FinsandFur.net Forums

1:  Participants can be any age but all must be of at least Reg. Member status to be eligible to enter the contests or to vote. That means 25 posts under your belt.

2:  All submitted photos must have something in the picture that says Fins and Fur and the date taken. Write it on your shirt, your forehead, write it in the dirt, on a piece of paper...it doesn't matter but it must be in the picture.

3: This contest will be judged by beard length and spur length only (if you shoot a tiny turkey with a 40" beard... most likely you’re going to win).

4: You will need to photograph the beard with a ruler or tape measure, and the same with the spurs. The actual measurement must be easily distinguishable in the pictures, showing the entire beard in at least one picture with the ruler or tape measure.

5: Add the total measurements together (of each spur and the beard(s), include it in your post. The highest accumulated inches will be the winner.

6: In such a case your turkey has more than one beard, both beards can be included.

7: Remember to enter you must make a post in this thread with a picture(s) and your total accumulated inches.

Enter only one contest, the same person/turkey can not win both contests, but how's this to help keep up interest....
If you enter early and later on kill a bigger bird you will be allowed to update your original entry post. Contact me (or any of the other staff) by pm. We will gladly edit your entry with the bigger turkey. You must contact us before the end of the contest, midnight (eastern DST) on June 1, 2010. 
In other words a person can enter only once in this contest, but you can update your post as many times as you wish. Contest edits cannot be added except by the staff. Please get any updates to us ASAP and we will try our best to accommodate but due to our busy schedules we cannot be held responsible for your last minute updates.  Any past due entries or updates will be voided.

10 3/4" beard plus 2 hairs that ran past 11" but I don't really count those.
1 3/16" spurs both sides! That comes out to 13 1/8" by my math.

Thats what I'm talking about :yoyo:

Dont forget this contest ends this Wednesday (June1st) at midnight.

You still got time! :eyebrow:

kyfuzzyface, nice bird.

The best I can tell from the photo it looks like: Beard=10", 1st spur=1", 2nd spur=1&1/8", for a total score of 12 & 1/8".
If this is not correct please post your total inches of your turkeys beard and both spurs. 



Thanks,

A BIG +10000000000000000000000000000000

No thanks needed on this end, it's not the work of just one but a group effort of every person here. :congrats: to you all.  :biggrin:

   

 :readthis: Fuzzy you gotta post a story. Our season ran out a month ago and I haven't had a turkey fix since Dave killed his. You got to type, man, you got to type!

Nice work gentlemen. Congrats to the both :yoyo:

Congrats to everyone!   :congrats:

  Congratulations guys!  I' ll stop in and tell my sad story later when i have more time. :madd: :laf:

Congrats. guys!

Congrats to both you guys.
Shad, that is a great pic you have there.  I'll have to remember that as it is tought to get a good view of the bird when it's just laying in front of you on the ground.  Heck, you even picked a dead, sunbleached log for contrast.

 :biggrin: Thanks Dave! That old log was glowing in the sun to the point it was almost too bright but it made a great backdrop! We should have tried a couple of different angles to deal with the glare.

Congratulations guys.  :congrats: :congrats:

This turkey hunting thing is pretty much fun. Thanks to the turkey hunters on this forum I've found another reason to get up at o-dark-thirty and stay gone all day. I can't tell you how happy the wife is about that!  :nono: :nono:

Pat

Hey Pat

Turkey hunting is a DISEASE!  And there ain't no cure.   :nono:
