Being new to Fins and Furs I wanted to show my thanks for the warm welcome. I really enjoy this site and I like the atmosphere here.
That being said I want to have a little contest, very simple idea here. I posted a pic of the largest Pa buck that I've taken. A few weeks after the kill myself and a friend put the tape measure to it and filled out a P&Y form and came up with a score. This score does NOT count deductions, but I can tell you there wouldn't be many. Also it's possible the rack could have shrunk some after the measurment took place.
The score would have been figured to the 1/8 inch like P&Y does it. So all you have to do is take your one guess and be the closest score to win the contest. If there is a tie, (equally high and low of actural) the winner is the lower score. After the contest is over I will announce the score that I came up with and FinsnFur will announce the winner. Since this is his show he will settle any conflicts or problems and announce the winner. The contest will end on the last day of March at midnight.
Now the good stuff, the prize is for a brand new predator call that I came out with a few weeks ago, the lil Pekker.
Coppied from my website......... www.kettlecreekcalls.com
The lil Pekker
Perfect distressed woodpekker sounds everytime!
This is NOT just a coaxer call. The dual reeds create a fast and furious sound that will fool predators!
The lil Pekker is brand new for 2008. Utilizing the same quality standards and top of the line crystal clear acrylic as the Backstabber this innovative predator call is just the ticket for call shy predators. By tapping the rubber bellows on the lil Pekker on you leg, knee, gun stock, etc, you can make perfect woodpekker distress sounds everytime. The busy sound of the lil Pekker can be made so fast and furious it'll drive the predators crazy! You won't get out of breath and the lil Pekker won't freeze up. I challange you to find an easier, better sounding woodpekker distress call than this.
The Buck......

Hey guys Matt told me he got in trouble the other night for playing with his lil Pekker at the dinner table. :laf: :laf: :laf:
bootmud
He's not lying either........I did get in trouble.
Oh by the way, the following quote is straight from the Boot himself:
"Ok how bout this. Over the last couple of weeks I've been field testing the lil Pekker. I've been tapping my lil Pekker on just about everything. I ride down the road tapping my lil Pekker on the console jamming to music, I showed my father how to tap his lil Pekker. During the Mosquito Creek hunt I tapped my lil Pekker on my knee, leg, gun stock and once my lil Pekker even ended up in the snow and my hands were so cold I couldn't find it. Unfortunately I didn't call in any coyotes but as expected my lil Pekker didn't fail me."
He is not all the man he says he is!!!! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
You otta use that as a testicle :doh2: testimonial on your website!!! :roflmao: :roflmao:
:laf: :laf: :laf:
Matt, you're killing me here.
bootmud
Glad to make ya laugh!!!! You knew what you were in for when you named it!!
But anyway, this is a really nice call. Can't wait for fox season to come around. The reds should love this little guy!
I see that nite caller joined on here! Welcome!

Nelson
Way to go Bob and Bootmud thanks for giving your little pecker to Ohio Bob. I am sure that he will take care of it as if he has had one all his life. :eyebrownod: As for the score on the rack you posted you forgot to add the Ohio factor - which is, when scoring a rack, we add at least 5 points for each leg the animal has. Now if you are counting points (not actually scoring) each leg only counts for one. :wink:
Thanks for a "fun to watch" thread,
Jerry

And Thanks for all the Congrats Guys, and about the Flood, we have all open Roads out here now :yoyo: I was really gettin Tired of all the Blocked Roads, it hampered a lot of my Plans, now if we can just keep the Rain away, at least long enough for things to get back to Normal :bowingsmilie:
I just based all my Measurements off of the Ears, I have scored my own Heads and a few other Peoples Racks.
The Hardest to guess was the Circumfrence Wraps, but that is a nice Buck, and go out and get a BIGGER Buck This Fall :yoyo:
Thank You

I received the Call a few days ago and it is GREAT, I didn't let you know earlier because I had the Wife to the Emergency Room 3 times in 5 days, and then she was admitted for a 4 Day stay, so I am sorry about being so Late in saying Thank You
and Letting you know that I DID receive the Call from you.
The call is a great call and it works & sounds great, I like how it does not take hardly any Air or Movement at all in order to get a good Sound out of the Call, I will put it to Good use this Fall
Thanks Again
Bob
Bob,
Don't worry about it. I hope your wife is ok, family first everytime! I hope she is well now.
Glad you like the lil Pekker and I hope it helps put some fur in your truck next season. :yoyo:
