow.

Dan and I will be discussing protocol for next years Dinkathon...but I think he may invoke the " deer can't be longer than the gun" rule...

Yes and the devil will be in the details....unless the bribe warrants other wise

Now that will be interesting.....I was going to use a 1911....

If you get one close to gun size you’re a shoe in

Particulars on that piece? Nice looking one.

I just converted a Ruger SR1911 to 45 Super. I probably won't hunt with it as a primary weapon, but if I'm out doing chores and an opportunity presents itself......

Les Bear UTC with handloads

I'm going to have to get a longer barrel......


I can't say that I'm pleased with third place when I had such high aspirations. But I'll use the experience gained this season and the third place as a motivator to hopefully place higher next season. I may take my talents to a southern state next year to get into some smaller dinks
