HBC Fall Big Game Contest 2011

[Gateholio]

General Rules:
All entries must be BC wildlife.
All entries MUST be accompanied by a photo, posted on this Contest thread.
All entrants *MUST* be members of HBC no later than Sept 10/2011
All entrants *MUST* be accompanied by a short story of the hunt. Links are acceptable.
All entries must be harvested in a legal manner, as prescribed by BC Wildlife/Hunting Regulations. Tag and HL #'s must be supplied upon demand if there is any questions.
Winners will be determined by random draw
If we include a "scoring" contest, the winners will be determined based on a percentage of the minimum entry score for the species in the BC record book. There is no distinction between weapon choice for this category.
Scorer qualifications:
A COMPETENT scorer will be defined as a person that "knows enough and has scored enough" They can be official scorers, credible taxidermists, or credible members of HBC. A number of HBC members qualify, so if you are in their area, hopefully they can help you out. In the interest of expediency, GREEN scores are fine. if there is a dispute, the entrants need to go to an official scorer, or a scorer that is agreed by me.

Contest ends Dec 31/2011

Hey Gate

I am working on another knife that I can donate

any chance on a category for largest out of province deer?
If not it could go for largest mulie buck by a junior (gotta start these kids off with a good knife)

thanks

[Gateholio]

Thanks Blacktail, your knife donations have been a great (and consistent) addition to the contests!

HBC is for BC, so I think we need to keep the entries in BC, as we always have. I'm not keen on opening the door to Africa, Alberta and USA hunting trips on our little contest...I could see myself going batty with trying to keep track of all that.

Once I get a few prizes organized I can start establishing categories...Stay tuned everyone.

Not a problem bud
As an Ex BC'er of 50 years and long time member here I am always willing to help
would still like it to go to a junior tho

[Gateholio]

We can certainly make it a youth prize, I am sure the winner would be delighted!
