These are the official contest rules. Please read them over very well, as we have had some goof ups over the last couple of contests. We need every bird to count.
Take a picture of your gobbler on a scale - if you do not take a picture of your gobbler on a scale you will get 14 pounds as a default ...10 pounds if its a jake
Only the longest beard of a multi bearded gobbler will be scored for the Team contest this is a subject of controversy , there may be a separate Individual non typical (not team ) contest gobblers may be scored in both but in the team contest only the longest beard or spur on each leg.
Here is a example of what your score pictures need to look like to have your gobbler scored in the contest. Notice the clear pictures with his forum information and the SCALE etc etc etc.... A beard measurement from HAIRLINE to TIP and using the correct spur measuring method with CLEAR pictures showing the tape ruler!!
