4th annual squirrel contest rules, regs, and comments.

[Jeramie]

Teams will be drawn at random and hopefully enough will sign up to have three members to a team.

1) We measure tails per team. Top 5 tails with the longest combined measurement wins.

2) Pictures have to be clear and NOT questionable. Measurements taken from the underside of tail (business end) to the very tip. Make sure the entire length of measurement is viewable.

3) Pay Special Attention when measuring the animal and documenting. Any question in the measurements and the animal will be disqualified.

4) Please include a grouped photo with all animals for the day (or at the time of harvest).

5) Sign up will be in a separate thread pinned at the top. Sign up will last until Friday September 19th, Midnight. Teams will be chosen at that point and game on. Submissions will not be allowed before that date. However, any animal taken Saturday September 20th or later will add to the accumulative team score. The contest-end will be announced at the time the teams are drawn (based on season lengths and dates of participants).

6) If someone disagrees with the disqualification of any animal I will poll a few long standing members of the forum, through PM's. If the majority agrees, the animal will be disqualified.

7) And most of all, everyone have fun and play fair. This should be a good time.....

Any questions or comments spell em out.

Sign up will be in a separate thread pinned at the top. Sign up will last until September 19th at midnight.

Note: I will be participating. However, if my team is lucky enough to win I will not receive any prizes if any are offered.

I'd like to try that I love squirrel hunting...but do you have to have a team or what?

[Jeramie]

Yes, you will be drawn into a team. Teams will be drawn at random.



Here is something else brought to my attention by a fellow member. What do you all think?


Should we write the date on a piece of paper and put it beside the kill? Thats fine with me but I want the opinion of the group.

[turkeygirl]

I usually post the date of my kill anyway....

I'll just have to remember to bring paper and pencil with me. I seldom keep it in the car aside from that.

[ildrhntr]

so do we keep track of the ones we take before the teams are picked or does it not count until the teams are picked? The reason I asked is I got a nice grey and a fox this morning.

[Jeramie]

Not until the close of the sign up. Those will not count until then. Read rule #5....
