I've seen a few turkey's in my area during the fall hunting season, so I guess I am in... Are rimfire legal for turkey?

Would anyone like to take a newbie onto their team? I have never been turkey hunting but I am willing and able to put the time in if someone is willing to show me the ropes and put me under their wing so to say. If not I'm going to do my best to get my first ever turkey.
Thanks

I was thinking about this but I don't think it will happen because the teams sizes will most likely be different. Unless we get a multiple of six ( or whatever the team size was last year ) and all the members of your team sign up again. I think we will just do a random team draw again seeing as how it will be to hard to carry over the winning team every year.

Well the answer is the same to you. I'm sure if you ask nicely someone will be willing to show you the ropes or at least point you in the right direction. If you can figure out the general area you would be willing to go hunt and when you would be out then we could give you some better advice. Let me know if you will be joining the contest and feel free to ask me or anyone on here for any help.

Rules
4) The N W T F scoring system will be used for scoring. Please note that if your bird has multiple beards that only the longest one will count and the same thing holds true for the rare multiple spur bird as well.

A suggestion to update Step 3
How to Score Your Wild Turkey
Step 3:
Measure the beard length (a beard must be measured from the center point of the protrusion of the skin to the tip) and convert it to decimal form.
Next, multiply the beard length figure by 2; this is the number of points you receive for the beard length. If you have an atypical bird (multiple beards), measure each beard, convert them to a decimal number, then add those figures together and multiply by two. This is the number of points you receive for your turkey’s beards.
