Ryan,
Congrats one the hunt, and the storyI really appreciate it. Those back straps are going to taste great.
Don't worry about the contest it's all for fun and getting to meet new people and shareideas and hopefully learn some things along the way. I have a strong feeling your going to shoot a big'n here in PA, good luck man.
As for being replaced in the contest it doesn't matter to me, like I stated it's all for fun, getting to meet new people and create those friendships. You don't need to leave if you don't want to, it's up to you.
Take care and good luck hunting in PA.
Brian
