🚨clarification on the rule sheet🚨
Number 14 states “No modifying the weight of animals in anyway. We will not weigh in Wet animals”

We will not weigh in SOAKING wet animals. It will be best to put the heaviest animals inside of trash bags or tubs with lids. If they do get wet, you can blow them off or hang on the rack and drive down the road to dry them out. We understand they will be wet to a certain degree, but they cannot be soaking wet.

FINAL UPDATE
We are still on for Saturday!
We have gotten tons of mixed reviews and feedback. Unfortunately, we cannot control Mother Nature. Everyone’s safety is our #1 priority and that was taken into consideration.

We are going to battle the storm through with everyone that enters. We are so excited to see how this event turns out. 

A special thank you to everyone for being patient and understanding. Stay warm and safe!

🚨 UPDATE 🚨

We are planning to run the hunt this weekend. I’ll post another update after midnight tonight once I see how many teams we end up with.
I had a couple of sponsors call me this morning about this weekend’s hunt. They don’t think it’s worth sponsoring us if we’re going to have fewer teams this year.

• If we have more teams than expected, we’re ON for this weekend please let me know if you're planning to be there this Saturday for in person sign up.
• If we have fewer teams, we will cancel, reschedule, and issue full refunds

TODAY is the LAST day for online registration.
All teams must be signed up and paid by 11:59 PM tonight.
