This spring? I already have 16 people signed up on another forum..We have to start early because the southern guys have an early season. They have until March 10th to sign up and it starts March 15th.

 

Just in New York or nationwide?

 

Would be nice to have a fourth HuntingNY  turkey contest.

Lets hope there are at least fair #'s for them this spring...Pretty sure the Southern guys will have the win again this year...no frozen beards little if any beard rot and lots of birds to pick and choose from...but it's always nice to see who's getting what.....

 

Isn't it to the southern people advantage to have a nationwide contest? This is why I like a New York Sate contest.

That is probably true...but there are no prizes involved. It is mainly a show and tell with lots of congrats at the end. Just like the deer contest. Though that one team's northern to southern hunters and is a way for members to get to know one another.

There are ways to increase your points though..giving northerners a better chance...mentoring youth hunters that tag..and calling for other hunters.

Most here may not get this,but last year the first Bird entered was really something. 13 in. Beard....1 3/4 in. spurs if I recall. No one else entered their Bird...with calling and youth another may have won...but I think it was a unspoken respect for such a great Bird and hunt. We all showed our birds..just didn't enter them..That unspoken group sign of respect is why decided to help out with site contests there.
