Here's my entry. It's probably way too big, but I'm going to give Sakoluvr a run for his money. However, it looks like he might get extra points for killing a Piebald.

I got him Saturday night. I thought it was a doe. Only a couple of minutes of shooting time left and almost dark. Had a doe and a Bambie walking across the field at about 75 yards. I was getting ready to shoot her when another deer walks up from my right and about 25 yards. Didn't see the horns. I used the old "high shoulder shot" on his ass and folded him like a wet rag. Got down out of the tree and went over to him and about schit myself when I saw the horns. My wife told me I needed to get my eyes checked.

It's Early Muzzle Loader season right now. I use a 50 cal. 295 gr. Power Belt with three 50-50 Triple 7 pellets.

StoneCutter, I'd say the deer are huge by Dinkathon standards, but hopefully you'll have more opportunities. It can be competitive.


That Piebald has entirely too much brown on it..... grin

We have had burgers a few times. Roast Sunday night and then I cooked a couple of steaks on the grille tonight. Everything has been fantastic definetly better than whitetail and a little better then Elk I have always liked elk meat as well. I calculate that with what I have in the Moose meat im at $45 per pound. Kinda like caviar on the hoof. smile

My apologies. It was a total accident shooting it, so I had to post it anyhow.

I'm sure I'll screw up again this season and shoot a Bambie with buttons somewhere along the line. He'll be in the wrong place at the wrong time when I'm in the wrong mood.

Against my better judgement, I will play.

Day before coming home after chasing elk this year (ate that tag) and deer (the 4point put the slip on me again) I took this 3point running with the 4point. Hanging weight of 89lb, but guessing some of that due to what he was packing around in his tailbone for a year.

Giving somebody the benefit of doubt, I hope it turned just at release. Very surprised that it didn't hit a spec of flesh. As to being a monster, my brother took a 2point that weighed in 30lb more than my 3point. The thing was fatter than I am.

Yes, this has gotten entirely out of hand. This ain't "Monster bucks are us" by any means, and you guys keep posting these huge bucks with 6" antlers.

I did it one time. It was a doe with a Bambie walked under and past me. She was walking away from me, so I had a narrow lane to hit the boiler room. So because I suck, I was a little off to the left and got her in the ass. I had a sick feeling as I watched her run away with an arrow sticking out of her ass. Those are the types of hunts I'd like to forget.

As far as the Dink-a-thon goes, I'm going out tonight and tomorrow, so maybe I'll screw up and shoot one.

Let's bring this one back to the top.

OK, Dinksters, I am about to enter the fray. I have to work Friday, and will probably be busy till about 0200 Saturday, so I will only get in half a day Saturday, but the whole day Sunday.

That should be enough time to rip this competition to shreds.

Rifle zeroed--check
Equipment good to go--check
Plenty of ammo--check
Treestand in good shape--check
New can of white rustoleum--check......+

It's really hard here in the TransBluegrass to come up with a dink worthy of entry. If you have any tips you could pass on, I'd appreciate it.

Best of luck. I hope I can have something for you next year.

Sir, you missed one obvious and glaring flaw in your simple plan. I see no mention of bribe material. Many others have dilligently greased Poobah's hand by now. Heck, at this point you'll need three blondes with enormous racks, four brunettes, one redhead, all equally endowed. a truckload of whiskey, enough beer to fill a large pond, and then more whiskey and beer.

You really will need to step up your game here sir.

The Poob's can't be bought-cheaply!

I'm sorry you have that problem. It manifests itself here, also, with an occasional inferior dink showing up, so we quickly take them out of the gene pool so as the keep the racks where they should be....at the hairline.

Posted By: shaman Re: The 2016 Dink-a-thon. - 11/18/16
Well, there are rules and there are rules. As I understand it, this is a contest where the winner is the guy who enters the buck with the shortest rack, right? A 4 inch spike is probably out of the running. A button buck is a bit too small.

Ingwe is the final judge. He decides who wins and loses. You have to convince him or else there isn't even an entry, let alone an honorable mention.

All this can be moderated by bribes to the Poobs. He's not going to allow a blantant doe or a 10-point rack as the winner, but if you submit your 2-inch spike and include the right whiskey as a bribe, you might get in the running.

Is this correct, or am I missing something? I have to say, I've not been really attentive. To date, I've made only one entry. It was a six inch forker, that I accidentally shot a couple of years ago. I got an honorable mention for the hat I was wearing. That is the extent of my experience with the contest. Normally, the bucks we take are in the hatrack-to-chandelier variety. Factory 30-06 ammo bounces off.

