borch Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Rules 2005 Realtree.com Forum Members Turkey Contest The main purpose of this Contest is for the members to have some fun sharing their success and stories with a little friendly competition thrown in. Let's have some fun! 1. All birds submitted must have been harvested within the Rules and regulations of the state that they are hunted in. 2. Teams will be randomly assigned with equal(as possible) assignment of youth hunters(those 17 or younger at the beginning or the Contest) and different subspecies hunted. Deadline for registration will be midnight(cdt) February 25, 2005 in the Contest Sign Up Thread. Please go to the Hunting Journal forums to discuss team names and strategy. We want to keep the turkey forum from getting too bogged down with these types of posts this year. Each team will consist of up to 6 hunters. At the start the teams will be named Realtree Forums 1, 2, 3... Teams can come up with their own name at anytime. Please decide on that one name before having the default one change(no multiple name changes allowed). 3. Submitting birds for scoring. There will be a submission form posted for use by the start of the Contest. You will need to get a witness for the measurements of spur, beard and weight. Both you and the witness will need to sign the form verifying the measurement as being correct. All measurements will need to need in standard measurement(Inches/pounds). In addition to the submission form members will need to post three photos(there will be a submission thread for this). There are instructions in the photo thread for posting pictures. One a close up of the spur with a ruler/tape measure showing length. Also a second photo with a close up of the beard doing the same. The last picture should be of you(the happy hunter with your face mask pull down) holding up your beautiful bird. We want to see the whole bird as well as what you look like. One of these photos should also have your 2005 filled turkey tag in it. If your state does not use a tag system then write the date the bird was taken on a piece of paper and include it in one of your photos. When the Contest starts there will be also be a link to submitted your filled out form. If you are not able to submit you bird online, send Borch an email and we'll make arrangements to have it mailed and posted. 4. Scoring of the bird will be based on the NWTF scoring system. Each member will be able to score one bird(the first bird taken for your season even if you are allowed more than one) for the Contest. The top 4 scores for each team will be used to calculate the team's final score. The team with the highest final score will be the winning team. Also in addition to the team competition we'll have an individual youth( those 17 or younger at the beginning of the Contest) and adult competition. We'll use the same bird and score for the bird submitted to the team competition. The highest scoring bird will be the winner. 5. The Contest will run from March 5, 2005 until June 12, 2005. Awards/prizes will be awarded to the winning teams after the Contest completion. The 2005 Realtree.com Forum Members Turkey Quest is a Contest created and operated independently by Realtree.com forum members and is not officially sanctioned or managed by Jordan Outdoor Enterprises, Ltd. PRIZES - Each winning team member will get a full lightweight turkey outfit in Realtree Hardwoods Green.
