What is a "professional" turkey hunter ??
it's a shame registration is closed. I could have sponsored a slam dunk team headed east saturday.
They cull them if they arent brutes. And hunt prime private dirt.
One member happens to be the best and luckiest turkey hunter known to man. So this fits him perfectly.
As to the morals of it I see both sides clearly. I have been cheated out of a lot of money by known cheats in bass stuff so there is that- but honestly with the dumbing down of killing turkeys and the hype- (remember the THP crowd measuring the OA length of a bird) this is a logical step in the sport.
No one has to play the stupid game but in this case I dont see the payout as stupid.
And i do love to gamble.
Thanks for posting this @Roanoke - I was clueless on it's existence.
Good Luck if you are entered. I do want to see you modeling that jacket.Send me their phone numbers. We will rendezvous and cull out the largest bird and split the pot. I'll cut you in for a finders fee. I mean after all, the jacket is the perfect color.

For $15,000 it'll be worth it.
Your scenario is exactly what the losers will be envisioning come 6pm.
I have lost a ranger boat on .04 lbs fishing but didnt exactly blame the scales.
Can you imagine the drama on the spur measurements?
I wouldnt want that job.
How is a fish bag going to keep a bird from losing weight?I am in it and looking forward to it....I am packing my king Mack tourney bag with ice and taking it with me if I kill good one he is going directly in the bag and isn't coming out till the scales...Winners are subject to a lie detector and sum big name country music will be playing Saturday night...Not bad for small Greene County...Going to take at least a 23lb bird with a 12 incher.... Also there is the biggest bearded hen for $1000 and the highest scoring multiple bearded Tom for $2500..The Pirates Classic this past weekend had over 70 birds scored and nothing but praise for the organization for what they are doing for the youth....The gave out 10 lifetime hunting license for the top 10 birds and if you already had one you won a shotgun....
Will you get it weighed in time save meat?Drying out I have seen king mackerel tournaments won by .001 of a ounce
Is it ok IF my turkey has extra rocks in its crawl?
Better shoot it with lead the TSS will just pass right throughOR if I shoot it 10 x with TSS... to make it heavier?
That's certainly a valid point.A wet bird will weigh more than a dry bird....
