stevebeilgard Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 well, life has been a bit of a hassle lately. and now, i'm so far behind it might take me forever to catch up. so, i'll just quit.... we did 80% success with one or two not making p&y. i was waaaaay off on my estimates, for various reasons. anyway, i owe someone a hat. can anyone figgure out who that someone is, and i'll send it out. sorry, but i thought this might also make a pretty interesting thread..... now, let the battle begin:D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I pretty sure that would have been for me, I never made a guess but I just knew that was going to be the end result... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well one thing is for sure ... this should be an interesting thread lol ... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 i have no idea who guess what......for one we all guessed in several different threads. However if there is any of the Bucks for Buckee hats left I would love to buy one.....I'm sure others on here would too. But if there is none left then I am just jealous of those that have one :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Bucks for Buckee hats are deffinately sweet mines sitting on my desk ... I will never forget the trip ... Scott did an awesome job on the hats. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 The only reason it wasn't 100% was the dang rain, and we all know that. It definitely wasn't a bad call on your part Steve, ...we all know that now, just from being there. What an awesome hunt, and what awesome country.:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Don't remember what I guessed to be honest, and with the way the lounge threads are I cannot seem to find the post where I guessed. Would be interested in buying a hat though if there are some available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I smell an auction! I dont think and auction is right with the hat I think the hat should be something special for those that were able to make the trip ... if we are going to do something like an auction lets get a different hat I sorta like the idea of sharing something common with the ppl that went out to Wyoming. YMO Sorry just how I feel Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Back to the subject of the thread, It looks to me like Muff hit it just about dead on with going to say 80% success rate 75% P&Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Yeah, I'd say Muff was the closest wtnhunt - 1 out of every 4 actually closing the deal on a pope and young antelope. jjl7913 - 150% success with 82.765% P&Y bucks. ruttinbuc - 90 % on bucks with 100% on P&Y bucks texastrophies - 85% success rate, 67% of bucks P & Y VermontHunter - 90% success ,,, with 75% being P&Y Canuck2 - going to give it 110%, toddyboman - 100% success rate 90% P & Y buckee - 100% success rate 85% P&Y some does. Muff - 80% success rate 75% P&Y WHISKEYSWAMP - 100% success rate on bucks... 80% of those will be p&y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 I'll venture Jim was the closest. He did have the advantage of being there before. Frankly, it's stunning just how many legitimate P&Y antelope I saw! Jim mentioned that before on a post and he wasn't kidding. That first one Steve and I stalked up on may have indeed been a Booner. It was a tremendously massive antelope (Steve thought he had 6 1/2" cutters and that's HUGE he was a shooter based on that alone). When they get that heavy the mass measurements can outstrip horn length and contribute to more than half the total score. Antelope scores have 4 diameter measures and only two length measures (Horns and cutters). Big paddles and long cutters can make a very serious addition to final score. Whiskyswamp's antelope had serious mass and it wasn't the only one like that I saw. The antelope I got had 5 3/4" cutters and I know that it's no dink. I feel very fortunate I got to go on this hunt.
