This years contest will be an individual event. 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 be 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). If you need help posting pics let me or other members know. One a close up of the spurs with a ruler/tape measure showing length,(you may need two pics if the spurs are different lengths). 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. Be creative and have fun with it. Also post your completed form with your photos. You can scan the completed form or simply take a photo of it 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 highest scoring bird will be the winner of the contest. Also in addition to the highest scoring bird competition we'll have a photo competition for all of those who are signed up for the contest.

Wanderer Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just signed up - why not, eh? I don’t have big or old birds around my place but it’ll still be fun! The last time I joined this contest we were on big, old birds in southern MN. It’ll be an interesting season. Rick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borch Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 (edited) Might have a quadruple bearded stud with 2" spurs. You just never know. Also remember the photo portion of the contest. Just needs to be a cool picture of your hunt or your trophy. So be thinking creatively.

Wanderer Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’m seeing some states are suspending the use/sale of Non Resident hunting and fishing licenses. That might be a deterrent for some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borch Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 Feel free to share you scouting, strategy and of coarse make predictions of your success. Wanderer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderer Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) I was walking between my shed and house today and heard a hen yelping and a Tom gobble, if that counts for scouting. Like I posted before, I have my blind and decoy strategies scouted. I predict if I get a bird with my bow, it’ll be around a 20 lb bird with 3/4 inch spurs and a 9 1/2 inch beard. Unless a Jake gets too close! Edit: like @Borch and @monstermoose78 said, you never know when a big boy might show up? The neighbor just showed me pics of 2 big boys that showed up for the first time on Saturday and started pushing the 2 year olds around.

Wanderer Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I received texts of 2 birds that were taken this morning before I got done with my first meeting. Just got back from a drive over to a farm I might get to hunt. Dem birds was out all over! Saw some big flocks including.one on the farm. I mostly remember the big red headed monster in a logged off area I passed on the way back. Huge bird! But I doubt I could hunt there.
