Do we want 6 bird total scoring? That way you would be able to drop a no score,But I think we got a bunch of turkey thugs here!!! Or do we want 7 bird total scoring, that way if you have guys on your team that kill 3 or 4 turkeys and take their best turkey,every one still must kill a turkey before you get a score. Which seem more fair to me. But we will do what the majority wants so VOTE!!!
Thanks

I went back and re-read it. I think 6 birds would be better as well. Like others have said about the deadbeats part and all would be the only draw back.
Thanks for pointing that out.

I do not believe Mikey means a person can enter a second bird for someone who does not kill one on the team. Each team member can enter a bird for a total of 7 birds per team. Gobblers, jakes, and I assume bearded hens if they were taken legally can be entered. All seven bird scores will be totalled for a team score.

Mike,
I believe 6 birds makes it more of a competition for all teams. Lets face it not everyone will kill a bird and 6 birds allows for leeway for all teams to be competitive.

I like each team member being able to enter one bird. I just worry about getting a deadbeat team member who forgets about the contest..

No I didnt.........Mikey

I voted for 7 birds but how about instead of a goose egg for the person who fails to smack one, they get a dummy score of let's say a 3" beard and 1/4" spurs..... they do dummy scores in bowling to offset the absentee to help the team at least stand a chance against better teams and remain competitive ........

Keep it at 6 *cheers*

I think we should just do, one bird per team member, each team could have up to 7 birds... Unfortunately, it's very possible guys will run into tough luck for the season and struggle to bag a bird and some team members may wind up forgetting about the contest, hopefully those numbers will be relatively even across the teams...

We are going by whatever the results of this poll..So everyone needs to Vote

7 Members...7 birds

I agree with Bob. If this is a TEAM contest then the entire team should participate. Last year's winning team sure would not have won if each team could have dropped a bird. The team won last year because each of their members killed a bird. The team that finished second last year each of their members also killed a bird.

x2 Rickey... 7 team members, 7 birds, one per person... Seems most logical to me...

Cmon guys everyone vote on this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6, take the top six scoring birds on the team. *gobble*
-
one entry per team member, top 6 birds on the team get scored, that adds some competition between actual team members to out do their own team members as well, no body will want to be viewed the low scorer on their team. This will keep people from shooting jakes or bearded hens, just to enter a turkey.

If we have seven team members then we need seven scores. In my opinion, everyones bird deserves to be included. If someone doesnt kill a big tom , thats just part of the competition. I would never tell a team member that they cant include a jake bird. Ans every member deserves to be included if they signed up to be on a team . Someone will surely kill a jake or maybe a tom with a broken beard etc. , but its not right to drop their score out of the list. If you want to do stuff like that then you should also drop the highest score on team . I can assure you that whomever has the high score will be just as disappointed to be knocked out of the team as the person who has low score will be. Whats fair is fair and that is to include all scores, even from those who might get skunked. My two cents, thanks.

Bob,
The point id that every team member is included. However like lonnielou stated the top 6 birds will be counted. This way this allows leeway if one team member doesn't score this season. It will make a fairer contest for all teams. This really isn't a hard concept guys.
-
The fairest thing is to score seven birds, one bird for each member. By dropping one bird it gives the clear advantage to a team that has several members that hunt prime land where birds are not pressured. These guys can be selective on what they kill and wait on multiple bearded birds. Those teams did not win last year because they had a member not kill a bird. They were one bird less than some teams and still almost won. I personally think it equalizes the playing fiels by scoring 7.
-
Obviously there are differences of opinions. Whatever the vote is will be what we will go by. Good luck to all the teams regardless of what it is.
-
I'll gladly take a goose egg for my team so that everyone else's bird counts . Beard , no beard , they all count in my book .
-
Not everyone will kill, if history repeats, itself. Six, would allow each team the luxury, of that possibility w/out the penalty.

I just dont want to see someone kill a bird that they normally wouldnt shoot just because of the contest. I;m sure that I'm missing something here however. This is my first year in the contest, so thats my 1 cents worth.
-
I am assuming a team member can only score one bird. However, after reading the responses there is apparently some confusion regarding how many birds a person can score.
I believe the competition will be much better if we only score one bird per member.
This confusion may be affecting the 6 or 7 scores per team poll as well.... ???

As per the Rules posted in turkey contest2013,one bird per person.....if you dont kill a bird you get a zero,that is why we are asking if you want to drop your lowest score or zero and go with 6 bird total or stay with 7 bird total?
