Please post any questions you may have here so we don't clutter the contest thread.

WESTERN RIVERS & FINS-N-FUR.NET MP3 PREDATOR CONTEST

This contest is open to FnF members registered before 12-01-08.
There will be no sign up sheet.
Each qualifying Member will get his/her name in the hat one time only.
One name will be drawn for the winner.
Contest runs from 12:01AM on 12-15-08 thru 3-15-09 @ midnight.
Winner will be drawn on 3-18-09.
FnF Member before 12-01-08.
Predators must be called to the shot.
Predators will include Coyote, Bobcat, Red & Grey Fox, Lynx & Wolves where legal, and Raccoon.
A photo of the predator must be accompanied by a picture,, preferably hand drawn by a 5-17 year old,, with Western Rivers & Fins & Fur.net on it. I realize this will not be easy for everybody to do. But you can have a Niece/Nephew/Grandchild/neighbors child do it for you. Anybody between 5 & 17 years old.
The photo entry needs the date on it.
The weapon used will be required to be in the photo.
The calls used will also be required.
The shooter will need to be in it as well.
Please post only your entry picture in this thread. Then post your picture & story in another thread. This should make it easier to ensure every entrant gets his/her name in the hat.
Please no photo shopping of the date or older pictures. This is supposed to be fun for everybody.

Good Luck to All & to all a Good Hunt!!

Edited: Never mind, this is for electronic calls only I assume.

Hi Semp. It's a way to try to get the kids involved in the sport. Plus it will hopefully add a little color to the contest as well. If it is not possible to have a youth do the drawing it is OK. Just draw it yourself & we will happily accept that. I hope this clears it up for everybody.

Hi Tikaani. I will add Lynx. I added Wolves for our northern most Brethren too.

It's not for electronic calls only Tikaani, but the winner does win an electronic caller.

PM returned this AM Tikaani.

Thanks Jim.

Jim, Glen,

Thanks for the info and the PM. I am going to try something different for this. I do very little calling over the winter, on the snowmachine covering area and sitting over kill sites is more what I tend to do. I have a small draw (no trail) about three miles long off of an area that I am running some traps and preparing a site for spring bear. I polished off the snowshoes and am going to set some snares along the way and brush up on the calling. No baited traps to help lure them in, just snowshoeing, dragging a sled for three miles setting snares and stopping to call along the way. Should be interesting addition to my winter activites.

So if I sneak out a half-mile in the snow and sub-zero temps on a sleeping fox I have yell HERE FOXXY!

What do you have against stalkers? Out here in the open country calling is tough. Sunrise, sunset and moonlight. pretty small windows of opportunity.

alscalls · December 17, 2008, 09:12:51 PM

What if I let forgman, Nick, or Dave shoot it but I called it in for em?.......

Can I let frogman draw the Pic for me? :roflmao:
Can I fire warning shots to make it harder...... :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
Will you drag it and skin it for me?

OK I'm just bored I will quit.
I can't wait for some entries.....

nailbender · December 18, 2008, 06:25:19 AM

Just for clarification. The drawn picture is to be of the animal?

HaMeR · December 18, 2008, 07:25:05 AM

Hi nailbender. I don't have anything against stalkers at all. Predators need to be controlled by any means necessary. This is a predator calling contest tho. Nothing more. Nothing less.

QuoteA photo of the predator must be accompanied by a picture,, preferably hand drawn by a 5-17 year old,, with Western Rivers & Fins & Fur.net on it.
