    If ya want one. Here is last years thread for those interested. Just do the same this year. Post yer name here and come the time, if the interest is enough, we'll kick it off.

    Might increase some numbers though. Some are too easy got, and might include some deer. Doesn't matter if you cannot fill the table. Wouldn't be much fun if everyone could.

    The lads last year were nearly not getting one either. It was a cluster <insert expletive> . I ordered the trophies when the comp ended. Between loosing my order, taking the money for it twice & having to sort that, then ringing me to tell me the ones i ordered 6 weeks ago (at this stage) were no longer available, and then finally getting the wrong ones delivered i was well pissed, and it looked bad. Not only the trophies, but the constant excuses for someone else's mistakes.

    So this year i'm not going with the names on them. I'll order well in advance, get the title done (you know "Boards.ie Mixed Bag Comp 2014/22015") and have them delivered. Then when the comp is over & the winner is announced i'll bring them to a local engraver to have the name engraved. Well that's the plan.

    looking at last years table the pheasant and woodcock are low maybe up them to 5 or a bit higher as every one (well a lot) are/is going to be shooting/hunting pheasant and woodcock any way come november .just my thoughts

    I'm thinking something along the lines of:

    Game | Amount |
    Pheasant |
    7
    |
    Duck |
    10
    |
    Snipe |
    10
    |
    Woodcock |
    7
    |
    Wood Pigeon |
    25
    |
    Fox |
    10
    |
    Magpie |
    8
    |
    Crow |
    20
    |
    Grey Crow |
    10
    |
    Grey Squirrel |
    3
    |
    Mink |
    3
    |
    Rabbit |
    30
    |
    Doe/Hind |
    3
    |
    Stag/Buck/Prícket |
    5
    |
    Total |
    151
    |


    1. Too much?
    2. Too much of certain species?
    3. Not enough?
    4. Right total, but wrong amounts?


    Also thinking of introducing a point system, but only for certain game. IOW getting a pre-selected species, in any amount, is extra points? No one will know this only me. I'll take part, but be excluded from the prize (like that is a worry based on last years result :D).

    Think 8 deer might be a bit of an ask for most lads on here as most just shoot a couple for their own freezer in the season ...........

    I understand and agree. I normally shoot between 3 to 10 a year.

    However the comp is designed to challenge lads, not give them a target that can be easily filled. Like Dodderanglers's comments on pheasants & woodcock (plus his Boar suggestion). I'm light on foxes, rabbits and duck. So these are a problem for me. I have wild pigs/boar though and plenty of deer. So whats good for one will not be for another.

    It just seems each year it's easier for people to fill certain quotas so my thinking is give everyone something that is a non runner. If they fill the rest, and others do too, then it'll push you to find and fill the hard species. Plus it's all a bit of fun.

    Not that it makes much difference but the total is 151 not 141.

    not having a dig or anything cass .just going by last year final table you can see what quotas where filled by most lads. take rabbits for example only 2 lads filled the quota for them so maybe 30 might be too much id leave them at 15.
    id leave the below at something like you have done, as they where the most filled reached quotas by lads last year
    Pheasant 7
    Duck 10
    Snipe 10
    Woodcock 7

    id leave the rest the same then as last years table as lads found it hard to reach these quotas
    such as below

    Wood Pigeon 15
    Fox 7
    Magpie 8
    Crow 15
    Grey Crow 5
    Grey Squirrel 3
    Mink 3
    Rabbit 15

    im just going on what i seen from last years table .just to note im happy to go with what every the quotas are and cant wait:D just would hate to see lads loose interest half way through.

    Here is my proposal for numbers:

    Pheasant 5
    Duck 7
    Snipe 8
    Woodcock 8

    I wouldn't have great numbers of rabbits and woodpigeon and grey squirrel and I don't shoot deer either but like alot of lads here some will have alot of one and none of the other I suppose.I'm happy with all the rest to be honest.
