2013 Turkey Contest Rules !!!

This is a separate , Non Team Contest any member can play in this contest and the Team Contest , one or the other , it doesn't matter

No Registration is required !!!  -- if you shoot a nice one in any applicable manner, total score ,best hen, best of subspecies , heaviest gobbler , longest spurs , longest beard , best typical , best non-typical etc... just post a picture to that pertaining thread !!! easy and simple - 

This is a all in good fun contest, there will be no prizes , to keep things friendly and sporting--but it is a contest so it is understood that  you will need some kind of  scale to play for the weight and total scoring areas - I provided some good examples of how to score , and submit pictures to make this a smooth process-also  all Beards entered must have a picture clearly showing from the tip to the hairline - and multi beard turkeys must have pictures of the root of the beard where it is splitting to the tip(s) --  please keep in mind that the top scoring teams at the end of the game will have their measurements verified for accuracy, so be honest in scoring-- have a picture of you ,you may have your screen name and measurements clearly printed on sheet of paper -- to play in the contest enter your post in the applicable threads , we will not be hunting down your score


  If you shoot better gobbler, repeat the process , there is no limit to the amount of entries a member can submit


After a gobblers score is posted if I don't hear any issues about it after 2 weeks the score is final


It is the obligation of each contestant to score and submit their own gobblers and have that score posted along with your gobblers pictures to make the contest run smoothly


"We" the staff will not be hunting down your post on the forum board looking for what you killed - You make a post in your applicable thread and and score it -We will be keeping a updated roster with the best entries as the season progresses -

Overall score /Subspecies Contest --- Take a picture of your gobbler on a scale - if you do not take a picture of your gobbler on a scale you will get 14 pounds as a default ...10 pounds if its a jake

Beard Score Contest --- All multi- bearded gobblers must have a clear picture from the base/chest of the gobbler showing that the gobbler is a true multi - bearded gobbler this is a subject of controversy , we want to see SKIN in between the beards ,in your mind , if it is questionable please use restraint in declaring it as so - 


Best Spurs Contest -  Measure 1 best spur of the gobbler you killed -    no fudging numbers , make the tape ruler clearly visible on the curvature of the spurs  look at the example provided -



Non Typical Spurs - If there is two or more legitimate spurs on one leg (rare)measure both of those and add them together


Best Bearded Hen Contest - Only where legal !!!  There will be a thread for that too !!!






Here is a example of what your score pictures need to look like to have your gobbler scored in the contest.  Notice the clear pictures with his forum information and the SCALE ect ect ect.... A beard measurement from HAIRLINE to TIP and using the correct spur measuring method with CLEAR  pictures showing the tape ruler!  Thanks Chad for the good pictures !! RThn


















A very good example of a member ( thanks turkeybow !) with weight on scale
