Siman08/OH,

I created the contest for several reasons, but primarily in hopes of building a sense of "community" around the site. When folks join a contest, then they begin to get more engaged with the site and that is the primary reason I created it.

So, I obviously would encourage you to join and would not ever consider it to be a "dud" just b/c you did not harvest some monster buck deer. You never know, you may slip up on old mossy horns, or you may just take a few does - regardless, you will be in the woods, hopefully with close family and friends - and THAT is what matters.

Hope that clears it up. Any more questions, do not hesitate to ask. Have a great week!
