Alright all,

It is time to get the ball rolling for this years TOO Spring Turkey Contest. Sign-ups will remain open for the next 4 weeks (closing at 11:59 PM 4/10). This will allow teams 1 week to get checked in with one another.

Below are the rules for the 2015 TOO Spring Turkey Competition. Format/Rules are the same as years past.

I look forward to another fun, safe and successful turkey season.

TOO Turkey Competition Rules
1.Teams will be randomly drawn (drawing will occur 4/12)
2.Teams will consist of 4 members (subject to change depending on number of participants)
3.Team with the highest score wins
4.The Buddy Bird Rule (to promote the brotherhood of TOO) - If you are hunting with another member from TOO who is on a different team, and together harvest a turkey (for example, one shooter and one person calling), the bird may count for both of you as a "Bonus Bird". Each person may only claim 1 "Bonus Bird".


Scoring Guidelines

• Youth Bonus - Helping a youth (under 16) or first-time turkey hunter and photographing the hunt is worth 10 points (essentially worth a Jake)

• Photo of yourself and the bird
• 1 Photo of each beard and each spur measurement
• 1 of the pictures must show your tag

Summary
Ways to score points
