thank you! loves on Debi

Sorry, but if you wanted completely specific then you are wrong too. The correct answer there would be rifle-buck season with those two words hyphinated. That would be the most specific.
I'm not going to cry over the fact that I missed this one, but I do have to say it's not fair at all and this was a HORRIBLE trivia!!!
It would be easy to assume that when you said specific you ment deer season instead of just the general term hunting season.
But anyway you'll do whatever you want cause it's not our say how this game is played. I just wanted to point out that this one was really horrible and there are going to be a lot of ticked off players.

Since there is a general sense of civility and politeness in the opinions being expressed, even the negative ones , and, as I actually agree that there might be some confusion in non-English speaking countries to which deer and like animals are not native, while enough were actually won, it was still fewer than 1,000, so I'll re use this prize some time before Christmas.

"BGG explained why it's buck and not deer a few times already"

Well that is fine and good, but several people have also repeatedly pointed out what the actual gaming commission website says and it includes Does as well as Bucks...so..say it with me...deer season is correct as the answer unless you want to say the PA gaming commission doesn't know what they call their own day in their own state and what they are allowed to kill on said days.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, this is what I found when I searched :

November 28, 2005
SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, Pa. -- Today is the first day of buck season in Pennsylvania.

To search I used, date, Pa, hunting ...

How many people actually got it right?

How many people actually got this one right?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And YES - look at their bits! if you can't see antlers, and you don't have the right permit, DON'T shoot it. O.O!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Google or not....it's deer season in PA. It lasts for 2 weeks. The first 3 days you can take buck or doe, then for the remainder of the two weeks only buck. So it is DEER season

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Yeah Ariel, I was also on that exact wavelength.. unfortunately I answered the wrong question. I submitted Buck Day as my answer.. as that is what I thought it was asking.. the name of the first day of what.. bleh. ish sad

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Arg, damn.
I got the correct answer for the current trivia, too, and submitted it as a typo.
Lmao, looks like I'm going to have to buy the reptile too.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

BGG explained why it's buck and not deer a few times already

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

What happens? Sara - if you "accidentally" shoot a doe or antlerless deer without a permit - you can (and will) go to JAIL. HUGE fines, community service, probation.. it's Poaching! o.O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think bucks have antlers and deers dont? XD Or does dont :p

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

Oh well ... still got stuck on whether we were being asked what it was the first day of or what the monday holiday was. It seemed to ask both.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry, but I find the last trivia answer completely unfair.

A buck IS a deer. Buck season? So what happens if you shoot a Doe on accident? Are we supposed to look at their bits first to know what we're shooting at?

Silly people.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Funnily enough, the only site I found during my search that came up with "buck season" was a church site. o.O I dunno.

Oh, well.. the new trivia looks easy enough and is Subeta related.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

so much for the easy holiday trivias

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

But a buck is a deer T.T

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

All of the non-US residents who didn't get this one...don't feel bad. I live in Missouri and I got it wrong as well.(Deer season for the record). So, no, it wasn't a "if you live in the USA you will know this" type of question. We all used google just like you most likely did and most of us got it wrong too from what I am seeing. The question was just plain bad as it had multiple answers that were correct no matter how many times we were told to be specific...deer season was correct per the actual gaming commission of the state and rifle season would also have been correct. It was just a bad trivia in general...IMO.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

Noooo.
Looks like I'm going to have to buy the dang thing. Dx

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay... the site I went to said nothing about it being buck season, but antlered deer season. I guess I'm just retarded and a buck isn't a deer, apparently. o_o;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I went for buck, because that's a special deer (male) and therefore more "specific".
Off to find the cool items

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Also, this was a google-able answer. It doesn't matter where you live, you can google it. As you see, even plenty of Americans got it wrong.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You have to have a special permit to bring down a doe or antlerless deer, though. You only need a standard hunting license to shoot a buck on that day. That's why it's Buck, not Deer.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Okay, the only complaint that can't be made about this trivia is the region, EVERYONE has access to a search engine. Therefore fair game... like the bucks and the does in PA gigglefits again

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You feel cheated because you put the exact answer into google and it didn't work? Haha.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I found plenty sites that said Buck Season.

