2008 MNO Deer Hunting Contest This contest is intended to be the virtual deer hunting camp. Teams can banter back an forth (keep it clean or else ) and each team will work towards a cummulative score together. This is a friendly competition and the winners will be the recipient of braggin rights for a year and get a new title unter their avitar. There are no celebrities nor staged hunts here. We are all real people with real life challenges like sick kids, football games, weddings...to challenge us not to mention the white tails don't give up easily.
We look forward to the photos of your deer and the stories to go along with them. We have heard some doozies in the past so don't hold back. Extra points will NOT be given for creativity. We encourage sportsmanship, QDM, and clean kills.
Here is the explanation and rules:
(1) Teams will be chosen at random by our computerzed randomizer Team size will be based on the total amount interested in order to have even sized teams. Teams will be announce on Oct 1. Any deer taken prior to Oct 1 by leagl means WILL count towards the season end score.
(2) Hunters score by taking a doe for 100 points or a buck for 10 points per legal point. QDM can go a VERY far way here. A 10 pointer is 100 points. So to better your score from that doe you took to put meat in the freezer, you'll need an 11 point buck or better. If it comes down to a tie breaker, we will count the total number of deer per team and use that as a score. If we still need a tie breaker beyond that, it will be up to the MNO staff judges (administrators, staff, moderators...) who will chose the winner base on good sportsmanship, skill, photo, and story.
(3) Hunters can kull their own deer but not for other team members. Each hunter may only claim ONE deer.
(4) Proof of each deer killed will be a photo submitted with the hunter, their deer, and the weapon they used all in one photo. Photos must be submitted within on week of the kill. No photo with you, the deer and the weapon = no points. In other words THIS IS MANDITORY to score.
(5) Deer can be taken by any legal means during any legal deer hunting season. All deer taken must comply with the laws of the state in which you hunt. For example, If you travel out west and get a Mule Deer, that will count but it must be a legal kill and you must submit a photo with you, your deer, and your weapon.
(6) Teams may select a team name as long as its not offensive/socially unacceptable. If no name is chose, they will be designated by the team number we assign them.
(7) Contest end -- some members hunt out of state. What ever state (involved in this contest) has the longest season will mark the end of this season. If you plan to hunt out of state, you need to submit that with your bio (entry post).
(8) Required for each hunter:
-- a photo of you with your bow, cross bow, or fire arm
-- clear discription of what your equipment is (sight/scope, release, stand...)
-- what state/states you'll be hunting in
-- bio - How many years you've been hunting, how many deer you have taken, methods of hunting you've used in the past, what you like the most....
