Okay, the voting deadline is over! Congrats to the winners. I already have a trophy for the 2000 viewers choice award, so I would rather set these four trophies up for the other winners. I will make another thread to see what you think of the idea that I have, but I would like to grant huntinfool14 with the HUNTINGBBS YOUTH HUNTER OF THE YEAR AWARD for his great season and two awesome deer. 10 pointer will get the viewers choice award for his buck, and I can have the trophy shop add the numbers " 2002" along with the 2000 on my existing trophy.

I do thank you all for voting for my bear (and/or other critters), but I just don' t feel right having a trophy made for myself. I sincerely hope I don' t offend anybody by that, but I would much rather present the trophy to a great future hunter who more than deserves to be recognized for his seasons success. Any feedback is more than welcome.

I am back up north for three weeks, so I will not be able to have the trophies finished with the engraving until I get back home in mid April. I will ship them out to the winners when I get them done, so hopefully you will see them by the end of April, beginning of May.

Congrats to all on a great season in 2002, and best of luck for the upcoming, 2003 season!!!
