2009-2010 Handgun Challenge Sign-up Sheet!

[Handgunner]

Please only use this thread if you're "in". It'll be an easy way to keep up with all that want to play this year. :bounce:

The rules are as follows:

*Members must show what weapon they'll be using prior to the opener of gun season.

*Any member taking a deer with their handgun, must attach a picture of that deer, with them and their handgun in the picture. A kill submission must be posted within 5 days of the kill - no exceptions.

Scoring will be this. All does will score as 10 points. All bucks will score as 5 points, plus the number of points x 2. (i.e. a 4 point buck would score 13 points, a 6 point buck will score 17 points, etc...). I want to do it this way to discourage people from shooting small bucks to just "score" when a doe will score just as well. The bigger the buck you hold out for, the better your score will be. Take does to rack up a score.

Teams will be consisted of either 2 or 3 members depending on how many are going to participate.



Teams will be drawn from a hat. The sign-up deadline is Oct. 1st. Each time we get 10 members saying "I'm in", I'll PM them my address so that they can mail me their entry fee. Each member replying with "I'm in" I'll add their name, in red, to the "Folks that are participating". Once I have received their entry fee, I'll change their name under the "Folks that are participating" heading to green - which will show their money has been received and that they are good to go. At the end of the deadline, all paid members names will be put into a hat and names drawn for teams. Teams will be announced shortly after the deadline.

As for prizes. Each participant will pay an entry fee of $20. After all have paid, I'll put the money back and split it on a Cabela's Gift Certificate to each winning team-mate. Or, a money order -- whichever is preferred.

Donated prizes so far are as follows:

* HandgunHTR is donating an Apex Predator Holster Harness for biggest buck.

* 11P&YBOWHUNTER is donating a Cabela's 4.5-14x50mm Alaskan Scope to the member who shoots the most adult does.

* Will-dawg is donating a .50 caliber CVA Buckhorn Magnum muzzleloader topped with a Redhead 4x scope as a participation prize. Once all paid contestants have been named, one name will be pulled out of the hat to receive this prize.

* Apex Predator has donated a red-dot site for a participation prize!

* F14Gunner has donated six 10-n-1 tools for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams!

* Special K had donated a Leatherman BLAST multi-tool for the first buck entered with 3 points on one side, 1" and longer.


I'll also try and round up more prizes and donations for additional prizes. If anyone participating has something laying around the house they no longer need or use, and want to offer it up as a prize, thank you. It will be appreciated. Last year we had quite a few nice donations!

I don't want this to be a headache, but rather a fun little challenge to get more involved with handgun hunting. I know it's easy as pie to cheat in this, as anyone can take a deer with a rifle, and then add in the handgun, but I'd also like to think most here are honest and aren't taking this challenge THAT seriously enough to want to cheat at it.

It's just for fun.

Best of luck everyone!

Folks, special K and his son have been a "team" since the start of this challenge. He pays 2 entry fees so that he and his son are covered.

If anyone has a problem with it, please voice your concerns. If not, he and his son will be a team, and others will be drawn.

Every time I see you and others post up some Contenders or Encores, I get an itch...

Someday in the hopefully near future, I'm gonna scratch it! :bounce:

Hate I missed your call the other day!

[Handgunner]

S&W 629 Classic - 44. rem. mag. - topped with a Bushnell Elite 3200 2x6.

Uh-oh, we're in trouble now!

Welcome aboard bowhntr!

As for being my partner, I am going to let Handgunner choose teams by pulling names from the hat. I wouldn't want to hamstring you by having to partner with me. ;)

We should get together sometime this year though. My new lease is pretty durn close to you.

Me and my son intend to join in and we do not have to be on the same team...however we have no problem being a team and it might be more fair to others. Neither of us has killed a deer and we are relegated to public land.

I have aquired another Ruger Old Army and a 50 call caplock pistol, have no pictures as yet but I will post them.

From top to bottom - 7 1/2" Redhawk in 44mag, 6 1/2" Blackhawk in 41mag, 4" S&W 28-2 in 357mag, and 5 1/2" Redhawk in 41mag. I, most likely, will not use the 357, as I prefer the bigger guns for hunting. I just put it in the pic, in case I get a wild hair.

