Are you taking this bet?

[Schoolhousegrizz]

How many of you out there would take this bet. Here is the scenario:

You can choose any general deer tag or OTC tag in the West that takes 4 points or less to ensure 100% draw odds.

The minimum bet is $4,000

You have to come out with a 170 + buck. If you do you win that amount, if you don't you lose that amount.

How many think they can get this done? How much are you betting?

I personally would still not take this bet, but by part 4 (coming soon), I may take it

Public land DIY only

If you choose your state you're a resident, if you choose another state you're a non-resident.

Interesting bet. Let us know if you do it.

I'd take it every day of of the week 170+ gross. Amount ...4-5x the minimum. honestly probably more.

IF I get to hunt the entire season.

It's getting close for me, still too risky. I would actually probably never take a bet like this, it's just a fun hypothetical. It may ruin the hunt.

No way, I'm too trigger happy.

 

[Scoot]

No chance. I enjoy the hunt. That would totally wreck the hunt for me. I'd feel too much pressure to win the bet. Plus I only bowhunt, which would make it tougher...

 

[Billy Goat]

Is that 4k in addition to the cost of the hunt?



Cause it's sounding like what you gamble on a hunt coming from the east.

 

[Rotnguns]

I would not take that bet. Would rather just enjoy the hunt and shoot the first legal deer I see within my humane shot range of 300 yards or less, as long as it's not really little.

 

[5MilesBack]

For deer.......NO. For elk, if you made it 270"+ and everything else the same, I'd take that bet.

 

[cjdewese]

I haven't even seen a 170+ buck. May have a heart attack before given the opportunity to shoot it.

 

[cb2176]

Nope

 

[MNGrouser]

No way. I don't think about an animal's score while I'm hunting nor would I want to. That much money on the line, I think I'd think of little else.

 

[doc holiday13]

If you've never shot a 170 class deer, then you shouldn't take that bet. Judging in the field is harder than most realize. I also don't have enough western hunting under belt to know if thats a bet worth taking

 

[Jason Snyder]

Absolutely not because antler score is a meaningless statistic to me, and has little to no bearing on the quality of experience and memory of the hunt.

 

[Hnthrdr]

Ehhhh that’s tough man. I know some spots that can hold big bucks I don’t know any that do that every year…

 

[saskhunter]

Can we ask some serious questions please?

Are hotdogs sandwiches?

Do you drink or eat soup?

Is cereal soup?

Is the Kool Aid man the pitcher or the juice?
