Rules for the Turkey “Contest” ..
It seems that we have enough interest to get this First Annual HuntingIndiana Turkey “Contest” off the ground.
It will be three person teams this time. Teams will be drawn at random after all who want to play are in.
Now, not everyone agreed to the First Annual Deer “Contest” rules on number of bucks and states of residence bucks. So lets put it up for a vote on the rules..
I think it should be..
First bird in the state of residence
All birds in the state of residence
The first bird from any state
All birds from any state
I'll let the poll run for a week and then we'll set the rules. In the meantime I'll start a thread on entrants.

My vote goes for the first bird in the hunters state of residence. That keeps it on an even playing field for those that can't hunt out of state.

I like the idea of the first bird from any state. The eastern turkey averages a little higher score than the other sub-species, so really anyone that goes out of state to hunt a different sub-species is not getting an advantage. But this is an Indiana site and Indiana birds competing against Indiana birds sounds fair.
Plus, for some that do travel out of state, killing a bird in Indiana may not be the highest of their priorities.

I voted for all birds from any state. I think that a picture confirmation of beard length, spur length, and either a pic of birds weight, or diminish weight to last in importance. JMHO  |

Woody, so what are the official rules of this contest? Can I enter a naked butterball from the local Kroger grocery store, of course without wrapper and thawed? Or must I actually have pictures of a bird with you know feathers, head and wings? I'll tell you it's kind of difficult, if not impossible, in getting one of those when hunting with Indy.

Going to MS for 3/15 opener.....can we finalize rules prior to then? I like the biggest bird at the time of the season ends in Indiana? I know if I get a bird in MS it will be an eastern bird but smaller then one I might get here in Indiana....make since?

Yep.
We will get the rules up pretty quick here.
Also need to draw teams.
The poll was to get input as to which bird(s) would count and the "The first bird from any state" got the most votes.
Sorry, but I've got to go with the majority rules.

You giving up your secrets already 410? Don't worry, if Woody pairs us up you'll be in good hands. I'll even let you call again.  |

Dang man now you not only want me to call your geese but another turkey for you. Not to worry Indy I've already made the deal with Woody so I'm not paired up with you. He's waiting for Duff to enter so he can pair you and him together. I'll just need to let Duff know that if he sees something running out in front of him it's probably you getting in between him and the bird. ;D
