Your answer buck season for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an A Reindeer Calf and 1126sP

You all saying you couldn't find it, but i yahoo'd it and this was the most used one i found

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

PS - And obviously WI DNR has calculated that there are FAR too many does - they need A LOT of does taken out this year. If there are too many does and not enough bucks - the bucks go sterile and you get very few fawns in the spring. True story. That's why they regulate the taking of does and bucks. And adjust doe permits accordingly XD

high fives debi XD guess living in pa for ONCE paid off ?! XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm wrong about PA doe permits because of how you do things in WI? O.o giggles

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

quote: So it's still actually Buck Season - PA just changed around the dates when they give out (and one can use) a Doe Permit, in limited numbers. Standard hunting licenses are for bucks ONLY. You still need a hunting license AND a Doe Permit (antlerless deer permit) for anything but a buck. Wait until the years when there aren't enough does - it happens. Then all BUT bucks will be illegal again.

In Wisconsin where I live our hunting season ended on Sunday and we have what you call earn a buck...you have to shoot a doe before you can shoot a buck. So BlueGreenGrey you aren't correct when you say that.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well i guess i don't know my own home state and i cooked and made coffee for the hunters that was all saying it wrong..hmm It dont matter i will have a chance at the trivia prize later on

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's interesting to notice, that just whenever people lament about questions being unfair for non-locals or non native speakers I kind of see the least problems in arriving at the right answer through reading properly and thinking thoroughly - but every time those prizes lose their comparative rarity, because they're being reused...
I found hunting season, deer-hunting season, buck season, rifle season,... even bear season!!!
... and picked the right answer nevertheless

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of deer season for the trivia was incorrect.

grrr ;_; i so wanted that prize oh well

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Bleh, I didn't find a single reference to "buck season," only deer season and hunting season. I figured that deer was more specific than hunting. I thought for sure I was right XP I'm glad the prize will be reused, though =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Debi, are we back to the easy trivia? =P You said yesterday was the last one, because it was somewhat of a holiday..

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer buck season for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an A Reindeer Calf and 1126sP

I don't understand all the confusing. That one was ridiculously easy - it took me five minutes to get the answer.

This new one's pretty easy too

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

See what happens people when you are civil and mature? Your points get taken much more seriously. Thanks Debi - that is very kind of you.

I put bear season since I saw on the Pen Dept of Game (or what ever they call themselves; the official site) that this was the first day you could hunt bear. All the school calendars just said Local Holiday. What a sad reason to get out of school if you ask me. I grew up in the deep deep south and we didn't get out of school for huntin'. Somehow I don't feel so hick now!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

(Your answer buck season for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an A Reindeer Calf and 1126sP)
I was initially going to put deer season, but the word "specific" stopped me. I snooped around some hunting threads and all the hunters were having a big whoop about the start of "Buck Season" and on a recipe site people were sharing their memories about favourite ways to slice and dice their catch from "Buck Season". But I am glad DebiLee is going to reuse the little critter!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thank you Debi! thats very cool of you =)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of deer season for the trivia was incorrect.

Everywhere I looked it said deer season. Hopefully this trivia will be a learning experience.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

BlueGreenGray, how do Indeed a good opportunity to suggest that as a new possibility as sometimes things are ambiguous in these trivias. Thanks for the clarification though!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

GRUMBLE Grumble grumble grrr
resigned sigh

ok, i've recovered. stupid deer season.

thanks for the upcoming second shot at the prize, makes me feel like being grumbly is moot, and really, it's hard for me to be mad about not getting free stuff.

Wow, thanks, lady Debi

Now I can have another chance to get that pretty calf :3

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

a correction: i got mixed up with phrases again - i did go for 'deer season' not 'deer hunt'

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Erm, mallow - Trivias are judged right or wrong and prizes are awarded by a program, a script. That's why there is always ONE answer, and the tiniest of typos (even an accidental space before or after) gets it wrong. Debi never even SEES peoples' answers, and some say they answered funny stuff for Debi's amusement. The script can't handle more than one answer - but maybe that's something to suggest in the recode board? XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

ILU, DEBI. 8D Let's /keep/ it civil, guys. :3 Not saying you aren't, just reminding. o-o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I am a bit upset too. I did a little net search about this and found 4 phrases relevant to this trivia question: deer hunt, deer hunting, buck hunt and buck hunting. I went for deer hunt because the word 'deer' sounded, well say 'better' to me than 'buck' which has a more coloquial ring to it. Being not an American citizen and not living in America i am naturally aware that there are lots of other players like me on this site that are not acquainted with this phrase and can't possibly know which one of those phrases above, as found on the internet, are most commonly used and thusly having been chosen as the 'right' answer. So i strongly believe that this question should have allowed for more than one possible answer.

