KILL BLOCK INFORMATION

Below is an example of a kill block and how it is to be used once an animal has been harvested. The instructions are  easy to follow and understand. Blocks are made from what many people refer to as a "one by", which is meant to mean a 1" x 1" piece of wood that comes in strips of several different lengths such as 8' and 10' long. However, most of the time, when measured, the size of the wood is usually 3/4" by 3/4", and not a true one inch in size. This will qualify to be used for a kill block. These strips of wood do not cost but a few dollars at any home improvement store, and are very simple to make. Just cut multiple pieces no longer and no less than 3" in length using a skill or table saw. DO NOT paint the blocks as painted blocks will not be accepted. 


Along with the blocks, your team will also need zip ties. These ties must be long enough to go around the animals snout and lower mouth section to hold the kill block securely in the animals mouth. Zip ties must be one piece. The CAN NOT be pieced together with multiple shorter pieces to make a longer one. Many stores sale long zip ties which are plenty long enough to complete the job. There is NO color restriction on zip ties. They can by any color you choose.

NOTICE: PLEASE REFER TO RULES RELATING TO HEAD SHOTS AND DAMAGE TO MUZZLE AREA OF ANIMALS IN THE RULES SECTION AS IT IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO KILL BLOCK USAGE.
