So......who won?

JW

We all did whether you harvested a bird or not. I sit back and look at all the Team posts and the interaction between team mebers and I am just amazed. New people met new people and because of this contest several years ago I hunted with a fellow poster here and had a great time! That would not have been possible without it!

So does it really matter - after all turkey hutning is you vs the bird!

younggun308

Yes JW, it does matter, although it is great like you said with all the people who met each other and whatnot, all that wouldn't have happened unless there was a competition, and a goal, and the goal is, to win the contest, so I believe that all people would like to see who won, the curiousity of wanting to know who won, is nothing to attack, like you just did.
If you don't want to see who won, that's your issue, I do, have a nice day.

deerdust

There are still scores coming in from team members who have been on trips around the country. We will give it just a bit longer for all folks to get home and get their scores to their team captains. Then I will tally the scores and let everyone know which team has the highest overall score.

As JW said, "We are all winners though"!

JW

Well Younggun I do understand where you are coming from - sorry if I offended. Each of us enter this hutning with different goals in mind and each of us progress through different stages of hunting. Yes I do look at the scores to see where I fit - You are correct it is a contest!

But to me it is easy to see who won - just take a look at any given teams entries and go from there.

Deerdust has itlisted and as he said, more scores are coming in.

You can look at the scores in two ways - one each team has a number in the color red of the best bird harvested per team. Some very nice scores there. Anytime you get a bird over 70 points - you have taken a real nice bird - more than likely a 3 year oold bird or older.

And then look at the team in total number of birds taken per team- BUT - I'll go out on a rope here and say - I am willing to bet Team #1 will be the overall Champion of 2007 HNI Turkey Hunting Contest.
The best Bird to date is on Team #10 - 100.375 points - Wow! Now that bird IMO would go on my wall in an instant!

JW

Strut&Rut

Very interesting season...

Team 1 had the highest total score (1271.5), and a whopping success rate of ~81%. Nice season guys...

However, the team with the highest score per successful hunter went to Team 4, with an average score of 62.5, probably in large part due to a tight range of scores from 54-71. This would appear to be a nice crop of 2 & 3 year old gobblers harvested...

Just wanted to throw that bit in about Team 4---because Team 1 obviously had a few secret weapons. 81% success rate...whew doggie!!

As a request, could we get a post tied to the top, for pics/stories of ALL of the successful hunters (either this season or next, your choice...)? It would be nice to see the season's successes displayed as a dedicated thread, rather than rummaging through about 500 pages of individual Team posts.
