SO, I guess at this point, since she hasn't posted in over 2 weeks, and it's coming up on time to get the ball rolling, I WILL BE TAKING OVER and, like Rammer, think that the rules that we had last year should apply. All that agree, yeah, all that dissagree say NAY!!!

I'd rather see Howler in charge of this thing. It seems like there were dozens of folks wanting to participate last year, several even wanted to organize the thing, but I don't recall any of them actually stepping up when it was time to get to work. I don't think any of them even submitted a dead coyote for scoring? Howler can do it right, he will do it right, and I'd rather not get involved in a contest ran any other way.
The rules are simple, the scoring is simple.Let's see who's interested in competing,have Howler throwtogether some teams and thenlet us start doing what we do best. The only thing I'd do differently than last year... is have ONE official thread that shows the teams in the original post (by Howler). In that thread, hunters would submit their pictures for scoring. In that thread- the original post (by Howler) would be edited on a regular basis to update the scores as they change. This way we go one place to see who's on who's team- and submit our photos- and check our scores. ALL IN ONE. That's my only suggestion... for what it's worth.

I don't have a problem with Melsheeba taking overso long as she leaves the rules and scoring the same- and shows up to tally our scores every day or two.
If we're going to include coons I'd say its fair for 10 coonsto equal one coyote - so basically 5 points for a coon and 50 for a coyote? I agree on random team drawings as well.
My last request of those organizing this contest is to make things as clear as possible even if it takes a few more minutes up-front. Maybe use BOLD font to type the scores, and ITALICS to list the team names? Maybe even keep the top scoring teams on top of the list? I'm not trying to make this whole thing complicated.... but I don't think it'd be too tough to make things really clear for those of us who visit the scoring thread on a daily basis!

OK, let's get the ball bouncing then. I am going to pick teams this evening. We will start with 4-4 man teams for now. We will leave entrys open also, so that each time we get 4 more interested entrants, I will add one man per team, with random draw. Once we hit 4 -10 man teams, if we do, that will end entry. I am going to tweek the points awarded for each species just a little. I am going to allow raccoon, because they are a predator and they can be called. Also will throw wolverine on the list, just because I want to see someone get one called in and killed.
raccoon- 5 points/ea.
fox - 50 points/ea
coyote -50 points/ea
bobcat -- 75 points/ea
wolverine-250 points/ea
wolf -250 points/ea
mtn. lion -500 points/ea
bear --500 points ea.
For the hunter/team to be awarded points, the hunter must post pics. that will include the animal/s and weapon usedduring the hunt. No EXCEPTIONS. No weapon in the pic.= 0 points. No pic. of the animal= 0 points. The hunter does NOT have to be in the pic., as many guys hunt alone and many may not have any way of including themselves in the pic. This is all on THE HONOR SYSTEM. If you feel that you gotta cheat to win, you're pathetic. [:@]This is for fun. Although I may try to put together some kind of award for the winning team. NO Promise on that![8D]But I am going to try to come up with something!! Don't hold your breath for too long!
I am going to go ahead and draw teams this evening, andwill post the results no later than 9 pm mtn. time. The starting date will be Oct. 1st., tomorrow. Let the best/luckiest team win!!

RE: 08-09 Predator Contest Sign up
Interesting, but how do you call bears and coons? A spot light in the tree for coons isn't really calling, and cooking BBQ and leaving the cooker out to attrack the bears isn't calling either. If we want to play that way, I guess I can, but last years format was easy.
And by the way, I don't see your name on the entrant list yet!!

RE: 08-09 Predator Contest Sign up
sign me up howler,it sounds to me like some of the crew has never used a coon squaller to simulate a coon fight and have a coon try to run up there leg to get to the sound.they are in for a treat!Those critters are very aggresive when coming to a fight.I have several coon sounds on my foxpro after witnessing one come in full blast and try to kill the caller!good luck everyone!!

I was playing with the coon sounds on my Foxpro this summer and had to send my Scorpion in to get a new antenna put on it after a coon form tackled it to the ground off the tree limb it was sitting on. [:@]
