Fantasy hunting league

[Nomad]

Last years was fun ,and although the seasons started , perhaps we could come up with one that starts idk maybe Oct 15 or so ? What are your thoughts ? Mine are for simplicity we pick a set number of hunters that we retain for the season , start date till end of ML ?

id also like guys to be able to pick themselves, plus idk 5 others ? 
 

Points , 1 for doe, one for a buck plus his antler points , seems off to me, I don’t think a 1 1/2 8pt is worth 9 doe , 3 for a doe 1 for a buck plus antler points ?

Maybe start with a list of guys willing to be picked ? So we know they’ll post their kills 

Just random thoughts , please share yours , I know zero about fantasy sports or how it’s done , help !

Count me in!

Thanks for starting something up. Was alot of fun last year.

I like to keep things simple like the 2:1 ratio but a dbl on the same day is extra points

Buck = 2pts

Doe = 1pt

Same day Dbl of buck and doe is 5 pts

2 doe is 4 points

 

Thoughts?

I think the easier this is to coordinate and manage, the better. 

Thoughts to consider:

for the points.. I like the idea of 2 or 3 for a doe, then 1+pts for a buck.. a doe and a spike would count the same in that case.. maybe deer total +1 if taken with a bow. The added challenge is worth an extra pt? 

for the season.. could start 10/15 through the end of the season.

A few more thoughts to work through..

For those playing along, is there anything we can come up with as a prize? On that note, how do we settle ties?

Are we keeping the same "team" all season? with total points adding up at the end.. Or are we picking who we play on any given week?

I liked the points system based on kills better. Why bother with picks every week? Whomever racks up the most wins.

Ya I wouldn’t do weekly picks, a set number plus yourself and it runs the season . Idk its difficult, some hunters crush deer every year , we’d all pick the same few guys , weekly does eliminate that, but it’s much more work . 
 

im at a loss

Agreed, weekly picks gets tough to coordinate and or remember who is hunting when.

The regional one was fun a few years back. Not sure who organized it. But the "pick 'em" pool was the best but a big PITA to run(thanks Robhuntandfish)

I am on another site and they do 5 points for a doe and a buck is also 5 plus one for each antler point. That seems pretty good. Weekly picks would be hard for whoever runs the contest. 

I am in for whatever.

Chef’s new site, ALREADY?

[Four Seasons]

Sounds interesting. Weekly picks and people lose interest I believe. Or life makes them miss a week and some are not on this site every day. Teams maybe drawn out of a hat for all the interested parties would be cool. Prizes would be tough for a team unless everyone agreed on a “Team Leader” and they got the prize for picking the best team. I would donate a set of cut off antlers in the 200in range if a prize list is set up.

I did the regional thing a few years ago and it was easy and kind of a team environment, we could even include past kills for the season in that if people wanted

I would donate a vacuum sealed frozen pack of chunked button buck (your choice of January 2022 or September 2021 kill).

Thanks Sarge.

I enjoyed the regional one 2 years ago, was casual and a good thread to read in the stand.

Headed in. First sit in this small partial. 50 degrees . 6 mph south wind which is good here. Blows my scent into a giant horse farm as I sit in a funnel. Good luck all.
