The other night my friend and I sat on some trails entering some standing corn. Deer came out on his trail. He patiently waited for one of them to get within 20 yds and smoked her. We didn't really have to follow blood as his 100 gr. QAD Exodus hit perfectly where it needed to and the deer only made it 30 yds. Though he got the deer, I think I got a cool shot with the camera on my S3. This, I am submitting for non-hero category, obviously.

Picture out of my stand at Ripley this year, I love the color contrasts.

Thanks to all for the entries. This week is a mess at work (like last week), but I'll try get things moving in the right direction and get some prize winners announced next week.

OK, this is finally coming together. Here's a run down of the prizes I rounded up.

I donated the ScentTote, Jim Gerold (aka. NoWiser) donated the Lansky Bowsharp Blade Sharpener and the two Vexilar hats, DonBo rounded up all of the ScentLok gear (besides the Tote) from the Wildlife Research Center, and Joe and Rick offered offered up the HSO sticker and two $20 gift certificates to the OutdoorProStore. THANKS VERY MUCH TO THE WILDLIFE RESEARCH CENTER, NOWISER, DONBO, RICK, AND JOE FOR HELPING ME OUT WITH THESE DONATIONS!

I will mail out all of the prizes that I have here, except the ScenTote- I'll work with the winner of that to figure out a way to get it to him without either of us having to pay for shipping (if it's possible to do realistically). Joe and Rick have the sticker and gift certificates, so they'll mail them out directly to the winners.

First place, non-hero division: the prize will be the ScentLok Scent Tote.

Second place, non-hero division: Tan Vexilar hat, Scent Killer Body Wash, Scent Killer laundry detergent, and a Scent Free Secrets brochure.

First place, hero division: Lansky Bowsharp Blade Sharpener, black Vexilar hat, HSO sticker, and $20 to the OPS.

Second place, hero division: Scrape Hunting brochure, Scent Killer dryer sheets, Scent Killer anti-perspirant, Scent Killer spray bottle and refill bottle, $20 to OPS.

I'll get the winners posted later today or tomorrow.

Just a reminder about how the prize winners are selected. First, I have nothing to do with the selection. Second, an HSO photo expert was kind enough to go through all of the photos and rank the top three in the hero and non-hero divisions. Next, two buddies of mine who have photography expertise and lots of outdoor hunting experience reviewed the selections and gave their input, making slight tweaks to the selections based on their opinions. Lastly, I went through the prizes I'd acquired and decided to have first and second places in both divisions- I didn't get quite as many prizes this year compared to last year, so I dumped the 3rd place in both divisions. Next year I'll get more prizes earlier, so 1st - 3rd are covered in all three categories (hopefully).

So, with all that covered- here are the prize winners of the 2013 HSO Archery Photo Contest. Congrats to them!!!

First place, non-hero division winner is NoWiser with the pic below.

    • 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.
