No.

I SIMPLY posed the question to get the pulse of the forum.

Thre's more joking that goes on (and more kudos/atta-boys/congrats/etc...) than you'd ever imagine. Everybody is rooting for everyone....I recall having a WONDERFUL time with it, last year.

It is NOT "serious"...but it IS "competitive" (in a light manner). There's nothing wrong with that.

I am on Team 17 and I see no problem with instituting a doe score. I don't speak for the whole team or anything, but it makes no real difference to me. I leave it up to the powers that be at HNI. Either way it will be another fun contest with plenty of trash talking and back patting.

RE: Mind drivel.......Bowhunting contest
 

YES IT WILL, huntingson. Either way. It's the posts where ANYONE puts up declaring they've "Scored" for their team that I look forward to each and every morning. This would just mean more of them.

RE: Mind drivel.......Bowhunting contest
 

Yes BBM those are some good points


Enter a doe or Buck, does areworth 25 points.

LittleChief I willsay yes the contest matters to most including me. I had a great time and I will be very happy to see 9 other teammates from
Iowa, Kansas, Canada, Ohio, ILLand 1 guy from Idaho;)

I am not saying to change it, just good discussion in the off season:)

RE: Mind drivel.......Bowhunting contest
 

Oh yeah

You're going down this year[8D] I am headed to Ohio to wipe out the population:D

GMMAT,
The question wasn't directed at you. Your opening question was a simple one and, personally, I think you have a great idea. The question was directed more at those who seem to be firmly opposed to the idea. It is labeled as a "Deer Hunting Contest", right?
Of course there's nothing wrong with competition. We're all competitive to some extent. I'd love to shoot a 3D tournament someday soon, and I'd probably enjoy being in this contest. I was just curious about how strongly some people felt about this. For me, when a competition turns serious, it's no longer an enjoyable experience. Again, that's just my opinion. There's absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying serious competition either. It's just not for me. That's why I asked.

RE: Mind drivel.......Bowhunting contest
 

With the new doe regulations this year that is probably possible. On the plus side, the deer here don't get within 20.5 yards and I know you won't shoot past 20[8D]Sorry about your luck.

I am entering my caribou this year anyway. That's a deer right?:D

RE: Mind drivel.......Bowhunting contest
 

I suckat judging distance[8D] I may just fling and arrow at one;)

Nice caribou btw:)

Ohio has new doe regulations? I better read up!!

BTW I had a smokin hot lease I just missed out on[:@] It was a great 50 acers. These wall hanger guys are killing me. They have leaesed a pile of great property.

Germ,
I don't blame you. Teammates in those locations would definitely up your chances at winning.;) I'll only be hunting in Northeast Arkansas, Southeast Missouri and West Tennessee. Not much here to competewith those locations.:D

I really hope you guys aren't mis-understanding me. Anytime you're in a contest, it should mean something to you. I've seen lots of guys, however, who take it to the extreme, and to me, that can be a bad thing.
Personally, I'd like to be a part of this contest, 'cause IKNOW I'm killing deer this year. Where are the rules, anyway?

RE: Mind drivel.......Bowhunting contest
 

Your on my team, I may be writing some software for the contest, don't worry will win;)

I understand 100%, Like I said it means something, but not to point to drive me mad.:D

Here you go