Shaman, while your understanding of this time honored contest is fairly accurate, it leads to concern that you are under the impression that "bribes" are necessary to get a favorable score from Poobah. It also concernes me that you believe mere whiskey is an adequate source of compensation. Please consider the tenuous situation the Grand Poobah is in while scrutinizing all these entries. It tends to make one very thirsty. We're talking VERY thirsty here. Mere whiskey is not enough. Voluminous amounts of beer are also needed to slake his thirst. We're talking semi trailer loads here. Also, while he's isolated in his lair pouring over all the entries, female companionship is quite appreciated. So please keep this in mind as you consider what gratuities to bestow upon the Poobs. Along with your entry, please remit increased ammounts of alocohol, and the entire Swedish Performance Bikini Team. In lieu of that, simple cash will work too............

OK: seldom do I give a fellow 24HCF member or a contestant in the Dinkathon an honest dressing down but seriously, you need to reconsider this whole dink hunting thing, and this Hallowed Contest.
First a 6mm isn't even close to stunt shooting... true Stunt shooters fart in your general direction!
Second: The deer is too big to begin with, then for your to attempt to cheat by breaking off one of those massive antlers...sheesh. For that to get by the Poobah would take extra special bribes...

I hope you have another tag so you can go try again, and get serious this time!

I have drawn blood this year, but nothing worthy of mention here.


I'm trying....my best effort so far has been a spike, but each side was at least 7" long, so that's FAR too large of a set of antlers. And it was a rather large-bodied deer.


Mr. DeGeorge seems to have gotten the formula down pat, and kudos for using a cannon for your kill. I am of the mind (what little I have) that there ought to be a category for the least amount of weight between deer and bullet, but that's because I will shoot a deer with a .45-70 and a one-ounce bullet.

Kudos also to those in the running. I see I have to be better at buying a good quality bribe.......and sending it to the judge instead of trying it out myself.

Posted By: Vic_in_Va Re: The 2016 Dink-a-thon. - 12/04/16
It seems I have not been able to be very competitive this year......I think we've shot the serious dinks out.

Despite my best efforts, here is about all I've done...so far.

I caught this fellow in the field on Friday after T-day, busy feeding, and waited until legal time to shoot. I was on my way to a stand, but dropped my pack and watched him. Boom, out went the lights. It's a spike, but way too spikey for this Top-Tier group.

[Linked Image]

The bullet went in on the other side, but his body angle meant a raking shot, and yes, it did nick the paunch....yuck.

After that, I didn't have a shot until yesterday. Hard to shoot deer at the house, I reckon. My buddy Charlie and I had went afield a couple of times, but nothing seemed to be happening, at least for me.

Until yesterday.

I decided that since it was Saturday, and the Hunt clubs on the adjoining properties were going to be out in force, I'd sit in a stand. We don't use dogs or drive on our little patch of land, so ambushing the access points would seem to work.

It did.

I got busted in the dark on my way to my stand site, and that got me enthused for the possibilities for the day. By full light, I was up in a tree and ready to go.

I heard 4-wheelers moving about 0730. The whooping and hollering started across the river about 0800(actually a large creek, easily crossed by wading) and moved towards where I had heard the 4-wheelers stop. This went on for some time, some amount of shooting in the distance but nothing close by.

So I figured I'd change tactics.

I let my guard down, becoming totally not ready to shoot, with my rifle resting at my side. I began to play around with my gps to keep me entertained. Then:

I heard a snap, looked down, and two bucks were walking towards me. 15 seconds later both were on the ground.

[Linked Image]

The old guy in the lead got it first. Good heart shot and he pumped blood like he had an unlimited supply. That blood all over the belly is from the pumpage.

[Linked Image]

I knew it was a good shot, so I immediately focused on Junior. Apparently, he was a sucker for a bleat, because that stopped him in his tracks. My .308 dropped him in his tracks.

[Linked Image]

I shot him from behind in the center of the back, so he dropped instantly. I hadn't seen where the other one went, but he wasn't hard to find....He's the white spot in the center-top of the pic.

[Linked Image]

I am probably losing credibility as a dink-shooter, but I'm rooting for Jwalls' grandson anyway.

The group I hunt with (Four of us) has decided I get Barney Fife status....I am only allowed one bullet.
Posted By: ingwe Re: The 2016 Dink-a-thon. - 12/04/16
Well...I gotta say at least you made an effort. And you are doing good at hiding your shame over such a crushing loss....

Keep your chin up and your upper lip from quivering. There are no Participation Trophies in the Dinkathon!

Alright, I didn't shoot the first one because it was 35 lbs. and probably didn't have anything above the hair. I didn't shoot the second one I saw. It was pretty much dark and a torrential downpour.

