There is a new sheriff,judge and jury this year the ancient one has stepped down and I have been anointed the chosen one to carry the torch. I am a 3 time Dinkathon champ including back to back wins (I was robed another year but that is water under the bridge) I am a firm but just ruler and that said rules count and here they are as follows 1. Dink must be a male deer 2. Pictures of dink must be provided as proof of kill and dinkhood 3.Pictures of junk as support of sex 4.Style points for weapon used picture of weapon in photo helpful *bonus points if dink i shorter than weapon* 5. The bribe is an integral part...Bourbon and Fine Cigars are favored 6. In the event of a discrepancy the HMF(thats Head Mo Fo) will rule and that ruling will be final...BTW I'm the HMF May all who try enjoy success or lack there of true success hunting! I now pronounce 2019 Dinkathon season opened (season closed last of Jan) Example pics

Must there be protruding antler, or are buttons sufficient?
I thought that part of being a dink was that it had to have bone showing. In Kentucky, a button goes down as antlerless and you can take as many as you want. If it has visible antler, you have to burn your one and only buck tag.

Spots should certainly play in your favor. Which is good because I have a bunch still running around in full spots. Should still be visible by November.
I've got some real winners lined up and about ten tags to burn on them this year. I'm ready.

If it has visible antler, you have to burn your one and only buck tag. Shaman, I consider it a failure on my part if I allow a buck to live long enough to have horns protruding. There's no excuse for that and you should challenge yourself as a hunter to get some lead in them and little bit earlier. -Jake

I won't be participating this year, feeling like a miserable loser, as the pic below is the smallest deer I've shot this year. The new HMF shot one ...no, make that two...bigger than this already this year...hence his ability to objectively judge " Dinks" has already come into question for some of us. I'm sure however that said doubts can be smoothed over by a liberal application of the aforementioned high end bourbon and cigars....

In Kentucky, a button goes down as antlerless and you can take as many as you want. If it has visible antler, you have to burn your one and only buck tag. SAME in Ark. These rules are PRE emptive in States where button bucks MUST be tagged & checked as ANTERLESS. It's NO matter to me as I don’t hunt or shoot dinks and ain’t going to. But my Grandkids don’t stand any chance VS button bucks. Y’all carry on. Jerry

I've got a ten rounder ready for the 7600. These button bucks don't have a chance this year. I got a good spot where they cross right before getting to my neighbors stand. Always a good spot to stack a few drinks up while emptying 10 rds of '06 -Jake

3 times would have been 3 years worth with her. She always said she was ready the eve of opening day of deer season...of course I was 200 miles north in deer camp.

Nice collection. Wish I could find one bottle of blantons, luckily Weller isn't hard to find. The pappy 10 year is great, but probably doesn't match up to volume of the others? Just asking for a friend.

Brian..I think this judge will be more strict than the last one...and for sure he has higher standards for bribes. I have completely removed myself from this competition because my smallest entry still 'netted' a 7 in B&C scoring.....and I can't stand the shame of losing.... Even this entry was refused on the basis that it was photoshopped and had no junk pictures.....Accusations flowed freely! And I made it a point to shoot one with spots....

I've only been in the woods twice so far. It's been way too hot up until about 2 weeks ago. Shot a doe Saturday night and she had a dink with her. I'm not pissed off enough to shoot a dink yet. I'm sure as the season wears on, their time will come. Early muzzle loader comes in tomorrow with only 3 days of buck, so I need to only shoot losers. Next week is doe (antlerless) only. Horns under an inch count as antlerless here. You never know, my trigger finger might slip and I might shoot a dink by accident. We shall see.

My 2019 entry. Blacktail from S.E. Alaska. Taken with .35 Whelen and 250 gr Partition. Pretty much lost a shoulder with the shot. Hopefully extra style points for an old man packout (age = 57, packout = 1+ miles thru the jungle) and NOT using a Crudmore. 32# of boned out meat in the game bag.

Hint - it did not win.

Unlike some of you puds who aren't taking this seriously and are just messing around and playing, I take dink slaying seriously. I've got my dink patterned. I'm just waiting for him to get those nubs rubbed down a little more then I'll put an arrow though his lungs. -Jake

I shot a dink smaller than that in Guernsey County a couple years. The esteemed Pooh-Bah deducted style points because of using a shotgun with slugs. Even a bribe couldn't sway his opinion.

