I bowhunt, shotgun hunt and muzzleloader hunt and so does quite a few people that have been members here for years. Most guys join the contest to get to know other members better and have some fun keeping up with others season.
You need to relax a little bit here. This is all for fun. There's plenty of deer hunters out there who hunt hard during bow season and still enjoy picking up a gun when the time comes. If you have a problem with that, you need to rethink your own priorities on why you're here; not the other way around.
I want bloody arrows and meat in the freezer. If that equates to bragging rights for a year then that's a plus all the way around Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR THE CONTEST: This contest is free and anyone can sign up to be on a team. There will be a post count restriction of 25 or more posts required before you enter. This is to help reduce the number of people that sign-up for the Contest and are never heard from again.The initial sign-up period will end on or near Monday August 13th and teams will be picked. The number of teams and people per team will be based on the total number of participants. Each team will then be allowed to have their own separate team thread where members can chat back and forth about their seasons, vote for a Team Captain, and of course talk smack to other teams. The winning team from last year will return to defend their title for the second year in a row and do not need to sign up (Team 3, Size Matters). Once the Teams are assigned, each member will have two weeks to make a post signing-in to their respective Team’s thread. After the two week mark (on or around Sept 1st), any member that hasn’t checked in can be replaced with an alternate at the Captain’s discretion. Once the call is made for a replacement, it cannot be undone.Teams will be finalized by the 11th of September. There will be no replacements issued after that date. The official scorecard thread will be posted as soon as teams are drawn. When you kill a deer you are expected to post your photos, score, and other information in that thread. The scorecard will be updated by a staff member as we have time, typically once every couple weeks. The Contest will officially begin on September 1st and run through January 31st. If you shoot a deer before the contest officially starts, you will be allowed to post it once you have been assigned to a team. I understand that some seasons run longer, but for the sake of keeping people interested we're going to end it January 31st. At that time the winning team will be announced. They'll have bragging rights for the next 12 months and prize package from Bowhunting.com. It looks like there is a prize for winning. Also who wants to be the team captain?