So I shot the third one I saw. He's bigger than the first Dink I posted, as well as most of the other Dinks posted here. So I'm posting this so that I might be the loser of this fine competition.

[Linked Image]

Junk. As you can see, he is well endowed. This should definitely qualify him for loser status.

Plus, I was using a Bubba Buddy. This gives extra points as a loser as well.
Posted By: ingwe Re: The 2016 Dink-a-thon. - 12/05/16
Great junk shot! The horns have character but as you know are wayyyyyy too big. The Bubba Buddy, especially on a single shot is grounds for immediate dismissal from the contest.

First off Vic:

Congrats & Way to go on the "Double UP" ! ! ! I've done that but it's been a while. Now that I hunt mostly alone, I'm not interested in recovering & cleaning 2 at a time.

I really like that BLOOD TRAIL. I've seen BTs similar and 1 of them Ray Charles could have followed by feel. I shot it low in the ribs with a 12 GAUGE SLUG.>>lotsablood!!

Thank you very much for considering my Grandson but honestly the "Clete" buck beat him out. <I know Cleat is spelled C L E A T-- but Clete is more personal.

Ok, we're in. There's a lot going on in this picture, not that I think anything would escape the Poobah but for the rest of the folks, a couple points to consider:

1.Clearly dinks. Two of them, for an ultimate feat. Especially the one on the left.

2. We're not children. Any deer is a trophy to a kid. When I was twelve, I dreamt of the glory of bagging a spike for honor and for food. Killing deer puts hair on your ass, as everyone knows. Now in our 30's, our asses are as hairy as these deer but did that stop us? Clearly it did not. There was good Bourbon at stake and that's serious business.

3. We looked at that little bastard on the left for a solid 5 minutes, and at a staggering distance of 114 yards, with Leica 10-42's before we were sure enough to kill it that it was in fact a spike. I argued with my brother who was saying "I think it's a spike, hard to tell if it's antlers or grass behind it's head." "It's clearly a fawn" I replied back. "Gimme them binos. Damn, those look like spikes. But it might be grass."

4. Trophy pics. Everyone knows trophy pics like this makes the deer look twice as big as it actually is. Let that sink in. We posed like heroes because that's what we are, but at the price of our dinks looking like run-of-the-mill dinks instead of the paltry dinks that they truly are.

5. These are Coues whitetail. They are a miniature deer. Their ears probably measure 5 inches. See point #4.

6. Notice the mutton chops. That guy can drink whiskey without ice or water. Nothing wasted on these winners.

Joe, I noticed in your sig line the "Remember Ira Hayes". Have you seen the new special, "The Unknown flag raiser of Iwo Jima" and the questioning of identity of one of the participants?

It seems as though one was misidentified as John Bradley, and now Harold Schultz is being credited as that individual.

Ira Hayes went through a lot before he even got to Iwo. And, a lot after.

What happened is that participation in this esteemed competition has risen to the level that dinks are becoming the modern-day buffalo. They are simply being shot out.

If present trends continue, you'll be hard-pressed to shoot a sub-130 buck. A 1" spike will make national news.

In anticipation of this occurrence, I have invested in Blanton's, Rebecca Creek, and Livers-R-Us, sensing this will become a bribing game....

One possibility I see is the poobs being so inundated with entries (bribes) that he occasionally has to walk to the convenience store just to take a break....

Yeah, we debated this over a couple !

Our definition of antlerless deer, is a deer with less than 3" antler per side. An antlerless male deer is usually a yearling. This deer was at least 1 & 1/2 years old.

In the end, if checked, I would have no way of proving that he had had less than 3" per side before shedding, so did the ethical thing & used my buck tag.

I value my/our hunting privileges too much, to risk loosing my licence for 12 - 24 months !

I agree on the hunting privileges....

A Serious ? Do the regulations SAY anything about BEFORE shedding ?

Everywhere things are different.... In Ark my buck was 'antlerless'. No antlers visible, impossible to measure what's NOT there.

After I shot the deer I PUT the barrel there to help me LRF. Then it was helpful to prop the head against for the pic.

That barrel had a bunch of holes in the bottom so I tried to seal it with JB WELD. There were still pin holes so I gave up. I actually NEVER read the labeling on the barrel. My Dad used it for something, I don't know what.

Anyway here's another pic from where I shot.

No, I wasn't entering the 'dinkathon'. I never considered it. He is gargantuan compared to bona fide dinks.

That s the one that started the Ruger #1 .303 Brit craze, the one that I had Leeper build with suggestive input from the Campfire peanut gallery !
it is actually a #3 but pretty much unrecognizable a such, half round, half octagon 27" McGowan tube with the rib milled right in.
Kepplinger trigger and NECG express sights as well as QD mounts for the 6X Leupy
Love that rifle!

