Default RE: Penny for my thoughts?? Heres a dollars worth!

My 3rd point and one that several members have also stated in PM's, is I think I'm done with the "contest". I FULLY understand the fun aspect and getting to know others. I've made some great friends through Team-Mates. I know it's not a real competitive thing. But add the words "Contest" and "winners" and "losers" and those of us who are competitive beyond, casually, desire to win. I don't wish to hunt this way in the future. My wins and losses are too individual and personal to put into a "contest".
Bob...I had some time on stand the other day to reflect on this, too. There's a chance I might NOT shoot a buck I otherwise would.....because of the contest. Imagine THAT twist. I think it's usually the other way around. But....I have two tags, here....and I have seen some bucks I'd really like to take ...if given the opportunity. They won't score well (in a lot of people's eyes)....but that's not entering into my thought process. I admit to thinking about the bucks not helping my team that much.....so I've wondered what I'd do if the opportunity presents itself.

I'm gonna think about not entering, myself.
