The one I posted by the contestants and prizes in this thread is taken about 1/2 a mile away from my house. We open on the 20th but work is going to screw me up until the weekend. The farm I hunt always holds birds so I don't think it will be much of a problem but one never knows. That's why they ca...

My guess is that it looks like a pot bellied pig? Or would you call that a BBQ Lite?

I would; look at that bottom picture and tell me that wouldn't be an awesome full mount? They used to be pretty rare around here but now it's not uncommon to see many of them. I wonder what causes the mutation?

This is the first press report I could find on the situation,

It's a shame this sort of thing occured. Prayers for both sides involved.

I did appreciate the press framing how uncommon this type of shooting is. I am sure that we will hear more.

I think we should post the weights for bragging rights but not use it as a competitve measure. A bird with an arrow passed through it is certainly going to weigh less than one with 2.5 ounces of lead buried in it. Also, the bird Crazy took weighs 4 pounds more for rolling into the creek before it di...

Great bird Crazy and what a way to start this off! You're entered in the contest but I have not scored this one as your entry until you officially notify. For all involved, we need pic of both spurs measured as they will be totalled and then added to your score. Crazy, is the other spur 7/8's as wel...

Doe Master, I thought I had considered every possibility but missed a big one there. Let's measure the longest beard for inclusion in the calculation. Multiple beards will bring lots of admiration from our brothers and sisters here if any of us are fortunate to harvest one. As far as the tags, I rea...

Than white it will be! I am sure that all will conduct themselves with honesty but since there are already prizes involved, I thought that a little something was in order to keep it on the up and up. I hope that it won't detract from anyone participating. When does the season run in Quebec? The next...
