This will be a first time thing, so please bear with me :D

With archery seasons rolling around in many different states, I want to get the sign up thread started now.
Im sorry, we have no awesome prizes to give away for this contest, but maybe something a little bit better..... bragging rights :upthumb:


For the next 30 (Starting July 9th until August 9th) days I will leave this thread open for you to sign up in.
After the 30 days are up, I will have teams of 3 or 4 randomly selected based on how many participates we have and then it\'s game time!

To win the contest it\'s simple, your team must have the most points at the end of the elk season ;)

Points will be awarded as follows:
- A cow, calf, or spike elk will be worth 1 point.
- A bull elk will count for as many points the bulls rack has. (For example: a 5x5 would be worth 10 points)
To prevent confusion, a scoreable point must be able to have a ring hung from it.

You many enter as many elk as you want, but only your biggest elk will count.
Entries may be harvested with any legal weapon. (rifle, ML, Bow, etc)
To submit an entry, you will need to post a photo with either the elk and the hunter or the elk with the weapon
[any legal weapon method] used to harvest it.

*If you do not wish to post a picture of your kill on the internet for unit security reasons or for other similar reasons, you may send a text picture or email a picture to any of the site admin or moderators. They can verify your picture and upload your score*

I do understand how being tight lipped about an area can be, so this will allow you to still keep it a secret and still participate.

SO DONT FORGET YOUR CAMERA THIS YEAR :p


I will create an entry thread once the teams are built up and we can start coming up with some team names ;)


I\'m doing my research now, but I will run this all the way up until every states last season.

I don\'t think anything goes past Dec 31st?



Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy... I am looking forward to having some fun with you all
:thewave:

(yes there will be a deer one too :upthumb: )


If you would like to play, please say \"in\".
Additionally, if you have a son or daughter that you wish to enter in the contest and would like them to be on your team, please indicate that in your post. We will happily accommodate you to bring in more people :D


Remember, I am here for you guys!

You are putting points on the board, I have no doubt about it, Gary!!!



We have some great hunters on here, so this could get interesting :up thumb:


Glad to have you in, Francis!!!!! I just feel bad for those elk in CO that will be in front of your bow. :mg:
 
You know, bragging rights are fun to win, but I have decided kick it up just a little too.

It\'s not much, but I will personally donate $25 to a charity of the winning teams choice.





:dance2:





So who wants to play :wave:

I plan on bringing a bag of charcoal for some fresh Idaho elk loins. Don\'t be late..........
 
Sounds fun Dan! I\'ll play. Just make sure the random draw puts me with Lou! I hear he\'s quite competitive. I think he might put me on a elk just to win! :lol:

mmmm, elk loin!
 
I\'m in...but I\'m not trophy hunting this year. I plan to kill the first legal bull so I can help an older couple from NM kill two cow moose with trad bows. They hit the lottery and both drew tags in my stomping grounds.

If that happens it will make my season. Taking them scouting in my units on Sunday. I\'ve never met them but they seem like great people from our many phone conversations.

Cliff is letting me use the \"silver bowl of destiny\" to pick teams and ol silver is known for never taking a bribe in 32 years.
I may even record the \"drawing\" like the NFL draft. I can dress up in my finest flannel and draw the names.

Rumor has is that if you are on Lous team, he will send you one of his lucky hats ;)

The last time I heard something similar to this was at a pool hall near Umass. A girl told me she wasn\'t too good at pool and ended up taking my money, clothes, and even my favorite key chain...... :crazy:


Just kidding. ;)

The contest is just for fun, no need to worry about trophy hunting.
I bet your elks front leg will be bigger than any elk I shoot this year :train:

I\'m in. Sounds like a fun way to keep track of everyone.

Glad to have you aboard, John!


This could make your trip a little interesting.
If you and Brad are on opposite teams, who gets first crack at the first big bull ;)








Keep on coming in folks, the more the merrier. We don\'t mind your skill level or how long you\'ve been hunting. We are just looking for some fun :upthumb: :upthumb: :upthumb: :upthumb:
 
I\'m in!

Although Lark and I are hunting together at some point during the season.... :think: So if we aren\'t on the same team I may have to \"Accidentally\" replace his arrows with blunt tips before heading out in the morning.... :mrgreen:
