Guest Racksnbeards Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Maybe the site already has a contest for the youth hunters, and I just don't get on here enough to notice, but why not have a contest for youth hunters only. Mods, webmaster, etc...whoever is in charge of getting contests together, these are my ideas, maybe someone has better ones but these could get something started. Make the contest limited to youth only say ages 8 to 17. It could be teams like the Reatltree deer contest and points talleied or it could be a picture contest, that the Realtree members vote on. It could be divided into small game or whitetail. For the younger guys/gals the parents can upload the photos. My son is 8 this year and will be going after his first whitetail in both Iowa and Missouri. We were scrolling through the forums and asked about the contests. He asked if they had anything for kids, well not being aware of anything, I thought it would be a great idea. Thoughts or comments....

wtnhunt Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Contest for youth hunters? In the past if I am not mistaken youths have always been put on teams evenly. I think the youth with the best deer also wins something. So if you look at it that way, there kind of already is a contest for youths.

Guest Racksnbeards Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Re: Contest for youth hunters? wtnhunt, I think it's great they can be in the deer contest, I just thought something more youth oriented would be great. Maybe have a youth contest for just them and let them participate in the regular contest. just thoughts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 Re: Contest for youth hunters? I'd be willing to organize a youth deer contest in the youth room for JUST youth, but I'm afraid it would be just that, a contest. I can't offer any prizes for the winner, but if someone can come up with them, I'll get to work on rules and guidelines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Racksnbeards Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Re: Contest for youth hunters? Kat, that would be awesome, I'd be more than happy to help you in anyway I can, as far as prizes, maybe an email to realtree? Maybe a post and everybody pitch in a little cash for a prize, I really dont know, but would be happy to help. I wont tell my boy until we see what gets going, but he will be excited.

Guest benhohnke Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Contest for youth hunters? This is a great idea i mean sure you may be able to sign up for the deer comp but it is almost always a fully grown man that will win that a youth orientated contest sounds like a sweet idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest benhohnke Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Re: Contest for youth hunters? can you enter red and fallow deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M00N Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 Re: Contest for youth hunters? [ QUOTE ] ELIGIBLE ENTRIES Any deer taken in the 2006-07 deer season. That includes muley, whitetails, blacktails and cous deer. Both does and bucks are eligible for entry. Deer may be taken however legal way choosen (bow, shotgun, rifle, etc... motor vehicles not allowed ). [/ QUOTE ] Appears only those species are allowed. The red deer and fallow deer would be something for a big game or exotic game contest, not a deer contest, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
