Of course luck is a big factor since you have to hit a good spawn in at least one or two of your attempts. Also: if a competition uses attempts and there are only a few of them (like in this one: 5), I'm reluctant to start a hunt unless I know I have four or five hours to play - something that doesn't happen all the time, even on weekends. So I guess the phrase "Variety is the spice of life" applies here - I like that you're changing between both options.
What I like is the ease of which hosts can check hunt history. I didn't even grind on this one, other then full 7+ hr hunt times. And that is a plus in my opinion. 8-) Respectfully.

The only drawback to it is the possible loos of a hunt due to elements beyond ones control - So when you put up say 5 attempts, I basically throw 1 out and call it 4 - so in the case I don't have a problem it's like getting bonus - it's all perception but it's my method to dealing with "issues" should they arise.
Yep. me too. I wish I had used attempts more often. That Sitka Cull Comp- drained me. I did nothing but grind and that gets boring after a while. With attempts one needs to plan on when to hunt and for how long they are committed to a hunt. Not simply go out and grind like a madman. :lol: ;) Respect.

Thanks for the comp! Didn't do all that good..started off not bad but couldn't find any good BT. As for the attempts,Didn't David at one time have a start hunt button on one of his comps,so as to use a attempt for the comp you had to click the start attempt and it would subtract the attempt from the allowed until they were used up? That would save on unsubmitted entries.

What I do know is this number - 60/20 - that's the difference between you having 1 attempt left while I have 3 :D ~ fyi` got the boat loaded up to leave Mud Creek, the cat is out of the bag and I'm really falling for a Bouvier :lol:

I do believe so. Not sure if it is still available or what might all be involved in setting that up. Good thought tho'. I'll leave it to Tod to clarify the simplicity of that... if any. Glad you had fun leastwise. Next comp comes up in Feb. Hope to see you there. 8-) Peace.

Score: 145+ (from 140-180 range lol)

After a 6.5 hour hunt yesterday I got a darn good Blacktail that moved me up the ladder! Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring but I'm hoping that I run into a big-fat-bull.
"Patience and perseverance" . . . How true, eh BC? :lol:
