Title: 2013 Hunt-WA Horn Competition
Post by: Wea300mag on November 29, 2013, 08:10:33 AM
It's that time of year again, time to post up the best of the best.

2013 Horn Competition 

Rules:
1. Deer, Moose, Sheep, Goat, & Elk legally harvested during any open season in Washington from Sept 1 to Dec 31, 2013 may be entered
2. Washington Hunting License & Tags: A current WDFW hunting license and appropriate tag is required
3. Membership: Hunters entering the contest must be forum members prior to the start of the season in which the animal was harvested
4. Entries: The hunter must submit a story of the hunt, picture of the animal, general location where taken, and claimed score on hunting-washington.com. If either a Blacktail Deer or Roosevelt Elk are being entered, the location must be specific enough to distinguish what species/sub species of Deer or Elk it is.
5. Scoring System: The official B & C or P & Y scoring system will be used.
6. Winner Determination: The score that compares highest in percentage to the state record for that species, horn type (typical or non-typical), and weapon wins. For example, a modern firearm typical mule deer will be compared to the state record modern firearm typical mule deer and an archery net non-typical whitetail will be compared to the record archery net non-typical whitetail. There will be three different weapon categories; modern firearm, muzzleloader, and archery. Washington Big Game Records will be used as the state records.
7. Prizes: A perpetual (traveling) trophy will be awarded to the winner to keep for 11-1/2 months. Hopefully we can get a few gifts of nominal value donated by some of our sponsors.
8. Judge Discretion: Judges may challenge any entry. Judges may require the top entries to get an official score.
9. The entry deadline for the 2013 contest will be March 31, 2014. The hunter must be a hunting-washington.com member prior to Sept. 1 of the contest year.

Ok, I finally have some time to submit my entry for the competition. I will say I'm a little surprised there hasn't been any other entries yet, but so be it.
 I've already posted my story so I'll just post the link to it so I don't have to re type the story but I will post the pics and score sheet.
 My entry is a WA moose I killed on Oct. 30th 2013 in the 49 Degrees unit with my muzzle loader. His gross B&C score was 182 5/8 and net went 176 2/8!

Some beautiful animals but I'm not seeing many "horns" on here.  Just a lot of great looking antlers.   :tup:
