Archery Photo Contest Winners

[Scoot]

Thanks very much to all who contributed in any way to the Archery Photo Contest! We had a lot of people offer up pictures, but we also had people donate prizes and their time as well. Thanks a bunch!

To acknowledge those who offered prizes, I'll post the prizes below with the names of those who offered them. Thanks very much to those who did this- your generosity is appreciated!

Antler plaque mount- DonBo

Wildgame Mini-IR trailcam- Archerysniper

Havalon Piranta Edge knife and Zip Saw- Powerstroke and me

Weekend of ice fishing on LOW for one adult and one or two kids- boar

24" x 36" Custom Hunting map- NorthwoodsMap

HSO stickers, 3 pack of Muzzy MX-3s, folding knife, EBJ hat- Rick and me

Side note #1: You may notice that some of the winners also were people who donated prizes. I assure you this did not impact them being awarded a prize- the judges (I was not a judge) had no idea who donated prizes so their ratings were not impacted by this at all.

Side note #2: Neither HSO nor I is responsible for anything related to these prizes. They're being given for fun and are available due to the generosity of those who donated them. If something is broken, doesn't work like you hoped, falls apart, or doesn't meet your expectations, it's yours and yours to deal with! If that would happen, we suggest an "easy come, easy go" attitude towards dealing with it!

Side note #3: Thanks very much to the HSO member who judged the contest. He, in addition to two buddies of mine, put in their time and expertise to pick the final winners. I won't mention his name, but if he wants to chime in he certainly can so people can thank him for his time and efforts.

So, with all of that in mind, here are your winners!

Hero #1: Prize = Antler Mount donated by DonBo (note: please speak with Don about getting you a mount- he will not be responsible for shipping or any problems that may arise from shipping/getting you the mount when it's done).

Slimgrizzly

Hero #2: Prize = Wildgame Mini IR Trailcam donated by Archerysniper

NorthwoodsMaps

Hero #3: Prize = Havalon Piranta Edge knife (donated by Powerstroke) and a Zip Saw (donated by me).

Jstrommen13

Non-hero #1: Prize = Weekend of ice fishing at Lake of the Woods (note: this trip is for one adult and one or two kids, but there MUST be at least one person less than 17 years old in an effort to encourage kids to fish. He will not be "guiding" you, but you can fish in his house and he'll be fishing nearby and will help to ensure you're in a good spot, all geared up, and ready to roll. Talk to boar about details.)

NelsBells

Non-hero #2: Prize = a custom hunting map donated by Northwoodsmap (map can be ordered through his HSOforum at northwoodsmapping.com)

boar

Non-hero #3: Prize = HSO stickers (donated by Rick) and a 3 pack of Muzzy MX-3s (100 grain), knife, and Eastman's Bowhunting Journal hat (donated by me).

Thanks Scoot for putting together this contest and a big thanks to the judges for selecting our photo. I would also like to thank everyone that donated prizes.

We have been so busy attending my son's wrestling matches the past 3 days that I have not been able to check out this site until now.

My son and I love to ice fish, so we are really excited about the opportunity to go to Lake of the Woods.

boar, I sent you a PM and thanks.

I'll try and come up with a prize to donate for next years photo contest.

Great! I hoped that'd be the case. I hope you guys to up there, have a great time, and catch some fish! I know boar is excited about the opportunity to show you guys some fish. Rumor has it boar even caught a couple fish one time, so maybe you'll get one or two!

Seriously, please take some pics and get us a report after the fishing trip- we'd love to hear how it goes. Good luck!

Thanks eyesonly. The photo was taken during the youth hunt at Ripley. It was his first time doing the youth hunt. We had a great time and hope to get drawn again next year. He is only 14 so hopefully he gets drawn at least one more time.
