Summertime Contest
 

Everybody's talkin about the squirrel contest.... but that wont take place until fall, so why not have a contest in the summer to get us geared up and keep our skills honed? I say we do a groundhog contest, biggest # overall, in teams just like the squirrel contest (you can eat em if you want, but most people just want em outta their gardens) Sign up if you want, and give ideas on how many people per team and any other stuff that might come up during the contest. We need to decide on a starting date and stopping date.

Any weapon is legal, as long as YOU think you can make a clean, ethical kill with it.

Team #1
Timbawolf98
Deerslayer223

Who else is in? If we can decide on a number of persons per team, bring your own team if you want, so you're in with your buds. Contact me or Deerslayer223 with any questions.

How do u guys feel about takin pictures of ur harvests? I was just thinking if we dont have pics how are we going to have proof that the people are even killing any they might just be messing with our heads[8D]. If not i guess we can trust word of mouth! Give some feedback...

RE: Summertime Contest

RE: Summertime Contest
 

A contest has to have a prize. What's it gonna be?

RE: Summertime Contest
 

How long is the contest? Will rock chucks work! I don't have any groundhog in my part of the country.

RE: Summertime Contest

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Count me in! Pair me up with whomever you'd like.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

What about a summer time small game contest. Here in maine the only thing to hunt is red squirrles, yotes, wood chucks, and porkeypines.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

A woodchuck around here is considered a groundhog.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Make it a summertime small game contest so anyone on here can be a part of it. If you do count me in.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Around here all u can hunt during the summer is varmit's it is that way in many places. If we make it a summertime small game contest it wont be fair to some people. Sorry 94. Are you still in anyways?

RE: Summertime Contest
 

All I have around here are those pesky whistle pigs (ground squirrels) and yellow bellied marmots. Count me in, I'll team up with anybody

WHO ELSE IS IN??????

RE: Summertime Contest
 

One more thought...When does the summer time contest end? I am thinking, oh, August 31st or so.

Also to save on the space and time downloading pics, how about every body save and freeze the tails of the quarry and take one pic at the end of the contest to show how many were taken? Just a thought, any comments to that?


And the final rules?

Starts May 1st ends ?

Any legal weapon

Post pics for accuracy of counting

RE: Summertime Contest
 

May 1st- August 31

Post pics of kills (i dont care for cutting the tails off anything)

Any legal weapon

Teams are posted above

RE: Summertime Contest
 

To bad we can have a contest everybody can participate in...hardly any groundhogs around here....o well...

RE: Summertime Contest
 

What about gophers???? Their the closest thing we have to anything shootable in the summer.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Has anyone got one yet? I have seen two so far. One was in my yard which is in town hense no shooting zone. I was going to get it that night but on my way home from a friends house it was allready road kill. The other one was today down at the place that I ride horses and Im going to ask the owner of the property if they will let me hunt out back.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

i would but no g-hogs here...maybe we should do a coyote contest this summer???

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Got 2 so far. Havent been out to much. Havent had much time. They seem 2 be out alot lately hope to hit em hard this weekend. ;)

RE: Summertime Contest
 

may be ya'll should have a groundhog,coyote etc...... contest...anything that is a varmit that you can kill in the summer.......;)

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Got 7 so far...Only two have been since the contest started and they weren't that big...I'll have to remember the camera and scale from now on. Is it number of groundhogs or do we have to weigh them too? I'm confused.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

I got 2 the other day. Haven't had too much time as I have been more concerned about school than anything. Will be able to get out more here in the next couple of weeks.

I got two out of three last night and one more today...I haven't been able tog e tout much becaus eof work and i had to get some mor ebullets. The 22-250 is back on the groundhog killing line though.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

I haven't been out hardly at all this summer. I don't have a truck and have a hard time finding someone to go with me. I will be going out this Saturday and Sunday on a water guzzler project in the mountains, so hopefully I can find the time and a few varmints to hit.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Not sure if these will count, but this morning, I got 3 jackrabbits while working on a water guzzler for elk, deer, antelope, as well as upland birds and whatever else is in the area. I went out to the site late last night and got up this morning before everybody else came up and blasted a few. I am sure I can add to the score as soon as I get the problem with my .223 figured out. I should have pics of the jacks in the next couple of days.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

Here is a pic of my primary go-to gun for hunting jack rabbits. H&R .223, Leupold 2-7 x 33, Harris Bipod, 45 gr Speer handloads.



And here is a pic of some jack rabbits I got on 6/26/04 in Goshute Valley, Nevada.

RE: Summertime Contest
 

SOOO, is anybody else having any luck???? Just would like to hear how everybody is doing!!!!

RE: Summertime Contest
 

I haven't been out since the first week of june! Did get two jacks though.
