Long ago, on a Ducksouth thread lived the tale of the Damn It_Boy’s infamous “126 inch” deer. Or so he believed it to be… The story all got started when DIB posted a picture of himself with a deer he had recently killed asking fellow Ducksouth members to score it. This was followed with very average scores from other members. DIB however, began spouting off his own calculations along with a few jibs and jabs at other members along the way. The story that continued was what turned out to eventually lead to DIB’s removal from Ducksouth all together and a very interesting thread to read for everyone else to read.

As DIB began receiving his scores back on his deer following his original post, to say he was not happy to hear numbers ranging from 108-125 is putting it mildly. Users, all with good intentions, began questioning DIB on how he scored his newly shot buck and asking more in depth about his scoring numbers. As DIB spat back his defenses, thrown in with numerous low blow jokes, a decision was finally made to hold a public scoring event with a professional scorer; all of course with bets on the table with how the deer would score. As the bets rolled in, DIB’s talk went up. A night for the scoring was finally decided after much back and forth between a few users. Per DIB’s rules, as bets were to be placed the night before by 10 p.m. with their bets in cash the next day.

Unfortunately, however, we will never know the true score of DIB’s infamous deer. DIB was removed from the site the day before for the scoring was to take place for his language and comments on the thread. As to those of us who still question the actual score of the “126 deer” … That’s a question we might not ever find out the answer to. However, we will always have the post which can still be looked back on and give many a laugh to. If you’ve never read it, it’s something I would recommend as a must do. Even if you have seen it before, it never hurts to get another laugh or two in….
