Sucks that this contest is getting to this point. Seems we didn't have this type of problem 4 years ago when this started. Of course back then HNI did not offer any "prize packet" either. I think we should have NO prizes of any sort and just have it be for fun again. Maybe it has just gotten to big too. Makes me second guess wanting to be in it next year and I have been in it every year. I wonder how many other guys will not come back.[&o]

I don't think I would call this guy a poacher or anything. Yes I do think he is lying but that does not mean he poached the deer. Just not someone I would trust.

He clearly said that they had archery deer tags, and were rifle elk hunting at the same time. So in theory, if he did in fact shoot that deer with his rifle, which I guarantee he did judging by the pictures, it is a poached deer. Therefore, he is a poacher. :D

Rammer if that was the case then I agree with you. If they had gun deer tags then not. I made an assumtion and I a probably wrong. He was probably breaking the law with that too because he probably carried the gun and bow at the same time. In WI you can carry a shotgun for say fall turkey hunting as well as a bow for deer. Just do NOT get caught with any shot shells bigger then like either 2's or 4's. I don't remember the exact size. You can NOT in WI carry a rifle and bow at the same time. At least not during the archery season.

Its the same way here. You can hunt during rifle season with your bow and your rifle. During archery only season if you are licensed for a concealed weapon, you can carry a handgun. That is the only exception to the rule. The whole story sounds fishy to me.

Anyone on here still hunting?? Just wondering how it was going.

RE: 36 Official Team PassThru Thread
