Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Time to enter this years Ingwe Dink-O-Thon

This is one contest I won't feel bad about losing........

I have encountered a problem in competing in the Dink-a-thon. The state of Minnesota, in it's infinite wisdom, has chosen to jeopardize my chances of winning this prestigious title by not giving me a doe tag. Will there be a separate class for the smallest legal spike buck? There should be for those of us not legally able to shoot true dinks.

No worries...spike bucks make excellent entries...ask me how I know....

Ingwe.....I have one scouted out that will give you a run for the title this year. He MIGHT be a legal buck, but it doesn't matter, because have an antlerless tag (less than 3" antlers - nothing) and I've seen him on two occasions now.

Dang you T-Zone! That's just not fair! I know that just because I don't have a doe tag I'll be seeing dinks so small I'll have the turn the scope up to 9X just to make sure they're not chihuahua's!

I'll be in 178 the first weekend. We never used to even get doe tags there, now they pass em out like candy.

I guess I screwed up when I passed up a nub the other weekend!

I wish I could shoot a dink. But I guess the 6 pointer I saw last week will have to work.

Next week I will try for some sorta deer.

No worries Winnie...you have to get a great deal of experience and "mature" into hunting dinks!!!

Ingwe

Winnie....You shouldn't shoot dinks on your first couple years out. You have to work your way into it. Its a marathon, not a sprint.

You shoot that six pointer. Take lots of pictures and show them to us. I wish you luck.

ROR!

Ingwe
I guess it be years before I can have enough experience to shoot a dink.

I hope to see that 6 pointer and get him to go broadside for a few seconds.

Also thanks Tzone

Hang in there kid, dinking ain't easy

Winnie..it also helps to be old and fat so you dont want to climb the mountains anymore and drag down the big heavy boys...

But you need your share of non-dinks first...

Go get that six point!

Ingwe

Oh and ya gotta drag big ones for all the old guys when you are young too.

Basically everything heavy that hits the ground you gotta drag it no matter if you shot it or not. That's what young guys do.

Hey, wait a minute.... How come I'm still doin that chit?

Hey kid, you gotta remind yourself to stop all that free dragin when you get older

You shouldn't be draggin nuthin at Chicknebuck man...there is those two young boys, that 19 year old one looks like he could pull the cabin if we needed him to, and all those wimmin folk around there, jeesh, you wouldn't think we'd even haffta open our own beer.


oh crap.

I could haul a big deer out.

At least I know I can haul a hog to a truck.

I hit the range last week and saw a fella shooting a 700. Too bad his bolt fell off after the first shot.

Winnie:

Cut your teeth of the biggest deer you can "throw hands on".

Dedicated dink drilling takes much effort. Lots of scouting, frayed nerves, blurred vision, sore feet, etc. Only the real masters know that scouting for a place to shoot them close to the road on the uphill side of a steep one can be excruciatingly difficult and a very delicate task.

You are much too young to have to suffer these indignities.

Find the six pointer and shoot him well. Then post pics.

Thank you for the laugh Karnis.

That sounds way too hard for me.
