I'm trying to figure out how come only 16 people voted.
Take off the four that were actually IN the contest and we got twelve voters. :confused:

I pinned the topic, I bumped the thread with a reminder, I put an ad on the front page with flashing text "vote now" and we end up with 12 voters :confused:

Did the contest suck? Not enough interest? Should we have done something different?

Congrats to all participants and all winners.  Any deer killed with a bow is a trophy as far as I am concerned.  A coyote killed with a bow is a special trophy sure nuff.   :congrats: :congrats: :congrats:
