Results from the 2009 IDO Turkey Contest

The votes are tallied and the winners of the 2009 IN-DEPTH OUTDOORS TURKEY CONTEST have been decided. First, however, we’d like to congratulate everyone who submitted a photo/story, and everyone else who was a big part of our turkey forum this season. The turkey season alone was a major success for IDO, with an increase in overall participation and traffic, as well as our first hunting video release. We’re growing by leaps and bounds, and none of it could be possible without all of you. IDO Hunting thanks you!

Equally as important, are the wonderful sponsors that we have here, making it possible to even conduct such a contest. They’re outdoors companies we’re proud to be associated with, and we’ve been more than happy with their continued support of In-Depth Outdoors. Please support our sponsors!
