Yep, I think a lot of us had fun with this one the last time. There are a few different rules but it is all the same concept. Last time it was Unlimited Attempts- I tightened it up a bit more this time. Plus we didn't have Trophies or a cool T-Shirt that could be won. ;)

Wait a sec... don't you mean FOUR prizes totaling 4250 em$ ? ;)

Also - "SHOT PLACEMENT: Intestines must not be hit."
-Would this be on submitted bear only, and the other two in that hunt could have intestine shots, or does ANY intestine shot disqualify that attempt?

Apparently, my last post got lost.

Therefore again my questions:

1.) there are 8 attempts, but only 4 bears and no improvements allowed - is that really intended? Are the spare attempts only in case you fail to get 3 bears?

2.) what about bait barrels?

3.) is there a chance to exclude an attempt in advance - e.g. If daily mission requires a lynx, it might be tough to get additional 3 Bears in time.

1. BCKidd -almost- always gives us at least two attempts per animal needed for a competition. This is done in case you can't find anything big in your first attempt, or you lose an attempt to a disconnect. It's kind of just having a second chance for each of the animals needed. If you get lucky and, for example, shoot a leaderboard size black bear on your first attempt, you could then use your second "black bear" attempt at a third try for one of the other species. It's up to you how to spend your 8 attempts, but they're there for you to be able to improve your score if your first hunt doesn't go well. You could do a 5 attempts for black bears and one attempt for each of the other bear species if you want. There are no limitations on how to spend your attempts.

2. Bear barrels are always allowed in these bear competitions on the forum. As far as I know, there is no easy way for the host to determine if a bear was attracted to a barrel when it was shot, that information does not appear on the scoresheet. Since a rule against bear barrels can't be properly enforced, it's generally accepted that feeders are allowed.

3. BCKidd generally doesn't allow exceptions and if he did this thread could get painfully confusing. It's difficult enough for him to manually go through every hunt at the end of the competition. One thing you can do however if you have a daily mission that requires a species on one of the competition reserves, is start a multiplayer hunt with a password. It will functionally be a singleplayer hunt since no one can join because of the password, but it won't count as an attempt for this competition because it is a multiplayer game. Keep in mind that the only way BCKidd can confirm that it was a multiplayer hunt and not a single player hunt is if you kill at least one animal. If you start a multiplayer hunt, don't kill anything, then end the hunt, it WILL count as one of your competition entries. Remember to kill something, literally anything, if you want to do it this way. Alternatively, you could just hunt bears at the start of the hunt if you're worried about time, and then do your mission animal after. The three bears must just be harvested in the first 3 hours of the hunt, the hunt can go longer than that and you can kill other animals.
