Title: Bow Hunt Contest (Largest Rack)
Post by: FinsnFur on January 14, 2008, 11:32:46 AM
Well, I had to get in touch with a couple of the contestants to get some measurement from the whitetail racks they submitted. There were two entries that were pretty close to the naked eye, and once I got the measurement I was shocked at how close they really were.

Purgatory_Predator_Calls came in with a 14 3/16
and
Steve Criner came in with 14 7/8

A difference of a whopping 11/16 of an inch  :shck:  :whew:

Congratulations Steve, you are the winner of the largest Whitetail rack division of our first annual Bow Hunt Contest.

You sir will be receiving $50 Dollars

Congratulations to both of you.  (Jim, can they spend a "specimen" bill or did you just forget to take that off when you printed it?)

Funny you say that Jerry, when I opened that image up in Adobe photoshop, I got a great big warning window disabling all buttons telling me that I would not be able to print that image.  :laf:
