event_description: NC BHA’s 1st Annual Trashy Squirrel Hunt: A Hunt for Squirrels and Trash on NC’s Public Lands February 4-16, 2019RulesRules and Regulations set for the 2018-19 season by the North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission (NCWRC) must be adhered to at all times by everyone.RSVP Below to register your districtCompeting teams are defined by the NCWRC’s nine districts (shown here)Participants may hunt and clean on ANY public land (federally managed or state owned) and all points accrued will contribute to the participant’s team regardless of where the points are obtainedPoints will be awarded via tail-count & poundage with bonus points available for bringing out new hunters & signing up new members to BHA100 points per tail5 points per oz of trash w/ a maximum point value of 500 per single itemBonus of 300 points for each new hunter in the day’s party. An individual can only qualify for the new-hunter bonus for one hunt during the tournament. A new hunter will be defined by an individual that either does not have a hunting license or received their first hunting license for the 2018-19 season. Those participants without a hunting license need only be present for the duration of a hunt and must follow all rules and regulations set by NCWRCBonus of 500 points per new member sign up. The person must become a member of BHA sometime during the dates of the tournament and show proof of membership via receipt (email or screenshot). The new member does not have to participate in a hunt for a team to receive the bonus pointsE.g., Three days into the tournament a group of five participants get together for a morning hunt in the Uwharrie. One of the five in the hunting party is both a new hunter and became a member of BHA the previous evening. During the three-hour hunt the party takes 7 squirrels and 33lbs 8oz of trash. For this hunt the team will receive the following points: 700 (tails) + 536 (trash) + 300 (new hunter) + 500 (new member) = 2,036 points total for the hunt. If that new hunter/member goes on an evening hunt later that day, the team will neither receive the 300 nor the 500 bonus points again. The Honor System will be the guiding principle, but teams will nonetheless have to submit photos proving (1) tail count (at/next to public land signage if possible but not required), (2) a scale readout showing poundage, (3) screenshot/receipt for new members, and/or (4) the new hunter with at least one licensed and experienced hunter in the photo framePhotos are to be submitted to northcarolinabackcoutryhunters.org. Be sure to note your district/team in the subject line and tally your points in the body of the emailONLY squirrels taken and trash removed from Public Lands (State or Federally-managed) will be counted (see Honor System comment above)Use of squirrel dogs is permitted where permitted
