Do you have to mail in your entry form or can you fill it out and pay on pay pal???

Entries can be done online and paid online through pay-pal or by credit card.

Thanks!!

Chance, are you going to put those boys of your on the Mechanical Bull at the Expo that weekend?

I think all the cowboys here on ETHD should get a jackpot going and have a little bucking contest, after all the hogs are weighed in

what if u only have a two man team is that okay do u still get all the buckels and stuff

Yes a two man team is Ok. The winning team gets four buckles no matter what. Good Luck.

Just means that you get to keep one buckle nice and wear the other one ;)

I did not know there was going to be one there but yes I'm sure they will ride it!! Now as for as me I'll bring a good dog that can hold that bucking bull at bay!! ;D

Chance, there may not be a mechanical bull after all, seems the guy that was supposed to bring the machine decided he wanted to charge more for it than originally quoted. They are looking into another company so it may or may not have the bull there. I was really looking forward to the thing. Oh well! :-\

Man that sucks I wanted to show a good bucking machine cow dog off to everyone!! ;D ;D I promise that bull want leave a 15 ft area on that dog!!

has any one got any pictures of the buckles

Aaron go to the tdha website and click on the 2010 contest icon, and then go to the flyer there you will find a good pic of the buckles

  That is one fine looking buckle!!

If you pre register online.....do you have to show up on Friday if so how many team members have to show up?

Waylon

IF YOU MAIL IN YOUR REGISTRATION OR YOU ENTER ON-LINE THERE IS NO REASON TO SHOW UP ON FRIDAY.  THIS IS ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT "PRE-REGISTER".

But remember you cannot start hunting until 5pm.  I promise the polygraph will ask this.

Ron,

   Do you have any idea when the final rules will be in place?   

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, finale rules will be posted in a day or two, we are looking at 2 or 3 small issues that are important and we will have them up.

Thanks,
Paul T

Thanks Paul.   I know some teams don't want to send in their entry fees until the final rules are posted. If they happen in the next few days, that should give those teams close to a week to get their money sent in.

I haven't hunted in this tourney so I have a few questions. I saw on the site your hog can be disqualified if the meat is no good but you want the weight to remain so is everyone field dressing the hogs and placing them on ice? If I get lucky and the 2 boars are still in this location I know of the combined size and weight of these beast will take a truck bed to keep them chilled all weekend, so how do you guys that run this tourney keep the meat good thru the weekend till weigh-in? Give me a little insight, I haven't entered yet but considering it..

Critter Catcher,

    The years that I have hunted the contest, we have always used a walk in cooler to keep the field dressed hogs cold. Then before we head to Hallettsville, we pack the body cavity with ice to ensure that they stay cold.

I will make sure the final rules are posted tomorrow. 

Critter catcher, also some people will catch and tie the hog, then hold in a trailer and wait until sunday morning to dispatch and field dress it.

Paul,
     If you don't mind me asking, what are the 2 or 3 issues that are still not resolved? 

Thanks Ron.

Texa Cur, not issues really, definations and word choice. As Ron said they will be up tomorrow.

i'd have to go with this route.  if the hogs are big enough were you think meat preservation may be an issue save yourself some trouble and just tie em and then dispatch the hog WITH A KNIFE ONLY that morning before you head out. 

Good luck to everyone.

very important there, shot hogs will get you dq'd from the dog and knife contest.
