Hey talondale congrats on those turkey you just scored last week.... Wink,Wink,Wink

You hit the nail on the head!!

Seeing as how the number of people in this contest has dropped so much since years past, maybe we can suggest keeping the same teams next year? Congrats to team 1, but I am ready to challenge them to a rematch next year. As more hunters want to join the contest, we can add more teams..
Btw, if any of you wanna get together and actually hunt together I'm game to do something like that.

High overall is one of the winning category's so why wouldn't that team get to stay together? This is the best team that I have been on and it just would not be the same without all of you guys that have got us to where we were (are).

As jepco stated I would host any of this teams active members in Iowa, Missouri or Nebraska.

I agree 100% camoK. Total birds is a category. I was hoping that your offer still stood! Lol

I would love to meet up and turkey hunt with you guys. I could reciprocate with flooded timber duck hunts. Our deer and turkey are not much to brag about, but we do have excellent duck hunting.

Sorry guys I could not respond sooner as I worked last night and they decided to take everyone's internet away again..

While I like the concept that is not the way it has every been.. In my opion for what it is worth we are the best team here on HNI! We have reported all our birds in a timely manner.. We did well guys regardless how this goes down.. If that last bird on Team 1 is counted then this is over for me.. I will not be on another team again if this one is called fair play.. The way that bird was suddenly posted raises a lot of questions. When it is set up mainly by your honor.. There was no honor IMO the way that bird all of a sudden became good enough to post as it would make the team win.. I even have to wonder if that bird was even shot this year at all.. As you could clearly see in the picture that bird could not have been taken yesterday.. Let alone this past week as everything is green up this way and I am quite a ways farther north guys..

While no one can say for sure exactly what had happened there. Perhaps next years teams should hold all their birds back and post then as that state's season ends?? It appears that is the way it should be getting done now as there really is no rules on when you post it.. Just make sure you keep the info on the date and time to go with all the information.. I would keep a small note book handy and a file on either your computer or a CD with the pics for back up when posting the birds.. That way all the required info is there for all to see.. Then no team will know how many birds you really have until the last day when every one is posted..

Yes it surely was a great team to be on.. I have also enjoyed being the captain as well. Congrats everyone!!! To bad we could not find a way to get one of our unheard from to post a pic and info up on camokenny's 5 bearded bird and maybe just hide one beard and say anothe big bird was shot..

Hey guys I will probably sign up again next year regardless of how this thing turns out. I hope you guys do as well. Hopefully we can get on same team down the road.

I am still pretty much undecided.. But, if I do decide to and the rules for sand bagging remain the same I can tell you I will not post a single bird until my season runs out on May 31st.. I will make sure that the date and time of kill will be correct and posted how ever..
