Bow Contest

[Bills Custom Calls]

Is there any interest in one this year
Lets hear it folks.It would be sorta the same as last year
Lets hear your remarks.Give us you input
Or is there something you want changed from last year

Last years rules

Contest will be broken into two categories and will run from Sept. 15th, 08 through Jan. 12th, 09

Best Photograph
Can be a photo of any bow kill harvested between the dates above. Date stamped photos are a plus. Judging will be on the aww factor of the picture. Meaning either the size of the harvested animal/s, or the setting the pic was in, or overall picture, or all of the above. looking for something that stands out from an ordinary hero shot here.

Largest Whitetail Rack
Will have to be photo'd obviously, but I'll ask that you include something for size reference. A tape measure legible in the pic, measuring the spread, would be best.
Must be a Whitetail dear.
This will be judged on the widest spread, so measure them at their widest point.


•The members will judge the Best Photograph, and the Largest Whitetail Rack will judge itself.
•You don't have to specify which category you want your entry in. It will pretty much dictate that itself.
•All entries must be a registered Fins and Fur member at the time the contest begins. (Sept. 13th 08) Midnight. This way no one is lurking, hops in after a massive kill and runs off with the loot, never to be seen again.
•All entries must be posted in this thread in order to be eligible.
•(NEW for 08) All entered pictures must either be time stamped via the camera, or there must be something in the photo reading "Fins and Fur 08". No photoshopped images.

Other than the dates you mean??    Just messin with ya Bill!! 


I like the idea of a minimum number of posts. Say 15 or so. This would show participation on the board & there is plenty of time yet for the new folks to get the required number of posts needed. In my opinion it's not so much about the money, prizes, or contest. It's more about participating & contributing to the board.

I also like the idea of an FnF sign in the pic. I thought it was neat the way Vic made his with shotgun shells in the crow contest.   

Maybe a tape measure across the main beams for size. 

just a couple thoughts. Your call on what you do with them. You know I'm OK with whatever you come up with.

Kaintuckee starts on Sept 5 and ends on Jan 18.

I may bow hunt a little this year so put me in.   

[KySongDog]

I also suggest someone update/clean up the rules for this year so there's no corn-fusion.   

[FinsnFur]

Well....that wasnt really this years rules, I dont think. Bill was polling the membership to see if it was worth our time to run another one.
I'm sure the rules will be the same, but someone will make it official.

[KySongDog]

I know those were last years rules.           But I think if we are going have to a contest this year we need this years rules.   


As for me and KY, on second thought, my shoulder might not let me do much with a bow for awhile so start and stop the contest when ever you want.  If I can bow hunt I will. 

[Bills Custom Calls]

Yep I was just checking things out to see if there was enough interest
The offical post for the contest will be made in a week or so
So sit tight and all will be put in order
Ohio deer season ends the last of Jan.I  think  But I am happy with ending it in the middel of Jan

Semp Thanks for bringing the dates to my attention
