Any interest in a longest bird comp while we are on the subject?proof can be a picture of bird beside tape measure with some kind of word scribbled on a piece of paper that cant be copied from google

blackpearl

what way does the list work is that total for each week or have you to reach the numbers over the season.

I'm sure a side comp can be ran for the longest bird. As you said a picture with the gun, tape measure, username, and something like that days newspaper or other form of proof it was shot this year.

If lads want i can run it, but i'll keep the results to myself until the end of the season and announce a winner then. Or if lads prefer i'll stick up a second table with the username and bird length for all to see so lads can try again for a longer one.

It's up to ye lads, it's your competition.

Each week, usually Friday, i'll go back through the pictures posted and after checking they meet the requirements (picture, gun in picture, and piece of paper with username & date on it) i'll mark down what they shot. After tallying up all the users for that week i'll update the table and place them in order of the highest amount for each week.

As the comp goes on the positions will change and then by the end of the comp the person with the highest total amount, wins. If there is a draw i normally go with the person to reach the highest amount first, however after thinking it over that could be a bit unfair as one lad might be able to get more of a certain species than the lad he drew with so (meaning one lad could get up to 80 very quickly then slow off for the rest of the comp, while the lad he drew with slowly builds all season) i'm introducing a point system. I'll assign points to each species. In the case of a draw whomever has the highest point count will win it.

The point system will be known only to me, and for this reason (like every other year) i will not be able to win the comp, but can take part for the craic.

+1, Just hope I can connect with one.

Yup. When placing an entry you post a picture which includes:

A gun in the picture
A piece of paper with your username written on it
The date written on the piece of paper

Then under the picture just write up what is in it. Sometimes the pictures are not clear for either amount or species so if you shot 2 duck, a fox and 3 crows you post the picture and under write:

2 duck
1 fox
3 crows

All this is done so it makes it easier for me to see exactly what you are entering (and i don't have to go PMing lads to verify) and the pictures need the gun because we have had instance where a picture has been taken from the site and photoshopped to place a stick, club, axe, etc. in it. Making it look like we're savages, and that the animal was not humanely/instantly killed.

I've stuck up a poll there lad, so anyone can simply vote and by the time the comp is ready to start we'll have our answer.

so really the point system only comes into it in the event of a draw would i be correct or have i missed it altogether .

will the longest tail comp be run for the 1st or will it be ran for the hole season ? if for the hole season i think a second table would be easyer to work with and be easyer for lads to see who has what lenght bird etc .just my thoughts.

as far as longest bird, id be calling it just for the 1st.just for banter, same as a gun club.
although it could make it unfair for a fella not able to get out on the 1st.
maybe just the weekend?

I'll leave it to yourselves lads. I don't want to make the poll too complicated by adding a load of options, or have the longest tail issue lost in the mixed bag discussion (or vice versa) so whatever ye decide (assuming lads want the comp) will be what we run with.

My own opinion is if it's just for sh*ts and giggles then the weekend sounds fine. If it's something you'd like to run as a comp with a prize then it may be all season.

Can I put my name down? I'm not able to shoot every day or even every weekend but I'll do my best!

i think run it all season be something new again and lads that mighting have a interest in the mixed bag might be interested in this one and it gives everyone a good aul bash at it .

Cass

I've edited the poll as the prevailing view is to run a secondary comp. The options are "All Season" or "First weekend only".

djflawless

Cant redo my vote, but feck it!
im with shotie.run for the season and it will give the lads not into or not able to participate in mixed bag

Cass

Merging two thread to edit poll to allow to vote for longest tail or not and for how long.

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.

can i put my name down to cass.

jellybaby21

I'll have a go if it goes ahead

shotie

draging this back up to the top for lads that mighting have seen it and want to have a bash at it

Cass

Thread for the comp is here. I've closed it until we start and stickied it so no one has to go looking for it.

Cass

Unlike other years i think we should allow entries all season long. IOW no closing date.

Thoughts?