Hey - W C H, can you help me out?
I can't find YOUR pic..you know the one.

WyoCoyoteHunter
I have had 2 .300 Rums with Douglas barrels .. The only benefit of having one is to have a longer than normal barrel.. Mine had 28.5 " barrels.. They shot super fast, but not enough in a 26" to merit having one.. I gave my .300 WSM to my name sake.. I still have a couple old .300 WM.. Stick with the WSM, or a WM.. The ULtra is cool if you want a super long range rig with a long barrel... But for elk hunting you have a fine rifle.. Check its drop to 500 yards and hunt your heart out.. I would guess you won't have to fool with turrets, sight in 3" high and you can kill an elk at 500. I haven't shot an elk at long range since I quit working 17 years ago.. Then, elk meat was important.. Now it is a treat.. If I get one fine, if not fine.. Enjoy your hunt..


Jerry
Not sure what [Linked Image]you want!!!

Thanks you WCH. I looked hard for that pic.

Now Back to Regular Programing.

Monday starts 3 days MORE of modern gun season followed immediately by 3 days MORE of Mzl season.

I'm really torn as to where to hunt. I want to see/find/kill that 'other' inferior buck around me here. However I may not ever see him this year.

There are many more deer around my Uncle's place. The thing is I'm not seeing deer during day time here. Sooo.

Good Luck to all that have hunting seasons continuing.

Jerry
Glad we found the photo..

Best of luck in the hunt.. Our hunts come early, then we have to sit by and watch others have all the fun... Get another freak head, those are cool..

We are enjoying the Az.. sunshine.. Quail and doves are pretty wild, but the weather is warm and sunny.. All too soon we will have to head north to the cold weather and coyotes!!! Have a Merry Christmas, and best of luck on the hunts..
Posted By: jwall Re: The 2016 Dink-a-thon. - 12/23/16
W C H

I used to bird, quail, hunt w/pointers and thoroughly enjoyed it. However people/things change. We don't have many quail locally because land owners haven't left sufficient cover/food for them.

I squirrel hunt w/22 rifle or Ruger Mk II Target 6 7/8". After deer season and I unwind I plan to bag some 'squill' as Digital Dan says. Our squirrel season is open 'most' of the year. I don't hunt them any 'atall' in very warm WX. Ticks aren't worth the squill.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and

ALL.


Jerry
Thanks.. You will have to come shoot an antelope sometime.
Posted By: jwall Re: The 2016 Dink-a-thon. - 12/23/16
That's RIGHT DOWN my alley. I could thoroughly eat that up.

Might be a Christmas Dream!!

Is a 300 WM stout enuff for Pronghorn ? smirk
laugh laugh

Really, I have a 6mm Rem I'd love to shoot a Speed Goat using.
Thanks for the thot.

Jerry

ps: IF I had feral hogs I'd be busting them and gladly have help.
the 6mm would work.. But I like a heavier bullet for days of real wind.. The best shot I ever saw on antelope was made with a .300 WM..Most calibers work, some just work better under difficult conditions..
Posted By: jwall Re: The 2016 Dink-a-thon. - 12/26/16
I have killed WT, coyotes, fox, & crows with this Rem M Six, 6mm Rem. Here, we have such a long deer season I don't have to hunt WT in high wind. I have but it's not my fav condition.

When Antelope hunting I understand sometimes you don't have much choice IF you're going to hunt, because of your length of trip.

I also like the 7 RM w/162 HBTSP and

the 300 WM with EITHER 180 HSP or 190 HBTSP. I don't remember if I have any 190s left or not. The last I heard Hornady was discontinuing them.

Of course there is always the JOC, a known performer on a lot of game. I ain't ashamed. grin

I don't know what to say but thanks to the Judge(we'll settle up in hogville)Thanks to all the big deer that eluded me and thanks to this dink for making me famous!
Victory at ineptitude is still victory none the less!

My advise to everyone is try less hard next year
Sit in the most sincere treestand or blind and the 'great dinkin" may visit you
Thanks Ingwe - 2nd Place - Amongst a crowd.

I'll let my Grandson know today after school. He will be 'pickled tink'. grin
Appreciate it.

How about the undinkiest dink?

If ineptitude manifests itself in this contest, I should sweep it year after year

Congrats to Mr. DeGeorge, and especially to JWall's Grandson!

Next year, I shall shoot a deer named "Nubby Holmes". Nub antlers and, well, you know...also known as the only "mule" deer in VA..


It's been fun, congrats to the winners, may the Judge be incoherent for months, and see y'all next year.

Just piss in it. That'll fill it back up, and the Pervbah won't know (or complain) about the difference.
