Well here it is February 16th and another contest is in the books.
First I’d like to offer thanks to all of you who participated in this years contest. I still believe this contest is great for getting to know other forum members from across the country as well as developing an understanding of the unique challenges whitetail hunters in other parts of the country face.
Secondly I want to congratulate all the successful hunters this year. There were 140 deer entered this year which is really good considering we had 154 participants. That makes this the highest kill per entrant rate this year than in any of the years I’ve been involved in this contest. Additionally the size of the bucks taken seemed to be bigger on a whole this year. There were four 12 pointers, one 11 pointer, nine 10 pointers, six 9 pointers and twenty five 8 pointers entered this year! That's a bunch of really nice head gear! Way to go guys.
This contest had one of the tightest finishes of any in my memory. The difference between first and second place was only two points and there was only two points separating the next 5 teams. Three teams tied for fifth place with 106 points. If this parity trend keeps up we’re going to have to consider implementing tie breaking rules in future contests.
Finishing in third place was Team 7 with 108 points (one ahead of Team 2’s 107 points). Great season guys!
The second place team was my own Team 8 whose members carried my dead weight into second place with a total of 141 points. From a personal standpoint I want to thank my teammates for sharing their seasons with me. I truly enjoyed the ride.
This year’s First Place finisher is Team 5 with an impressive 143 points. Congratulations to @Arrowsquirrel, @Blacksmith, @CajunSlinger, @Chrighton, @cville_bowhunter, @EricS, @HuumanCreed, @Jammintree, @JASmith, @kobudo, @philsanchez76, @Unshackled, @VASteve and @Wirrex! You guys really knocked down a bunch of deer this year. Well done and Congratulations on a total team effort!
Finally, I want to thank @redsquirrel for hosting the contest again this year and letting me keep score again. I look forward to it every year and really enjoy sharing in everyone’s success. Once again I also want to sincerely thank each and every one of you for participating. I hope you found it as enjoyable as I did. I’m already looking forward to sharing the 2023 season with you all.
