To be qualified for entry into the 2007 Turkey Contest, you must, be a registered member and thats it. No minimum post count.

1. All birds submitted must have been harvested within the rules and regulations of the state or province in which they were taken.

Required will be photos of: BEARD… with legible ruler or tape measure included to show actual length, SPURS… also with legible measurement, COMPLETED SUBMISSION FORMS, and lastly, a wide angle photo of the successful HUNTER with the entire bird. One of the four photos MUST include a legible view of your completed 2007 turkey tag. If your local regulations do not require a tag, then write the date of kill on paper and include that in at least one photo. There will be a photo submission thread for this. It will include these instructions for posting the pictures.

If you are not able to submit you bird online, send Joe or ADjam5 a PM and we'll make arrangements to have it mailed and posted.