I am heading out in a bit to see if I can shoot a small Canadian Dink- I have been scolded and shamed several times in this competition over the years as Canadian Dinks apparently just don't Cut it when it comes to “leading edge small” ! I have one anterless tag left However, so hope springs eternal ! Cat

Sorry for the suspense gentlemen. Last Saturday my wife drew a women's hunt on a military base here in Ohio. She was allowed a buck and a antlerless or two antlerless. I was allowed two antlerless. They gave you a spot to hunt and you had to stay there. So success largely depended on where you were placed. Some couples got a buck and all three antlerless. Others saw none all day. We didn't see anything until about 11oclock. When a little doe came through the brush in front of us. Unable to make a shot, we were discouraged as we just weren't seeing many deer like I had in years past hunting there. At 11:50 a little one came out and I pointed it out to my wife and she began to get set up for the shot. She hit a tree directly in front of the deer but the deer just stood there staring. She worked the slide on her Mossberg 20ga and somehow jammed it up with her glove. I attempted to unjam her glove and she told me to shoot the deer, so I did. Bonus points for stealing it from my wife? This monster dressed out right at 40lbs. Although I don't have a scale picture unfortunately. Last is a picture of a buck shot in the next unit over. To be successful at dinking you have to be willing to work hard, be persistent, and pass sub par bucks like that. -Jake

Now dat's a dink!
But, can you come up with a better *story* as to why you shot her world-class dink?
Is she even aware of this contest? Are you holding out?
Our gun season starts Saturday, so I know who I have to aim for....you gonna be hard to beat.

She is aware. Her first words when we got up to it were "are you going to enter this one into the contest?"
Of course I cut the sack off and hung it in a tree then forgot to take a picture.

Not being the Judge but merely a lowly contestant, I am of the opinion that stealing a dink is a positive thing. As hard as it is to harvest (Like that word?) a world class dink, to take one away from another would demonstrate one's competitive nature.

I agree. There may have been some elbows involved in trying to get into position for the shot. Maybe.

It's good to take a cull buck every now and then. You don't want those dark heavy antler genes spreading around if you can help it

It takes great marksmanship to even hit an animal of that stature, especially with your adrenaline coursing full-bore and your heart beating at about 7000BPM. I’m impressed. Wish I had a dink even twice that big to carry around in my pocket, with all the others.

We got a dink yesterday. Standing by the Jeeps, trying to figure out how to get my deer out of the woods, the sherriff stopped by. Button took a truck bumper down the road. Buddy got the permit for it.
Dink, that could easily be folded to fit in a game vest pocket.

We need pictures or it didn't happen. A picture of the wreckage might add style points, but that would be up to the judge.

You think your taxi can fix the G4 on the right side. I had my guy build a brow tine one time and you couldn't even tell.

He could add the tine back and make it look perfect. But it was missing when I shot him so thats the way he will stay.
Didnt break off while in my possession.
Just is what it is.
Saved me a couple hundred, as if not busted proly would have gotten shoulder mount.
The.ol lady is pissed I didnt.

Minimal I reckon. No glass or plastic at impact scene, We did not hit it, were just the lowly janitors.

Don't have the does. Bud says pop a button. I dunno, new .30-06 aint been blooded. Dedication..............burn 25 dollars for an antlerless tag and drive 12 miles to knock the spots off one. Best think about it. Not sure I wanna be a forum darling.
Proly need to half arse it and use my bow on the tag I have.
Nobody I know is worth donating a deer to, some folks hard up but they're A holes and I'd rather have them starve.

I had my eye on a nice Dink last week, but he was too big for this competition. His left side was about an inch or so long, and his right side was almost flush. He was a definite loser, so I let him walk. The morning after Thanksgiving, my trigger finger slipped again and I accidentally / on purpose shot this loser. He appears as though he is the little brother of the one I shot a few weeks ago.

I respectfully (yea, right!) submit this specimen as an entrant to the illustrious Dink-A-Thon for Da Judge's review. I didn't have my file with me so antlers are "in the rough". I'll have to work on them and resubmit. Here is a combo pic of rifle, junk....or is that junk, rifle? I can submit in optics forum for their approval for using a SuperChicken scope, whose total acceptance may not be possible due to 2nd focal plane. There was a 2 mph no-value wind for a 47-yard shot, so credit for a good firing solution when I sent it should be probable. Bribes were obtained, but as has been my past practice, sampling for a possible inferior product was conducted. As the QC Manager (me) was unsure, testing proceeded into the night, and another sample may need to be obtained as the first was consumed with no verdict on quality. First things first, work will resume when the hangover has been properly rated.