"Buck Day is the opening day of the rifle buck season in Pennsylvania; the Monday after Thanksgiving; many schools are closed; fathers and sons go to hunting camp"

http://www.startwright.com/york,pa.htm

That sent me on my specific "buck" search. I found plenty more that had that monday as Buck Day, which was the start of, dun dun dun, Buck Season!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Gah! I got another trivia wrong. That last one was just misleading. I looked all over and only saw the answer I put, which was deer season. I am unhappy, but I will survive. So what are the stats on this trivia?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

As a 20 year Pennsylvania resident, I have to agree with the facts (as stated in the posts below) that buck season is not the accurate name for the day. It definitely isn't what I know to be the most common name for it here.
Oh well...on to the next one. Subeta related. Easy. Pretty prize. Yay!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I put the question into google:

In the US, in the state of Pennsylvania, what somewhat unusual day is given off school every year as a holiday today, the first Monday after Thanksgiving: the first day of... what?

and came up with a a site saying deer season. I feel cheated.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

This is a quote from a local CBS affiliate TV station in Pennsylvania (WHP) for Nov. 26, 2007: "Close to a million Pennsylvania deer hunters were up before the sun Monday. Each was hoping to bag a buck or a doe on the first day of the two-week rifle season." http://www.whptv.com/news/local/story.aspx?content_id=38297287-20ce-4bed-b4ac-8901b9d4a130&rss=50

Notice the terms, "bag a buck or a doe".

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

By this logic, if buck season was the correct answer, doe season should've been an acceptable answer too. Because hunting of -both- started yesterday. So the answer should've been either buck season AND doe season, OR deer season. Not one or the other.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm sorry but that last trivia was unfair to all those of us who don't reside in the US. I'm in Australia and I don't know anyone who lives in that State of the US. Please don't ask such regionally specific questions in future.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

0-o'
wow..with all the research I did not a single thing came up about buck season.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Quote:

; border: 1px solid ; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;"> It did say be specific. It isn't the first day of the season for all types of deer, nor with all weapons. It's Buck Season. Alternatively, it's Antlered Deer Season, but that's too many words

Actually, according to the Pennsylvania Game Commission website, it's "Deer (Antlered and Antlerless)":

http://www.pgc.state.pa.us/pgc/cwp/view.asp?a=460&q=161003
DEER (Antlered and Antlerless) Statewide: Nov. 26-Dec. 8. One antlered deer per hunting license year. An antlerless deer with each required antlerless license.

Deer of despair gigglefits I you, Ginger

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'm glad I knew someone from PA.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

i had a feeling a lot of people picked deer season. i tried to mash together all the info that i got, and ended up picking the most specific (and seemingly generally used) answer. i've gotten these types of trivia wrong before, so i'm really sorry to all those who missed out. the www is a HUGE place to be looking for an answer to a trivia.
awesome job to who ever drew the cute little guy by the way!! My new fave item in all of subeta!

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

NOOOOO I WAS SO CLOSE!!! Cries

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

if I had won the deer of despair I would have named it Bambi in honor of it's mother - ok I'm letting it go =D

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

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

I spent an hour looking for it and that was the best i could find on google. cries I really really realy wanted that prize.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Fweh. Hunting season. XD So close, yet so far.

Ah well, next time. =]

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

And yeah, the prize was hilarious

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I know... A DEER AND 1126 sP for 11/26 XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I checked again. Clearfield school PA lists the day as "Deer Season holiday - no school today".

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Relax, i was just trying to lighten things up with a little .. hehe .. how ironic. I have no issue with kids being taught, properly. =) .. and, im in Mi as well. The whole family hunts. Except for me .. im a Lic. Vet Tech, I have that urge to run out and treat them. So, I stay away, far away.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I totally agree Ariel I had a good laugh too... too bad I'm not laughing now

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

but but but..... all the google pages said thanksgiving holiday cries

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I agree, there should be multiple acceptable answers for a trivia like this. I figured that by specific, it meant deer as opposed to hunting. I doubt most people would find that answer and think that they had to get more specific.
