Hunt contests are as serious as bass tournaments, if that helps?
Good hunting. LB

Understood about controlling the vermin pop TRnCO, as well as your contest being a fundraiser. I sit on the board of a 501c3 organization here so I know how important fundraisers are to the community. You must be a decent sort not to expect much out of the contest monetarily.
Leonard, I don't fish at all so I don't understand bass fishing contest mentality. I guess there must be a reason for organizing a contest, in other words, someone must benefit as in the 4-H in TRnCO's case. Are the contests run to raise money for the local Predator hunting organizations? Or is all the entry money put back into the contest itself.....which gets back to my original question as why contests if they aren't considered enjoyable?

It takes a different breed to hunt or fish contests. Yes they enjoy it. Some people dont enjoy it unless they are competeing. Bass fishin became that way for me. I could fish for fun now, but my body wont allow me to fish hard enough to be competitive. If I cant fish the way I want, Im just not interested.

You need to understand, in the first place, that charity is not a motivator, for a hunt contest. That would evoke a "huh"? from everybody involved. It's strictly a macho thing.
Insofar as a learning tool, can't be beat. You find out what works and what doesn't. Forget about enjoyable, it's damned hard work, but there is satisfaction in results. If there are slim results, it's a real downer, hard to explain and it doesn't seem that you get it anyway? I dunno? A lot of people are not interested. Different strokes....
Good hunting. LB

I guess I can understand the competive nature of some folks from afar. I get that much.
Me, I am not so much a competitive guy. I love to hunt and shoot, but I do it mostly for myself. Even when I was competing in High Power rifle matches, I didn't do it to beat the next guy, I did it to beat my own scores from previous matches. So in a sense I competed with myself.
But like you said, different strokes for different folks...

A valid question Leonard and I can see why you might think that.
I actually played football, baseball, and basket ball as a kid. In high school I played football and dabbled in wrestling for two years. I understand the team concept completely.
Competitively speaking, it never bothered me very much if we lost. If I played my own personal best then I was satisified. If we won and I didn't do my best then I was down. Again...competing with myself more or less.
Does this make me a bad team mqate? I guess my team mates would be the judge of that.
Anyhoo, maybe I should try a contest sometime. I might actually find it interesting.

Yes, interesting, from a purely intellectual perspective.
For many people, sports are fiercely competitive and for others, apparently? they just like being outdoors, fresh air, comraderie, etc.
TA must have been quite the athlete; baseball and track, spring sports, at the same time, very hard to do. But, I know, when you attend a school that has 14 boys, they all play.
I used to know this guy from Missouri, (currently living in Kentucky) told me once, he lettered in a dozen sports but I couldn't get over his manicure, polished nails and styled perfection hairdo. An accountant. Yeah, he did all that, but there was no danger of not making the team. lol Right, Tim?
Good hunting. LB
edit: PS some of you guys are going to be hammered by this rain we are getting right now. I have been hearing of twelve feet of snow in the Sierra's and 20" in our local mountains. EEK!

LOL Leonard; As i recall we had a good number of bench warmers at the time. Not bragging but i do have three track records at the school i attended that have never been broken. ( low hurdles, high hurdles, and 880 relay)
Most of the baseball games where held on fri. and the track meets on Sat. As far as makeing training the time was just split in half each day or every-other day. With most of the coaches all they cared about was winning so they would do what they could to keep a player on the team...

Again I don't consider it a loss if I know I did my best. Sometimes winning or losing isn't about points on the board.
Though there is no losing when the stakes are life or death. Out on the street winning is the only option.

This 4-H fund raiser contest that my cousin and I get in every year is not nearly as competetive as the Mid-west contest is, of course, not nearly the entry money involved either. But the fun part about the fund raiser is that bobcats, coyotes, and crows count and they're on a point system. 15 pts. for a cat, 10 for a coyote, and 3 for a crow. Not a whole lot of crows in the area, but enough so that a few of the teams target crows for nearly the whole day. It's a one day event. The coyotes are hunted hard in the area, by grey hound hunters, road hunters, grandma hunters, etc. Everyone hunts them, so not many coyotes are brought in each year. 4 has been the most. Last year 2 coyotes and a cat won. But this kind of contest is more about "fun" than the others. Some of the guys that place in the money don't take the money, instead they donate it back to the cause.
This kind of contest might be more fitting for some that don't feel that they have something to prove to the world.

To answer shooter's question. Under most circumstances and generally speaking:
A moderator of a UBB forum has the ability to edit/move/delete etc. any post in a room of which he is a moderator. His abilities are restricted to that room only of which he is listed as a moderator.
A Global Moderator has that ability throughout the entire forum. As a general rule, he does not use this ability in any room other than the one he is listed as a moderator in. He is a safeguard in the event something needs attention and the regular moderator from that room is out of touch. In most cases he will simply pull the thread for safekeeping till the Moderator from that forum has a chance to decide how he wants it handled.
edited-to correct spelling, for Dan,
and to add the disclaimer of "under most circumstances and generally speaking"

Thanks for the clarification, Randy. But, in the meantime, 49 was promoted just to give him a feel for what it's like to have all that power. Quite a thrill, I'm sure and the kind of personal service you get nowhere else.
Good hunting. LB
