Sarah sent me this horrific report from the depths (dregs?) of Georgia where despite their well-fed gaitor population they have too many beavers and are sponsoring a “Kill Contest”. Apparently the local bowman shop owner is going to pay who ever brings in the most tails. The county commisioners are chipping in 500 dollars for the trophy.
“We came up with an idea maybe we could do a contest to where we can get the young folks in our county to be competitive and take the beavers out at a fair and moderate cost to the tax payers,” said Pafford. Bowhunter’s, Pafford’s business only wants the tails as proof of the kill from Friday to May. Commissioners are contributing $500 towards the first place prize.
Buddy Pafford is the driving force between this truly palinesque contest, and is listed as the proud Vice President of the Georgia Hunting and Fishing Association. The only contact information I could find for him/her is here. Vice-President Buddy Pafford 229-686-3393 email linda_pafford2002@yahoo.com.
The commissioners and public works of Berriens county have no emails posted, but are theoretically reachable here.