Folks, tv-racing-fan and his son want to join in the challenge as a team, like special K and his son... Tv-racing-fan's son is 21 years old and not a member here. Any objections to them sending in $40 for an entry fee, and being a team, with other teams being drawn?

If so, speak now please.

[Forkhorn]

Nothing wrong with that.

I dunno about this year...the few good ones i seen around here are either eating out of my bird feeder or on the neighboring property which i can not hunt on....shooting one over any bait (bird seed) would not be something i would do.

[HandgunHTR]

I thought bird food was bird bait, not deer bait. :huh: :shoot:

As for being on the neighbors property, a Contender .300 Whisper with a can works well for neighborhood deer control. :biggrin2:

[Handgunner]

[ATLRoach]

Delton any mail from me yet?

[Handgunner]

Delton any mail from me yet?
Got it today, Kyle. Thanks!!! You're good to go!

[specialk]

I've got a new Leatherman BLAST multi-tool that will go to the individual who posts the first buck with at least 3 points on one side that is an inch long or longer.

[rwg]

I'm in also. I don't take many deer but this looks like lots of fun. I will most likely be using my 338 Encore the one I'm shooting in my avatar. I might use the 300 Encore seen on the table in the avatar. I will try to post pics of the other 2 I might use a 44 Ruger Bisely or a 44 Ruger Super Redhawk.

Everyone that's participating, please take a look at the first post. If your name is not in Green, I have not received your money.

The deadline is this Thursday, October the 1st, so please send it in if you want to play along.

[11P&YBOWHUNTER]

Well, today is the day...For those who are in....good luck, and for those who are not,...tough luck!! :)

[HandgunHTR]

So, when is the drawing for teams?

I want to know who I will be handicapping this year! :smash:

[Handgunner]

rwg and tv_racing_fan, I got your checks yesterday and today. Y'all are in and good luck!!!

Well, the deadline is here. I'll either announce teams tonight, or tommorow. We can do it like last year, start thinking of names if you want your team to have a name, aside from "Team # ___".

If your name is not in the green list, I did not get a check from you, so maybe next year.

For all those that joined and are participating, thanks and I'm lookin' forward to it!!!

Good luck everyone!

[Handgunner]

Ok, teams have been announced. But there is a problem. Davidf does not have a partner.

oh btw I'm in get pics asap [camera is missing!]

Wyat Earp, I did not receive your check. If you still want in, I'll need your entry fee ASAP. If not, we'll either have to triple one team up, or have another member join.

I'll give 2 days for a response, if nothing by then, I'll do like last year, and the first PM I get from someone saying "I'm in" that guarantee's me an entry fee, will be davidf's partner. Or, like I said earlier, we'll add him to another team. Whichever y'all prefer.

Good luck everyone!

[davidf]

Went to my lease in Wilkinson Cnty 2 weeks ago and put in some food plots . We got rain the night we put them in so things should be looking good by now . We put in 4 food plots and we have a great amount of tracks and buck sign where we put our food plots . Cant wait to spill some blood on one of these plots.

And if you don't hit them with the bullet, you can probably bet they will die from the heat of the flame coming out of that cannon!

Sorry about that never had this happen before. Put them all on another web-site and they were all in the normal frame stacked one on top another.

[bowhntr]

Why is the hole thread and not just my thread all spread out ? I fixed the problem with the pix being so wide . Everything back to normal

That would require me to be able to do something other than hit "Quote" and "Submit Reply".

Got a new piece to take with me! Not mine exactly, but on loan from my uncle (thanks redlevel :) ). Ruger Blackhawk three screw .45 LC with 7 1/2 barrel. I was about to buy another 44 mag Blackhawk (traded my other one last year after deer season) for this season. I was really looking for a 45, and he convinced me that I wouldn't be happy with another 44. He offered to let me use his until I could find what I was looking for. I feel honored that he is letting me use it...he has a ton of revolvers and this is his baby. He bought it brand new in 1973. I'm just worried that I won't be able to pull the hammer back on a pine goat without getting busted. Those old three screws have a distinctive sound.....CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK!
