2 Shot Goose Hunt Rules

	Limit: Two people and one guide per team( all of whom must be 18 yrs. of age).
	Pit locations and guides are randomly chosen.
	Each hunter is allowed two shots during the hunt.
	All rules and regulations of the Wyoming Game and Fish Dept. must be adhered to strictly.
	Winning team is determined by the total number of geese killed with the first two shots from each hunter.
	Total weight of the geese will be the tie breaker.
	If a third shot is used to recover any goose wounded by a hunter for scoring with the "Two Shot Scoring," that goose will be disqualified from scoring.
	Any wounded goose recovered without using an additional shot will be counted clean kill.
	A hunter may only fire his own 2 shots and may not fire either of his partner's.
	Any disputes will be handled by the Official Rules Committee and their ruling will be final. No disputes will be heard after the last team has checked in.
	After the fourth shot has been fired, the guide and team must leave the pit immediately with the contest geese to check them in and have them weighed. The pit is then closed to hunters.
	Maximum of two geese per hunter will be scored for the hunt. If a hunter kills more than two, he will choose the two largest for scoring.
	This is a "fair chase" contest, and all geese are to be killed in flight and not on the ground.
	No alcohol allowed in the pits.
	All geese must be in possession when checked in. The guide cannot return for wounded geese.
	Each hunter is responsible for having any dead geese cleaned and removed from the hunt site headquarters.
	Awards are given to the top three teams.
	The hunt must be initiated from the blind, and all shots must be from in the blind. The only exception being: A "second shot" taken outside the blind to recover a wounded goose.
	The hunt will end at 1:00 p.m. sharp.
	Any alternate blinds will be designated during the pre-hunt Guide & Landowner Meeting. Each guide will designate his blind location at that time and the blind cannot be moved.
	Explanation of a blind:

1. No lay down blinds

2. No portable blinds

3. No hay bale blinds

4. Blinds will be large enough to comfortably accommodate both hunters, guide, gear, etc.

5. All hunters and guide will be placed in the same blind.
