Fall 2007- Jan 2008 Coues Whitetail Buck Contest

Entry Fees & Prize Donations. There is no fee required to enter the contest. You may wish to donate a piece of hunting equipment to the prize packages.

Prize packages, and the number of places, will depend upon the number of prizes donated.

 

To enter your deer

Thanks Doug for coordinating the contest again this year.

 

I would like to request that those of you entering the contest make it as easy as you can on Doug by providing complete information as requested. He has to do a lot of organizing with all the people who enter and you can really help make things go smoothly by taking the time to make sure you included everything needed.

 

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing how everyone does!

Is there a section for women? My sister, dad and I will enter this and will donate money, all equipment we have is what we use

[Red Rabbit]

I just counted up entries and there are 62 people entered. Deadline is Oct 15 to enter, so don't let father time sneak past you.

We have some good prizes lined up this year already.

No, there isn't currently a separate section for women. That's something we might add in the future, but we have so few women coues deer hunters, that I am not sure we can do a separate section. So right now, women are more than welcome to enter the contest just as the guys do.

I was hoping for a girls section so that way my sister's chances of winning are superb but she'll have to show everyone what's up

[CouesWhitetail]

I hope she wins! If some of the ladies that killed monster bucks last year had entered the contest, they sure would have won some prizes.
