2012 HSO Photo Contest- Archery Pics only please


Scoot

Recommended Posts

This thread is for people to post pictures for the 2012 HSO Photo Contest. I posted rules and info in another thread, which you can see in the link below.

Rules and Regs for 2012 HSO Photo Contest

Prizes are just in the process of being finalized and I'll post them before long so people know what they're competing for.

So, as soon as you have some pics to put up, please do so! Just as a reminder, you can submit three pics per person per category. The two categories are: 1) Hero shot, and 2) Non-hero shot. If you submit more than three pics, your first three pics will be considered.

Get those cameras out and use them! The ND season starts today at noon, so hopefully we can get some pics put up before long. I imagine it'll take a little while for this thread to get added to, but I think it'll happen eventually and snowball towards the middle-end of the season. Most importantly- if you don't have your camera with you and ready to use, you won't get pictures to contribute to the contest! So bring them with and make use of them!!!

Looks like I get to start things off. Here are a couple of hero shots from the mule deer I took last tuesday in the badlands of North Dakota. He was shot at 28 yards. It was my first time there and a lot of fun was had. I absolutely love the DIY hunts and camping in the back country.

Good luck to everyone with the Minnesota opener only a couple days away!

dukhnt-

Can you share the story of how you shot that buck, for those of us dreamers?

Yes, please share the story! However, please do so in a separate thread- we'll try to keep this one reserved for pics and comments on pics. Thanks!

He is getting mounted in velvet. But I am getting a european mount done, not a full shoulder mount. Sometimes you have to compromise with the other half.

I will try to get a story up in the near future. I have lots of pics from the trip. Gotta get caught up at home first. Last week was the hunt and the week before that was a family trip to the Black Hills. So I got behind on a few things. But it was soooo worth it. Scoot-I will start a new thread for the hunting story.

whats a hero pic?

From the rules and regs link at the beginning of the thread...

Each entrant can submit three photos in each of the two categories. Category 1 will be the “Hero Shot” category- this is just as it sounds. Pictures in this category will be of a hunter and an animal he’s successfully taken with is bow and arrow. This can be a “classic hero shot” or something different, but pics of hunters and their harvested game animals will go in this category. Category 2 will be “Non-Hero Shot” and these pictures will include everything that’s not included in the Hero Shot category. Importantly, these pictures must be taken while in the process of archery hunting. They can be anything from sunsets, live deer, live bears, flowers, an old oak tree, a blood trail, etc. You get the idea…

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
