Spinoff From Best Unknown Hunter In Your State
 

I submit to y'all that HNI should hold a contest (for lack of better word in my feeble mind) that would be a spinoff from Germ's thread "Best Unknown Hunter In Your State". Open it up to all registered users of Huntingnet.com with the following rules:

1. Nominee cannot be a current member of the forum;
2. Nominations are limited to one per member;
3. Members should nominateaperson they personally know, who, in their opinion, best epitomizes an American Hunter;
4. Judges determine the top 3 nominations and award those persons a prize (hat, T-shirt, etc)
5. All nominees receive a certificate from Huntingnet.com.

I further submit that such a contest would bring more top class members to the forum (and I am NOT saying we don't have some of the best hunters on here already). Said new members would also bring a lot more expertise and techniques to all members.

If it is not feasible because of the cost of doing something like this, I would gladly help out financially as much as I possibly can and would guess others would do the same.

Now that I've put it out here, what do y'all think?

Great Idea

Can this wait until August?;)

RE: Spinoff From Best Unknown Hunter In Your State
 

Forgive me....but how will this work if they cannot be a current member of the forum?

RE: Spinoff From Best Unknown Hunter In Your State
 

You nominate someone you know who is not a member of this forum! Only members can make nominations. Jeez mobow, R U from Puxico or something?

When (if) it happens, doesn't really matter to me for the timeframe. I just thought it would be a good thing to do. The membership as a whole can come up with the timeframe as far as I am concerned.

If noone knows this person, how do we vote on them???:eek:

RE: Spinoff From Best Unknown Hunter In Your State
 

I vote for CAPTAIN TUTTLE! (MASH)

See Item 3 in my original post.

Your response emulates what I hit Germ with in his original thread. I guess its "touche" to me.

I second the Capt. Tuttle nominee. That dude was awsome. He was a skilled surgen, nailed Margret and died in the line of duty. What a great---- imaginary guy!!!!

Lest we digress....

This was the very first thought that came to my mind as well!:eek: I don't think "#3" handles the problem. Too much grey area.[8D]

RE: Spinoff From Best Unknown Hunter In Your State
 

Ok, fixed number 3....Jeez

RE: Spinoff From Best Unknown Hunter In Your State
 

I'm not trying to buck your system. I think it's a nice idea, but how can we trust someone else's idea of what a good nominee would be? That's all I'm getting at.:(:D

Early, it's called integrity. I suggest that the vast majority of persons who subscribe to this forum do have integrity going for them. I know I would not make something up about someone else to get them an award. First of all, what would that other person think of you for lying about them. Second, I could not live with myself knowing I had willfully told falsehoods to get a friend/acquaintance an award.

You nominate someone and from what you are able to say about that person, the judges will score your nomination post/pm. After all entries are judged, thethree who have the highest combined scores are this years' recipients.

All in all its pretty simple as far as I'm concerned.
