I'm with GregH on this one. I always hunt alone, but love to talk about my hunting trips. The wife is a good listener, but even she can only take so much. It's great to share the experiences with the folks on here and it's awesome to see others' achievements.
That said, it seems that there are (or at least were on my team) a lot of folks signed up that never communicated after the teams were established. Maybe they didn't get a deer and thats okay, but at least let us know your hunting/trying.

The HNI contest only changes one thing for me. It gives me a chance to share hunting stories, successful or not, with the good people on this forum. It seems to make my loner style of hunting not so lonely, if that makes any sense.
