Good job guys   I hope we can do this again next year

That was the good thing about the random birds. No one knows how to win or what birds to pick. When I hit the first random number for mallard and 10 popped up I though dang! Some people are going to be wishing they posted more mallards. Also the coots!!!! Man a guy that blasted a lot of coots and mallards this year could have won it hands down. The guy who won did indeed blast a lot of mallards

Mallards should be a fixed number.  They have the largest numbers and easiest to shoot / harvest for most.  Some areas shoot 95% mallards!  Even in diver laden areas, find a few pot holes or marshy areas and you will still pull green.

The board was really spread with a ton of different birds this year. It could have went that mallards weree worth 1 point instead of 10. That's the thing with random numbers. No one has a chance to pic birds that they already know the points for. Some people just don't have the chance to shoot anything but mallards. So it all comes down to luck of the draw.

hey carp.. I like the random numbers.. so that way everyone has a chance... but what if you did the random drawing at the beginning of the year, so that way people can still adjust what they shoot based on numbers... you could hunt different area's and things like that? its still random, but people can prepare for it some..

I understand what you are thinking. I still think people might be able to win just knowing what the birds score. Say we did it before the season opens and mallards came up with 10 points. Do you know how many people would turn in 5 days with 7 greenheads There would be like a 20 way tie I think the more random it is the better chance for a random winner then a planned winner.

I like the random pick after the pic are posted also

[carpsniperg2]

Heck there was only a fet coots on the board. someone that just went out and blasted a bunch of them could have won this year

dr.derek everyone is welcome and we would be happy to have you join in. The permits came super late so a lot guys did not end up saving pic's and playing. Next year we hope to get them a lot sooner

Im shooting nothing but coots next year I still think that the one that shoots the most coots should win a free hunt with bear paw outfitters

You can't loose that way.  What's the limit 25 coot per day.  That would be 125 total coot you could shoot for the contest if you shot limits.

Well what happens if the coots turn out to be worth 1 point? then that's a total of 125pts and a perfect score is 350 so sure you could still loose
