Title: 2015 Hunt-WA Horn Competition
Post by: Wea300mag on August 23, 2015, 07:56:54 PM: Just in time for the start of the 2015 horned critters season:

Rules:
1. Deer, Moose, Sheep, Goat, & Elk legally harvested during any open season in Washington from Sept 1 to Dec 31, 2015 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 the species/sub species.
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.
8. Judges Discretion: Judges may challenge any entry which could require the top entries to get an official score.
9. The entry deadline for the 2015 contest will be March 31, 2016.

Post by: Bullseye108 on February 26, 2016, 07:38:22 PM: We have eaten a lot of the meat, have a few packages of steaks left. Its very good. Can't bring myself to eat the last few steaks since it is very likely I will never have bighorn meat again.

Post by: Wea300mag on April 05, 2016, 06:51:12 PM: In the most competitive contest in the history of Hunt-WA, Bullseye wins by a hair. I wish we had (4) traveling trophies because each entry is deserving.

Bullseye Rifle Cali Sheep 183-2/8" divided by record of 190-6/8"=96.07%
bowtech Rifle Goat 51-4/8" divided by record of 54-2/8"=94.93%
Shanevg Archery Western Blacktail 136-3/8" divided by record of 145-5/8"=93.65%
lokidog Muzzy Cali Sheep 160-5/8" divided by record of 179-7/8"=89.30%

I'll have the trophy updated and delivered to Bullseye in the next couple weeks.

Congratulations to all of you on your great animals. :tup:
