Hurteau: Score More Bucks, Win A Bear Attack Bow
By Dave Hurteau
Buddyboy25 won our last rack-scoring contest and walked away with a brand new bow. And that’s great. But the rest of you walked away with nothing. And we—who are always thinking of you—just can’t stand it.
So we’re giving you another chance, and we have another great bow to give away. The Attack is Bear Archery’s brand new flagship model for 2010, boasting a top IBO speed of 340 fps, a 31-inch axle-to-axle length, a 7-inch brace height, and a retail price of $749.99. And it too can be yours. All you have to do is score some more bucks.
As with the last contest, I will post a picture of a buck each Friday, for one month. You will guess the gross B&C score of each and keep track of your guesses. On the last Friday, I’ll ask you for your grand total. Whoever is closest wins the bow. If there’s a tie, we will have a tiebreaker buck.
This time, however, to avoid some of the confusion we had in the previous contest, fractionals will count. I’ll say that again: Fractionals will count.
Also this time around, we have a theme. And the theme is: Field & Stream bucks. That is, bucks taken by F&S editors. Why are we tooting our own, er, horns? Simple. We can’t get enough of ourselves (and because the easiest way for me to pull together photos of good bucks whose gross scores aren’t public knowledge is to beg from my colleagues, which I haven’t quite gotten around to doing yet, so. . . )
We’ll start with one of mine—a main-frame 8 with a forked left G2 that I took a few years ago hunting with Scott Bestul. A few of you may have seen this buck before, but none of you knows it’s gross score. How can I be sure? Because I don’t know it’s gross score. (But I will.)
Okay, have at it.

I'm not sure if everyone is aware but you don't have to post your scores at each round. We will have to post the grand total of the 4 bucks in 4 weeks. Don't know if you want to share all your knowledge. Or you could use trickery.. I guess this one at 243 1/8..

Dave, That is a great buck. From the entry hole it appears he was almost directly beneath you when shot.

Okay, theyounggun and ADKHunter, I have some answers. Sorry to keep you waiting. According to our online editor, you must be at least 14 to win the bow. If you are under 18 and you win the contest, you'll need to have your parents contact us, and we will send the bow to them.
122" on the b&c
137 1/2
141 3/8
yes i made the cut
145 7/8
that bow is not very pretty, but I guess it doesn't matter if it can shoot.

This is all very hilarious to me. I plan on giving my final answer total. But, it would be interesting to see how many people stick to their initial guesses or see the score of someone they have faith in and try to get close to it without looking too suspicious. This is fun and I enjoyed the last contest. But, lets face it, you could jump in at the end and take a median of everyone's guesses and probably be just as close as anyone. Wouldn't it be a lot more fun if everyone held onto their guesses until the final post and gave a total??
nice buck 147 1/8