Yes, perfect. The very strenuous 20-yard drag was near the physical limits of our Dink-dedicated group. All two of us struggled,but we eventually made it to the truck.
Then we had to lift him about two feet to place him in the hitch-mounted rack. That was about it for me......

Well, since the Dink-a-Thon has went way off track, I kept the spirit going....I know, two wrongs don't make a right. I did find out one thing. A Sierra 165 HPBT Gameking will precipitate the need for a hernia mesh. My latest entry;

Alright, here's my real entry. This is the best I can do, but still a loser. 75 yards through the woods, thought it was a doe. If it had been a couple of days later, he would have been a winner. The bucks generally lose their horns the first or second week of January, and as you can see, he already lost one side. Thomson Center Encore 12 ga. 3" Beneke Magnum Crush 1 1/2 oz. 1620fps Close up. Junk. Bribe. Sorry, it's best I can do. Don't have any of that high octane stuff around. Maybe I can style points for losing control of my gun. Damn thing got me good and drew blood. Got a little bit of a black eye.

Yeah, I was in an awkward position leaning forward with my left arm on the shooting rail (I'm left handed) and shooting to my right. Obviously the stock wasn't against my shoulder. When I pulled the trigger, the stock slipped under my arm pit. That'll make me hold on to the damned thing next time I shoot it.

Had a good friend in college shooting a .300 Win for whitetails...saw a dink poking its head around a bush and shot it. Got scope bit bad...once he cleaned the tears and blood out of his eyes he looked through the scope to check on the dink...it was still standing there looking at him! So he shot again! You guessed it..one dink piled on top of another... He coulda won with that double too...

I was worried about that. that is the exit, and when I opened him up, all the abdominal organs were intact, just the diaphragm was screwed up.

I'll be out there tomorrow. A guy at work wants a deer if I can shoot one. So, if it's brown, it's down. If all I can get is a dink, so be it. The problem is that they're all bunched up in big herds now. So either ya see a bunch, or nothing at all. I just need them inside of 35 yards.

Sorry for the suspense gentlemen. Last Saturday my wife drew a women's hunt on a military base here in Ohio. She was allowed a buck and a antlerless or two antlerless. I was allowed two antlerless. They gave you a spot to hunt and you had to stay there. So success largely depended on where you were placed. Some couples got a buck and all three antlerless. Others saw none all day. We didn't see anything until about 11oclock. When a little doe came through the brush in front of us. Unable to make a shot, we were discouraged as we just weren't seeing many deer like I had in years past hunting there. At 11:50 a little one came out and I pointed it out to my wife and she began to get set up for the shot. She hit a tree directly in front of the deer but the deer just stood there staring. She worked the slide on her Mossberg 20ga and somehow jammed it up with her glove. I attempted to unjam her glove and she told me to shoot the deer, so I did. Bonus points for stealing it from my wife? This monster dressed out right at 40lbs. Although I don't have a scale picture unfortunately. Last is a picture of a buck shot in the next unit over. To be successful at dinking you have to be willing to work hard, be persistent, and pass sub par bucks like that. -Jake Congrats to Bocajnala he is the 2019 Dinkathon champion the rest of you had a miserable display of dinkery this season!

That's a dandy Ohio dink !! 1st time there was a shotgun/slug winner. When Pooh-bah was running it----it cost me points for using an 870 with slugs. I also hunt Ohio with my brother down in Guernsey County.

Congratulations to Bocajnala. That was the best Dink this year by far. I liked the fact that you stole it from your wife.
Update: I did go out on the last day. I was only in the tree for about 20 minutes when about 10 does came out of the thick stuff directly towards me. Shot a big, fat, old monster doe. She was only about 20 feet from the base of my tree. The guy at work that I gave it to was too ill to deal with the whole deer. So my son skinned it and quartered it out for him. He said that was the biggest damn deer he's cut up in long time. I bet that bitch was over 160 lbs. It's nice to close out the season with a harvest.
