Turkey Hunting Contest Sign Up And Rules

[freedomrules3]

ok folks we are going to have our 1st annual turkey hunting contest. the following rules will apply:
1) you must be a member of east coast hunters forum
2) all scoring will be done by the NWTF scoring system, archery kills will get 1 extra point .
3) you must sign on before getting your bird, this will keep someone from signing up with a winning turkey in hand already.
4)all members must sign up to be eligible for any prizes, you may sign up anytime during the contest in fairness to any new members.
5) all birds must be taken in a legal and ethical manner, no shooting from the roost or farmraised birds
6) only 1 bird may be entered but you may substitute any bird at any time during the contest for a better bird.
7) a photo of the bird must be submitted
8) lets have fun and keep it honest , no stretching those spurs or weight ;D

PRIZES
I will give out custom trophys to the top 3 scores. any other prizes will be added if necessary.


Our deer hunting contest was a big success and i think this will be also. lets all sign up and see how well we can do. this will become an annual event just like the deer hunting contest will be. lets keep it safe and take some good birds

I'm in too.

Although I've never killed a wild turkey, I feel good about this season.

[eshoremd]

im in

[ARO]

rick, i am in.

are we gonna have teams, it would be fun to have a team contest, maybe 2-4 guys per team, depending on how many people sign up.

[freedomrules3]

I wasn't planning on teaming up for this one , we'll see how many people enter . i only planned on indivivual trophies , so no team prizes would be in store, just bragging rights. we can see how many we get and what everyone else thinks about making teams.


hey Todd,
where did ya get the trophy pasadena boar , gonna get it mounted ?

[eshoremd]

im not too sure about teams for this one. last contest my team members just held me back.

i was on that boar for months. finally baited him in with a pizza crust. funny thing was the first two arrows just bounced off him. chubby little guy!

[BillCartwright]

I'm in though it looks like the 2 birds I took in bama this weekend won't count. The second one was even a bow kill.

[jirvin]

[ARO]

well i am pretty sure all turkey seasons are over, with only two entries in the contest i guess jirvin is the winner!! congrats

eshoremd, you didnt enter the double bearder?

[eshoremd]

i said i was in. kinda thought my turkey was automatically counted when i posted the measurements and pics. i might not have read the rules right. its no big deal if im not but if im still eligible do i add up both beard length. if so:
Your score is 22.5 + 11.25 + 12.5 + 34 = 80.25

rick can decide if mine counts. if i didnt follow the rules i DO NOT want to be counted.

[ARO]

yes, you add both beard lengths.

[freedomrules3]

his score counts i'm certainly not that picky about things . he posted it in the turkey section.
the trophies i was going to get were very chincy at best. so heers the deal, if i can ever get a logo figured out for this site (which i have been working on now for a friggin year lol ) i will get a shirt out to the top 3 . since there were only 3 entered its a no brainer . so as of now i owe you all a echf shirt when i get a logo.
