1.) Swamp Fox - 07/28/2014
[COLOR="#FF0000"][B][SIZE=4]This is the official sign-up and rules thread for 2014.
Alex, could you make this a sticky and use it to replace the 2013 thread? Thanks.
[/SIZE][/B][/COLOR]If you use another thread and think you're signing up, you're dead wrong and we cannot be held legally responsible (pretty sure about that).
Don't post on this thread unless you're signing up. Management reserves the right to sign up anyone who posts on this thread just for S&G's or to proclaim he's not signing up. If you feel the need to podunk about the contest, use another thread.
Deadline for sign-up is August 14 at 5PM Eastern. The drawing for team assignments will be done at 6 PM. Team assignments will be random, as in the past.
[COLOR="#FF0000"]Late entries will be considered for newcomers this year. However, this will be completely at the contest administrators' discretion. If you are a regular, you don't have a good excuse to sign up late. That is not to say that we can't be bribed. However, if late sign-ups have the whiff of even a smidgeon of corruption, or if they begin to appear to be a pain in the ass, you will be SOL after August 14 at 5PM whether you're a regular or not. That is, there is NO GUARANTEE you will be accepted into the contest if you sign up after August 14 at 5 PM. Late entries (those after August 14) may have to wait for team assignment, and there is no guarantee of team assignment. You could wind up playing with yourself. That could lead to possible blindness, and also handicaps you if team prizes are involved.
You will not be able to enter a deer killed before you are assigned a team. If you wish a deer you've taken be counted for the contest, you must have been assigned to a team prior to the kill. No exceptions.
Under no circumstances will a late entry be accepted after September 30.
The rules will be as before, except that the contest will run from August 15, 2014 to January 31, 2015, and we will have team names this year.[/COLOR] If anyone has an issue with the shorter contest period, start a separate thread. I would consider going into February for good cause, but I think it decreases interest in the contest long before winners are declared and is a negative over-all.
I would also consider a prize structure if there is a clamor, though this has always been a bragging-rights-only affair in the past.
Gentlemen, start your draw cycles...

2.) Swamp Fox - 07/28/2014
Contest Rules, to include the above information:
Here are the rules for this year, modified from the past where I have highlighted. I have the contest ending earlier, and have modified the team selection process as well. Please note the kill-reporting process. For any major problems with the rules or my changes, I am available for duels at dusk with either sabers or pistols...sunrise not so much. Call me lazy, but it's really just good time management.
1) Teams will be drawn at random at 6 PM Eastern Time on August 14. We will shoot for a minimum of three hunters per team. Deadline for signing up for the contest will be 5PM Eastern on the 14th. See previous post for info on late sign-ups. Late sign-ups are discouraged.
2) Each contestant will be able to score one deer, buck or doe.
3) Each contestant will be allow to cull his own deer so as to register his highest-scoring deer in substitution of another deer he might have registered earlier. He will not be allowed to cull for the other members of the team.
4) All contestants must follow the hunting regulations applicable to the area they are hunting.
5) Archery Equipment only. Crossbows welcome if legal in your hunting area.
6) Any deer must be registered with the contest administrator no later than 10 days after the kill. You must have picture proof of your kill. Register your kill by posting a picture in the special contest kill thread we will set up. If you want to post a story with your picture, you can do that in a separate thread if you wish, but all kill registrations must be made in the official contest kill thread. You are responsible for making sure your kill is registered, for providing a score to the administrator when you post your pic, and for making sure that your entry shows up in contest reporting stats.
[COLOR="#FF0000"]7) Contest dates are from Aug. 15 through January 31.
[/COLOR]Bucks will score 50 points for the kill and 10 points for each point over one inch. NO RING HANGERS. Must be one inch or better to score.
Does will score 100 points. We would like to encourage contestants to shoot a doe rather than an immature buck. Let's let them grow.
[COLOR="#FF0000"]8) You must choose a Team Name as soon as possible after teams are assigned. If you do not choose a team name, one will be chosen for you. It won't be pretty. [/COLOR]

I'm thinking about announcing the contest on social media...Hopefully without offending anyone.
What we need around here are some female hunters so the outrage can go viral and give this puppy a kick in the butt.
Figuratively speaking, of course.

