I meant nothing wrong with my post bigc870... I know that getting a bird is only a bonus to a great day out there away from it all. Also we all like hearing the stories going with a day's hunting whether successful or not. We can try to offer some ideas and perhaps help others out whether they are wanted or not.. But, by hearing other's stories they could very well help others that are having a hard time as well. We enjoy hearing from everyone..

Enjoying the outdoors and staying safe is what this whole contest is about.. Now that we are the winning team we will all be on the same team again come next spring.. That is the only reward we really get for winning and yes we have a great team this year.

But, I have really not been on a bad team in these contests either as it is purely for the fun of it. I also enjoy stirring things up a little just to get everyone worked up over the hunt.. It has always been the way I enjoy the team participation which is a big part of it to me..
