Hunt Warz

Carbon Score: 7.5

This is the debut Hunt Warz first Rifle Mule Deer competition. This year we decided to take the competition to mule deer country way up in northern Utah. The weather is cooling down, and all of these hunters have spent the last few months doing what they can to prepare for high elevations and the physical condition they demand, all forms of weather that are typical to this part of the country, hunting a big game animal that because of its ability to hide in its natural habitat has earned its nickname, "The Gray Ghost," and last but not least an element that is, and has always been present in hunting, but is elevated to a whole new level within this show- COMPETITION. The athletes are in two-man teams, one spotter and one shooter, going head-to-head with 3 other teams. None of these teams have ever hunted or set foot in the unit. They will be hunting the same unit at the same time, facing the same weather, same rut conditions, and identical pressure, all placing them on an even playing field. They will be judged according to 3 metrics. The first will be gross inches of antler. We then take the animal's age, double it, and add it to the gross inches of antler. Finally we make a deduction for yardage when the animal was taken. 0-300 = no deduction, 301-400 = 10 point deduction, 401-500 = 20 point deduction, 501-600 = 30 point deduction, and 601+ = 40 point deduction. All hunters are asked to adhere to and exemplify the highest standards and ethics of sportsmanship while in the field. One of the rules of Hunt Warz is a strict "Draw Blood rule." If the hunter draws blood, that is their animal, and the must continue to hunt that animal for the remainder of the show unless otherwise determined by the officials. Special thanks to Leupold Optics for sponsoring and outfitting all athletes with optics to use on their hunts. Also, a big thanks to all the other Hunt Warz sponsors for making this show a possibility. Each will be listed below with a link; if you want to know more