People need to start thinking about their team names...
Prolly would be a good idea to stake out the good ones early to avoid a mob scene.
It's a no-go if everyone wants to be "Team Sparticus"...
(I know a lot of you like movies about gladiators.)
[COLOR="#FF0000"](Remember: if you're on this thread, it is assumed you are in the contest. Spelled that out at the top. If non-players want to podunk about team names, start a new thread, or I will.)[/COLOR]

DParker has agreed to keep score again this year, so we're gonna have some more epic spreadsheets...Don't miss out!...I also know there's a rumor going around that Crookedeye's generous offer of Floyd's toenail clippings as First Prize might be matched by other useful items for the outdoorsman in some of us...
It was the clippings, right? Not just the clippers?
:grin:

Disappoint: to fail to fulfill the expectations or wishes of: to defeat the fulfillment of hopes
Some are incapable of disappointing us. One must meet the requirements first of unfulfilled 'expectations'.

CE, you should name your team The Bow Butlers if Billy will agree.
82.) Swamp Fox - 08/23/2014
Either that or the Butt Bowyers...
83.) Swamp Fox - 08/23/2014
Butt Bowlers?
84.) crookedeye - 08/23/2014
billy just needs to keep showing that pic of that buck he got back in the 60"s..you no the one he was wearing that hat that look like a bucket??
"the bucket heads"
'the bow bucket heads"
"billy and the bucket heads"
"the bucket heads"
'the bow bucket heads"
"billy and the bucket heads"
85.) Swamp Fox - 08/23/2014
Of those choices, I like Billy and the Bucketheads best.
1. It sets Billy apart from The Bucketheads
2. It sounds like y'all could have opened for Blondie. Maybe Dave Edmunds or Peter Gabriel, too.

I don't remember that website, but I'll look again.
I think I'm in the market for a yuppie hammock with a bug net for mid-day at Camp Swampy. I've got the real camping/outfitting gear down pretty well unless I fall into an expedition above timberline somehow...And then I'll prolly have to do some lunges to get in on that...
BTW, it's hot with a capital "F" at Camp Swampy right now. Heat indexes between 103 and 107 all this past week...It'll be cooling down into the 90's in the next few days. Been busted a couple of times, same deal for guests...I think I'll start a [I]Dispatches From Camp Swampy [/I] thread if things don't pick up around here pretty damn soon...

Check one of the other threads, WB. I'll re-post here when I get another second.
I'll get you in one way or another.
There is actually time for latecomers to get in on the contest, and that is covered at the top of this thread.

[I]Late entries will be considered for newcomers this year. However, this will be completely at the contest administrators' discretion. If you are a regular, you don't have a good excuse to sign up late. That is not to say that we can't be bribed. However, if late sign-ups have the whiff of even a smidgeon of corruption, or if they begin to appear to be a pain in the ass, you will be SOL after August 14 at 5PM whether you're a regular or not. That is, there is NO GUARANTEE you will be accepted into the contest if you sign up after August 14 at 5 PM. Late entries (those after August 14) may have to wait for team assignment, and there is no guarantee of team assignment. You could wind up playing with yourself. That could lead to possible blindness, and also handicaps you if team prizes are involved.
You will not be able to enter a deer killed before you are assigned a team. If you wish a deer you've taken be counted for the contest, you must have been assigned to a team prior to the kill. No exceptions.
Under no circumstances will a late entry be accepted after September 30.

Above are the original contest rules for late-coming contestants. Since this became an issue for the esteemed Wild Bob, I am highlighting it in case there are others in the same tub...er, boat...yeah, boat...with him.
If you would like to get in the contest late, write a dollar figure on a piece of paper, fold it in half with your name on the front, and slide it under my door.
