February 6th Online Registration Now Open

What an awesome turnout we had for our January 2016 contest.  Total team count was 426.  We paid out $84,250 in prize money to the Big Bobcat and Jackpot winners.  We also gave away some very nice prizes donated by our sponsors.  Be sure to check out their websites or establishments to show your appreciation to them for supporting this contest.

Online registration is now open for anyone wanting to enter the February contest using PayPal.  Teams can still mail in their entry forms with their team’s entry fee, but be sure they get to us BY THURSDAY before the contest.  (Money Order or Cashiers Check ONLY.  No personal checks, please.)  Of course, you can also stop by Field and Streams in San Angelo, Texas any time between now and 12:00 PM on the Saturday of the contest. The entry fee is due when you turn in your entry form.  There are NO REFUNDS.

Online registration will close at 12:00 AM, Monday, February 1st (that is Sunday night / Monday morning), to give us time before the contest to transfer the funds from the PayPal account.

Please do not wait until the last minute to register.  With the contest growing as large as it has been, we simply cannot accommodate all of the requests to get teams registered at the last minute.  We feel that we provide plenty of opportunities to enter (Online, In-Person, By Mail).  The three of us all have jobs, and we try our best to help you guys out, but it is becoming increasingly more difficult to manage all of the last minute requests.  Please do us a favor and enter early.  If you aren’t quite sure who is going to be on your team, read on.

Remember, if you need to make changes to your team members after you’ve turned in your entry form, it MUST be done in writing so that we have a record of it.  An email to info@wtbbc.org is the ONLY acceptable method to add/remove a team member.  Submitting your team change using the Contact Us page is the same as an email.  Your team change request must include all of your original team members’ full names and the name(s) of the person(s) you are adding/removing.

January 2015 WTBBC Announcements

We have a few announcements to make before the contest, since we probably won’t get to see many of you until weigh-in on Sunday.

First and foremost, we would like to thank everyone for entering.  This thing just keeps growing, and it looks like we will surpass our old record of 278 teams.

We will post the final team count and payout totals soon after 12:00 PM on Saturday, once registration has closed and we have all the money counted.  Texting or calling us during that time does not speed up the process.  This information will be posted both on our Facebook page and on www.wtbbc.org, so please check there.

Second, if you haven’t done so already, please contact a local Game Warden from the county in which you will be hunting as a courtesy.  We assure you they will appreciate it, and it may save you some time later on.  You can go to www.tpwd.state.tx.us/warden/ to look up contact information for Game Wardens by county.

We WILL NOT have a dump trailer at Field & Streams on Sunday, so please dispose of your animals responsibly.

There will be 4 random polygraph tests given to the winning teams  All winning teams, including Jackpots, are eligible to be tested.  Any team found to be cheating will be disqualified and banned from future contests.  As always, the judges make the final decision.

If you hunted in the contest, but didn’t qualify for any prize money, please stop by the weigh-in at Field & Streams anyway. We have some really great prizes to give away in our door prize drawing, so come to the stage to get your ticket.

Check out what our sponsors gave us to give away:
