2014 Turkey Contest - custom call
Posted: Sat Mar 08, 2014 8:44 am
Didn't see a contest thread, but saw several people interested. Y'all are welcome to make another team contest in addition to this one, but I figured I'd contribute just to give us all something else to follow this season. I'm going to make the rules a little different...I think it will be fun. Required pic of each turkey...need to see spurs and beard (of your largest). I don't care for measuring tapes in pics; if you feel the need to lie or cheat, that's on your conscious. I'll award the MSDUCKS member that wins a custom turkey call made by myself. Rules will be as follows:
1. Open to all current MSDUCKS members (can NOT join MSDUCKS and enter after 3/15/14)
2. Your largest bird will determine majority of your score as follows:
A. Beard x 2
B. Each spur x 10
C. Additional beards x 1
3. +1 point for an opening weekend kill (must post pic by 10pm 3/16/14)
4. +1 point for killing the limit in your state (must announce your home state)
5. +1 point for each additional state that you kill a bird (not +1 for each turkey)
6. +1 point for archery kill
7. Contest will end May 31, 2014 OR when all participants announce they're done.
So, for scoring example, Billy Bob kills a turkey opening weekend (+1), he kills 2 other turkeys in MS for a limit (+1), his largest of which was killed with a bow (+1) had 1" spurs (+20) and was double bearded, a 10" beard (+20) and a 6" beard (+6). He then went to Missouri and killed two turkeys (+1) and also killed one in Alabama (+1). His final score is 51.
Again, this is on the honor system...you don't have to post a bunch of pics with a measuring tape and the bird. Just show a decent pic that includes the beard and spurs. If the pic obviously doesn't look like the reported measurements, I guess we could ask for a tape measure later if enough people call it out. Have fun, and good luck this season gentlemen!
