I know we have mentioned a few deer contests for 2006 but I want to run an idea by the members of NJH and see if there is any interest. A 1 day deer tournament-2 man teams..
The objective is to take a piece of public land and divide the land into a grid based on the number of teams (if there are 10 teams, the property would be divided into 10 equal parcels). A lottery draw would determine the parcel each team would be required to hunt. There would be 1 day allowed for scouting the parcel and 1 day allowed to hunt the parcel. The team which kills the largest buck or heaviest doe wins the tournament. There will be a late dinner after the hunt and the losing teams will buy dinner for the winning team..
The particulars of the hunt can be worked out but you get the idea. The tournament would be held on a Saturday in mid October at large WMA or State Forest which will be chosen by majority vote of the participants. The scouting can occur the Sunday before the hunt..
What do you think??
