Hunt Rules

Note: A one shot bow hunt and a one shot pistol hunt will included in the event for 2006. The rules for these hunts are shown below. The rules for the one shot rifle hunt and the past shooters rifle hunt are similar to those from previous years and are also shown below.

One Shot Pistol Hunt Rules – New Shooters 2006

	Hunting participants will be divided into teams of two people. You can select and form your own team. For the hunt, team mates will be hunting together.
	Hunt begins at 7:30 AM or as specifically scheduled.
	Team members alternate the right to shoot every 30 minutes. The initial period is selected by a coin toss. Example: Hunter A hunts from 7:30 AM to 8:00 AM, and then Hunter B hunts from 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM. Then the cycle repeats with Hunter A hunting again at 8:30 AM. If one of the hunters misses, the other hunter continues to hunt without alternating the hunt rights. If a hunter’s stalk has already commenced at the end of the 30 minutes, the hunter is allowed to complete the stalk.
	A missed shot scores as zero. If you fail to fire a shot by 3:00 PM. then that also scores as a zero.
	Shooting can only be done off hand, sitting, prone, using a mono-pod or using a natural support such as a tree or rock. No shooting from the vehicle is permitted or with the use of any non-natural support other than a mono-pod. A wounded animal that can be recovered without firing another shot constitutes a hit. If the wounded animal can only be recovered by firing more shots, then that constitutes a miss. A knife can be used to finish a severely wounded animal without penalty.
	If the animal that is shot at is missed or wounded and not recovered, that constitutes a miss even if the original shot happened to kill another animal by accident.
	If the animal actually shot is of another species than that which is being hunted, that constitutes a miss.
	Keep track of the time that it took you to collect your impala.
	After both hunters finish the competition, that is, two misses, or one miss and one hit, or two hits, hunting can continue for additional species or plains game by paying the normal trophy fees.
	Make sure that you submit your team score by 4:45 PM of that day.
	Remember that the purpose of the hunt is to get an impala with one shot. Sizes of horns or sex are not critical.
	A perfect score for a team will be two hits (X) in a very short time. In case of two or more teams having two hits, we will use the time total to determine the winner.

One Shot Bow Hunt Rules 2006

Hunting participants will be divided into teams of two people. You can select and form your own team. All team members will be hunting individually.

All participants will be hunting from established blinds and will be accompanied by either a PH or a tracker, not another hunter. The blinds will be pre-numbered and assigned to individual hunters by a drawing.

The hunt begins at 7:30 AM and ends at 4:00 PM or as specifically scheduled.

Only shots which mortally wound an animal with one arrow are counted for score.

A missed shot scores as zero. If you fail to release a shot by 4:00 PM. then that also scores as a zero.

A wounded animal that can be recovered without releasing another arrow constitutes a hit. If the wounded animal can only be recovered by releasing more arrows then that constitutes a miss. A knife can be used to finish a severely wounded animal without penalty.

If the animal that is shot at is missed or wounded and not recovered, that constitutes a miss even if the original arrow happened to kill another animal by accident.

If the animal actually killed is of another species than that which is being hunted, that constitutes a miss and the hunter will be responsible for the difference in trophy fee.

Both the hunter and the PH or tracker accompanying the hunter will need to keep track of the time when the animal was killed. If the animal was seriously wounded and had to be finished with a knife, the time of the kill is when it was finished with the knife.

Remember that the purpose of the hunt is to get an animal with one arrow. Sizes of horns or sex are not critical.

The results of the hunt must be reported to the Club President by 5:00 PM of the day of the hunt. Both the hunter and the accompanying PH or tracker must confirm the time when scoring kills were made.

A perfect score for a team will be when each kills an animal through releasing a single arrow. In case of two or more teams having two kills, the winning team will be the one which required the least time total to kill both animals.

Example:

Team Alpha – Hunter A killed an animal at 10:30 AM and Hunter B killed an animal at 11:00 AM. The time for the team is 6 hours and 30 minutes.

Team Delta - Hunter D killed an animal at 10:30 AM and Hunter E killed an animal at 12:00 AM. The time for the team is 7 hours and 30 minutes.

If no team is successful in killing two animals, the team which kills at least one of the animals being hunted in the least time will be the winner.
