Matty Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I think we need a turkey contest, and I already call "not it" for running it...but I'll help someone if they want. I say...anyone that has a turkey toilet automatically runs it. Teams or individual? Just go by the NWTF scoring... and limit to one or two birds per contestant. Anyone interested? Thoughts, ideas? “I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued. I see the animal not only as a target, but as a living creature with more freedom than I will ever have. I take that life if I can, with regret as well as joy, and with the sure knowledge that nature’s way of fang and claw and starvation are a far crueler fate than I bestow.” – Fred Bear
Spent Brass Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Was just going to ask the sane thing Sam I hunt pa for turkeys Hunting and fishing is not a sport to me its a way of life:rock:
Matty Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 I don't see why we couldn't include any Eastern gobblers. If we limit it to one bird, timing or duration of the season won't play much of a factor. Maybe keep it to the tri-state area NY, NJ and PA. “I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued.

remingtonman1108 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 I have turkey hunted once but I am going to give it a go this year! I'd be in for the contest but IDK who would want me on their team! I am rookie when it comes to these thunder chickens!
gobblergetter Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Looks like Matty has it all under control...Thanks for running the contest !
Matty Posted February 27, 2013 Author Posted February 27, 2013 Hmmm... That makes me wonder if we should list "newbie", "experienced", "veteran" or the likes next to our names. Then we could try to fairly balance the teams by putting the names in 3 hats and drawing one of each (or more) for each team. Just a thought...may be too complicated.....May need to K.I.S.S.... “I have always tempered my killing with respect for the game pursued.
