I'm new here, what the hell is a Dink-a-thon? It is an annual tradition here to see who can shoot the smallest buck. I am the Official Judge and Font of all Knowledge. The customary bribe with each entry is Blantons Bourbon. There are rules: like we need close up pics of the antler nubs and junk as proof of sex...unless I determine that we dont---a determination made in direct proportions to bribes. Kids get style points, though they aren't old enough to buy bourbon. Old classic firearms get style points too. Basically its up to my discretion and level of thirst... Hint.

Filaman, I make good entries like this, but my bribe skills aren't up to par. To win this contest requires commitment to dink slaying excellence as well as the ability to properly bribe the poobah -Jake

Bribes and guns aside, nothing eclipses winning the Dink-a-thon, not an Emmy, Grammy or even an Oscar...

Let’s revisit this after you’ve won your first AVN Award.

I begin patterning my dink in late February.
I do this by looking for the sickest, frailest looking pregnant doe that I can find.
Chances are high that a sick frail doe will have runt of a fawn. After that it's just a matter of getting a bullet into said fawn.
I try to get them earlier in the season, early archery or muzzleloader preferably. Faded spots can carry you a long way in this contest. And you definitely have Better chance if you get them before they fatten up for winter.

-Jake Nice try to get someone chasing the wrong prey. Everyone that knows anything about deer, knows that a sick, frail impregnated doe controls the “X” and “Y” chromosomes by nutritional stability that causes a unintentional shift to the female sex of the offspring. Go ahead and send all the other potential D-a-T competitors on a wild doe chase, real deer hunters know it takes lots more than what a frail doe can produce to create a true Dink-A-Thon masterpiece...

This looks an awful lot like pontification. If there's any pontificating to do on this thread, it should be left up to The Judge to do it. The Poobah has spoken...... and he still hasn't seen any whiskey or a Honda SL350 appearing from the south.... Just sayin'.....

-Jake Thank you! She’s a good girl and she earned it, this is her second year using it. I bought it as a riflethatshe could keep and use her entire life. I pray that she’ll continue to hunt as she grows even without me encouraging her to go.

I like Chance's daughter's buck.--. Classic Rifle, Classic Round, Classic shot placement, Great Smile & she's prettier than the rest of you.
Lot's of style points there--Pooh-Bah.
I'll send the bribe if that helps.
