All deer entered must be from a valid participant in the corresponding contests. Members can enter the contests any time throughout the season, but contest entries will only be accepted if the deer entered is taken after the member's contest signup date. All entries must be submitted in the NJ Woods & Water 2023-2024 Deer Hunting Contest Teams and Entries topic All deer must be legally harvested in New Jersey. All entries must include the NJDFW Confirmation Number. Hunters may enter ONE buck. All deer must be submitted within 14 days after the season in which they were harvested ending, per the zone regulation set dates. Upgrades to existing entries are accepted per the submission guidelines and rules above. No limitations on the number of upgrades. Scoring: Buck Scoring: 10 points Plus the number of points 1" or longer without rounding up Plus their inside spread to nearest 1/2" Plus the longest tine on the left beam to nearest 1/2". Spikes count the entire length of left side to nearest 1/2". Plus the longest tine on the right beam to nearest 1/2". Spikes count the entire length of right side to nearest 1/2". Plus Picture Credit (see below) Scoring Credit System: Picture Scoring Credit: Picture of deer only: 2 point Picture of you with the deer: 4 points Picture of you with the deer and weapon used: 6 points Buck Point Credit Scoring: Measurement requirements: Minimum point length is 1" measured from the base of where the tine meets the beam. Rounding up measurement is not permitted in 1" requirement. Measure to the nearest 1/2" Example: 1.0" to 1.24" = 1.0" (Rounded down) 1.25" to 1.49" = 1.5" (Rounded up) 1.5" to 1.74" = 1.5" (Rounded down) 1.75" to 2.0" = 2.0" (Rounded up) A rigid or flexible tape may be used. Closeup photos of points not clearly visible or of questionable length must be provided if needed/requested by NJ Woods & Water admin/moderators. Please do your best, this rarely comes up as an issue. Spike bucks are considered to have only beams and therefore no tines and no qualifying tine measurements. However a spike with a left and right beam does qualify for spread measurements.

Awesome buck again Nick Nick has to use traditional equipment and shoot his opposite hand and all shots must be within 3 yards of him. That should make it harder for him nb6624 1
