RE: does being in the contest change anything for you?
I've always loved competition. I will competing along with friends that I will gain by being in the contest. It will change nothing for me this year in my attempts to shoot and kill my first mature buck. Has to be a nice buck for me to launch an arrow. The one thing I think the competition will do for me is get me to sit on stand longer so I can help the team out....and that in turn will help me out by increasing my odds.

It's not like there's a lot of money at stake or anything.....No, it doesn't change anything for me save the fact that I have more people to call now when I kill one.

ORIGINAL: mobow No, it doesn't change anything for me save the fact that I have more people to call now when I kill one. Its a great way to meet new folks and share your season and success with other hunters. Its a lot of fun and even though the team I was on finished dismally low last year... I made ten good new friends and had a ball reading about each of their hunts as they happened. |

One of the best phone messages I have ever received was from Beagle,a teammate of mine last 2 years. He had just arrowed a terrific buck in Wisconsin and he left me an adrenaline filled message. However, he did not leave his name and we had never spoke before on the phone so I have no idea who had just given me a call. I thought it was Germ (they have similar accents:)), called him "back" to congratulate him, which he thought I was being a smartass b/c he hadn't gotten one.:D

Just curious if anyone looks at hunting differently being in the contest than you would if you were not in it? That was it for me and the contest. ;) |

PLease don't judge the contest on one team. It has been way more positive then negative for me.

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. ORIGINAL: GregH 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. Disclaimer: I just got home from knee surgery and the drugs haven't worn off yet!
