If it is like the 2014 - 2015 season There might not be one.
So what do you HNI Deer Hunters Say?
Will there be enaugh interest, or NOT?
PS You can vote more than one answer, as many as you want.
Be sure that they are how you feel about this.

Since I have only been here for a little bit, year or two. Is there a place I could go to see what the contest is all about, how it runs, and the purpose behind it? It sounds interesting and I seen the Turkey one but being that it was team based and I dont get to pick when I can go hunting, this was a pretty good deterrent for me.

I really don't care at all for contests based on killing game. I never have. I have seen too many shenigans involved with anything from big buck contests, turkey beard contests to coyote shooting contests. I believe hunting contests bring out the worst in people My contest is between me and what ever I am hunting.

I've always enjoyed the contest. I enjoy seeing what everyone gets and just enjoy the competition. But, if it's like it was last year, then I don't really see the point. We need more people to sign up, and more active participants. I hope we get enough interest.

Boca, the same thing can be accomplished simply by having 2015/16 rifle deer photo thread without having a contest. Archery deer photo thread, muzzle loader photo thread etc. All will generate conversation and pictures. Everyone likes to see pictures of deer from successful hunters, not everyone likes to be involved in hunting contests.

All I see is a member giving a great and very simple alternative to see the pictures of deer members take and by doing that it would also eliminate all the work a person has to do to run the contest. It appears after a week that it's about a 50/50 split with a very low number of respondents. Maybe it's just too early in the year for people to think about it and give an answer, although if they are on the site regularly they should easily see the sticky and have the courtesy to answer IMHO. It sure isn't happening though and there have been about 150 views of the question!
