Anyone ever participated in this event?  Since I'm getting married this year I know the boss would have no part of me going this year, but me and a couple friends might do it within the next couple seasons.

I'd like to give it a go once, even though the vast majority of my cinematic experience revolves around an IPhone. Would be cool to say I'm heading to KS to compete in the World Turkey Hunting Championship. If by some stroke of luck my team was to win, I'd spend a large portion of my share of the winnings having a "Turkey hunting world champion" belt and ring made. That way whenever I get in an online discussion I could post a picture of my belt and my opinion would reign supreme, never to be questioned by mere mortals without a belt! Hell, I might have the belt made anyway!

Let's go and this is my pose when we win and get the belts:

Not for me.   For me turkey hunting is a competition, but not between hunters.   Amongst friends is one thing, but I'll pass on this.    This type of competition tends to bring out the worst in some people.   
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Yep, I 100% agree.

I'd still think it would be a fun trip.

This is just so someone can buy a world championship!!  Nothing but BS and a waste of time.

This is tooooo funny, in all reality if I went and won, my buddies would never hear the end of the constant trash talking.  Classic!!!!

Pretty sad.  Can't believe some of the names associated with this as sponsors.  What a joke.

Fishing tournaments are one thing.  You can put the fish back.  Turkey hunting is so different.  HUNTING is different.

I agree anytime there is money involved and having big names together in one place I could see it becoming out of hand with many egos being hurt.

But how sweet would it be to put a team together, go out there and come how with even a top 3 finish let alone come out on top when your going against what's considered "the best" or "pros".
