Spring 08 Turkey Contest

[FinsnFur]

The FnF Spring 08 Turkey Contest

...begins today.

Ends May31

Were going run two categories again, one for the biggest Turkey and one for the best photographed Hero Shot.
The winner of each category will win a $75 gift card for Cabelas

Every eligible entry will also receive their choice of (1) Kee's Custom Turkey Diaphragm

Biggest Turkey

• This will be judged by beard length and spur length only. (if you shoot a tiny turkey with a 40" beard... your going to Cabelas.)


• 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.
• Add the total measurements of each spur and the beard, highest accumulated inches will be the winner.

Post your total with your post yeah post your total with your post....that made sense didnt it?

• In such a case your turkey has more then one beard, both beards can be included

Best Photograph
This will be judged by the members in the form of a poll.
Were looking for the ultimate Hero Shot, be creative. Were gonna be looking for some serious aw factor. Sunsets, natural settings, etc. Were talking desktop wall paper

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

• All entries MUST be posted in this thread.


• All submitted photos must have something in the picture that says Fins and Fur. Write it on your shirt, your forehead, write it in the dirt, on a piece of paper...it dont matter but it must be in the picture.
• All participants must be of Reg Member status by the end of the contest. That means 25 posts under your belt to be eligible or to vote.
• One person cannot win both categories. The biggest Turkey will pretty much be self decisive by the measurements. This participant will automatically be non eligible for the photo contest.

Have fun and good luck to ALL

BANG! I shot a nice bird this mourning, where and how many pics do ya want Jim?

[alscalls]

Well first I became a big fan of Fins And Fur....

Then giving credit where its due, I bought a real good call from kees calls. Thanks Brent works well.

Then I finally got a day to call one for myself and that bird was HOT! He gobbled almost non stop at me for what seemed like 400yds. He then hung up because a hen cut between us so everytime she yelped I would cut her off cutting and yelping and he just would not come.........So I gobbled......He ran at me stopping to strut @ 50 yds. he gave me and that hen a real show strutting and drumming and gobbling.........I gave a fighting purr and he turned to fight and at 25 yds. Bang He flopped and raised his head to get up so I busted him two more times and BIG BIRD DOWN BOYS!




And what he was eating was not good for him..........

Thanks guys for firing me up this year!