Not everyone lives in the states so how are they to know who changed what rules

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

wow I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that went for deer season - I thought I would be way off. The only things I could find on the net was 'Antler Deer Season' - so I couldn't understand why 2 words. Didn't find anything anywhere saying 'buck'

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

So it's still actually Buck Season - PA just changed around the dates when they give out (and one can use) a Doe Permit, in limited numbers. Standard hunting licenses are for bucks ONLY. You still need a hunting license AND a Doe Permit (antlerless deer permit) for anything but a buck. Wait until the years when there aren't enough does - it happens.

But let's all thank Debi - because people were civil, even in their anger and (righteous) frustration - she'll reuse the prize before Christmas XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

All the sites I looked at said deer season not Buck,Ah well someone always gets it RIGHT

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of sinkie day for the trivia was incorrect..

Hmmm.. going to look for the real answer.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of deer season for the trivia was incorrect.
Eh, oh well.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, It sucks that I missed the last one, even if it was obvious... but, I did find the new one.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yay! Thanks Debi.. another chance at the little guy! Lord I hope it is easier than the previous. hahaha

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And thank you Debi I wish I didn't take so long to type that last post. -shuts up about trivia now-

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

For the record, I'm not trying to argue, I'm just pointing out that I think both answers are correct. It matters very little in the long run, but I think people are totally justified in saying that the question was far too vague.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This trivia prize should be used again seen my brother still lives in Pa and still hunts deer

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You need a hunting license for bucks too, ok! You can't be exclusive like that. And I am sorry, if I am one of those people who pulled it off of a reasonable site like the actual Pennsylvania state site (and saw the same on Wikipedia, not that I'm saying you should trust wikipedia o.o). Bottom line is, the season for hunting does AND bucks started. Screw the restrictions on it. That'd be like saying "What holiday falls in December?" and then not accepting Hanukkah as an answer because you have to be Jewish in order for it to apply, and thus is not as widespread as something as commercial as Christmas.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was going to answer buck season, because in my state WV...the Monday before thanksgiving is the first day of buck season with a gun, but when I checked with PA's game commission it lists it as deer both anterless and antlered so I changed and went with deer season as buck would only be half right ...by the question stating be specific..I assumed...obviously incorrectly but never the less though it meant specific as to the species rather than say hunting season. This was a difficult question in that many sources googled or other wise point to 2 different acceptable answers while only one can be correct and it was only half right.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of deer hunting for the trivia was incorrect.

the site i went to called it deer hunting

o well

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The point that a few people are missing is that the Pennsylvania Game Commission CHANGED the rules on deer season in the year 2000. Until that time, bucks could be hunted for two weeks, followed by does for a period of 3 days. As of 2000, this was changed to a CONCURRENT firearms deer season that lasts for 2 weeks for BOTH antlered and anterless deer. You can download a PDF brochure at their website entitled "A New Tradition: Concurrent Seasons".

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i love you debilee!!!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of deer season for the trivia was incorrect.

Hmm. Okay that was a really bad trivia. Really. Let's stick to subeta related please

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thats really nice of you Debi. Lots of reasoning on this one, but not alot of mean-ness about it, so its cool you would do that.
Can you tell us how many got it tonight? I see alot of ppl asking, but didnt see a number yet, unless ive overlooked it somewhere.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm not sure why it matters if you need a permit or not, how does that change the fact that the season for both starts on the same day?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but your answer of buck day for the trivia was incorrect.

Thats not right I'm from Sayre and Athens,Pa and the school's call it Buck Day when its deer season

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Quote:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">BGG explained why it's buck and not deer a few times already

And SierraRaven explained why it's officially deer and not buck.

Sort of amuses me now to think of people complaining that this trivia was region-biased, then it turned out to be biased against the people living in the target region. Because anyone who actually lives here in grand Appalachia will tell you that DEER season begins the Monday after Thanksgiving.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

OH and I just wanted to add, I did put deer season but almost put in rifle-buck season to be most specific, but I figured that would be wrong.
But yeah, there are going to be a lot of really ticked off people when they see they got it wrong if they put in anything like that in for the answer.
I've seen it happen too many times on other sites. There is almost a mutany and for one so vaigue as this one, there will be lots of bad things said and thrown around.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I actually just copied and pasted part of the trivia into the Google search engine and the first result that came up said Deer Season.

I'm not complaining. Maybe I didn't search hard enough. But I guess Deer Season was a bit better than just Hunting Season? (Kidding!)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yes, you CAN ALSO shoot a doe (or antlerless) deer on Buck Day - IF you have a permit for it. The standard hunting license allows you to take Bucks only. Deer Season is too general. And it's not Doe Season If You Have A Permit. It's Buck Season.. or Does.. with permits.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

K, I was a little annoyed that I was wrong, but I didnt freak out as bad as a few people did. LoL. I love that little minion, but with so many people after it, it was bound to be pricey. Thanks for re-using it Debi.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is taken from the Pennsylvania Game Commission - State Wildlife Management Agency Home web page:

DEER (Antlered and Antlerless) Statewide: Nov. 26-Dec. 8. One antlered deer per hunting license year. An antlerless deer with each required antlerless license.

so if you want to be factual at least look at the official web site
