The 2024 Hunt Talk NFL Super Bowl bracket event will begin upon week 18 conclusion. Once NFL.com sets the Wildcard bracket. Thanks @Pucky Freak for the update.

This is for the enjoyment factor of the event. The donations are a means to enter the contest and to promote the various organizations and what they do for our wildlife.

A minimum entry of $25 donation placed directly into your choice of wildlife organization / conservation cause! When you place your completed bracket, add the name and a link to the organization you are promoting!

Depending on the quantity of players, a 1st and 2nd may extend to a 3rd place winner.

My wife and @Dsnow9 have offered the following prizes for place winners:

1st place: A pair of engraved whiskey glasses and two slate coasters. Both glasses and coasters customized with your choice of big game, name, etc.
OR a solid maple 9x12, juice grooved cutting board customized with the above shared options! Front side for cutting, rear side for display with the engraved customized options!

2nd place: A set of four engraved slate wildlife coasters: elk, moose, mule deer, and trout.

LAST PLACE: That's right! I have a chance to win something! Donated by @Dsnow9 !
One of his famous big game attractant hats is yours if you manage to gain the lowest score of all players!
***In this case, ties go towards the highest points between projected and actual from the few games won to garner last place. Awesome! Haha!

Pictures to follow! Any donations you would like add to sweeten the pot, post em up! This is an opportunity to promote our various conservation organizations!

Once week 18 concludes, the bracket will be completed and released for you to place your entry! Yes, I am placing my own entry as well! :)

For the enjoyment of the games and a tip of the hat towards wildlife conservation organizations with a promotional nod!
Rules in post #2.

  • Entry Fee: Minimum $25 donation towards your choice of Wildlife Organization. (Honor system)
  • Once AFC / NFC Bracket is determined by the NFL, the Hunt Talk bracket will be updated with the teams and presented in this thread and ready for you to complete.
  • Tie-breaker*: For each game listed on the bracket, you will place your winning team name AND your projection of the total points for the game. If you chose the actual winning team, the difference from your projected points and the actual points will be accounted (+ / -) on my super awesome (wife created) excel spreadsheet. This is to determine tie-breaker winners.
  • Tie breaker exception: DSnow9's last place win: Fewest wins is the winner. If tied, the player with the highest difference in projected vs points from the chosen winner(s) wins last place.
  • If you didn't win a single game? You're the winner. If two or more in that boat? We'll cut the hat g
  • In your post with your bracket submission, add the name of the wildlife organization and a link to their site. Add a little tidbit about why you value their focus, if you'd like.
  • Brackets must be submitted via public post by Jan 10th.
  • No edits to your public bracket post after January 10th.
  • After each set of the playoffs, the Wildcard, Divisional, and Championship games, I will post an excel spreadsheet of the Hunt Talk player standings.
  • Superbowl winners will be posted as soon as I am able.
  • Winners are responsible for shipping / handling of prizes unless otherwise shared by the donor.

Design options available: The design is burned onto the backside for presentation and not affected by the cutting, juices, etc. The maple wood holds a strengthened integrity feel and weight. All cured with food friendly mineral oil.

I'm in. Just gotta remember.
 
Week 18 starts 1/5…maybe have brackets due 1/4?? Or start after week 18 concludes??
Thanks - I'm an NFL week early. The NFL bracket event is set for Jan 11-13, Wildcards.
We'll use this promotion thread to gain interest.
All entering: Know any Hunt Talk members that may be interested, pass this thread along.
Once NFL.com determines the wildcards, I'll set the bracket and send reminders to everyone interested.

Always an enjoyable series of events! Some teams still scratching to enter playoffs while others have clinched their ticket!
