Yes, I think it is safe to start the voting. Last year I think the entry deadline was the end of January, but we can extend it some this year if people still have entries. The voting will end on the last day of March, and I will have the engraving done on the trophies. The trophies are made, and I will be picking them up later this week. The trophy shop is keeping the front plates that will be engraved when I give them the text for each one. They would rather me pick up the 4 trophies now though, so they aren' t sitting around the shop. I plan to pick them up the same time my 25 pounds of black bear summer sausage is ready to be picked up![8D]

Thanks again to IL_BOW for putting together the web page. He does a great job and I appreciate all your effort! Lets get the rest of your harvests in for this season and let the voting commence... as per Nub' s permission[
