Another nice one bhw, BUT unfortunately, I can't count it since we called midnight of the 28th as the cut off date for the contest. SO, it shouldn't be of surprise to anyone that Jrb, carried his team right to the top. Jason has had one heck of a year hunting and killing predators, and it's obvious that he works at it. My hats off to him for puttin' the rest of us in our place!! #40fan once again made a good showing, much like last year, but came up short with no help from his team mates. His long range skills, made possible with a serious long rifle, has helped him make a strong showing, but it just wasn't enough to carry the full load of his team. And with plenty of help,I was unable to carrymy teamwell enough to maintain the lead. I'd guess, that purepredator may be a force towatch this coming season, as now he livesin a target richenvironment and will probably have the pieces to the puzzle figured out well enough but this coming fall to be a serious contender.
The theres Rammer, bhw, and crew. Just couldn't put enough fur down to make a run at the end, although they, along with several other board members did put some decent fur numbers on the ground.
What it all comesdown to is mostly time, targets, and dedication to really stack up fur. We're not all in the same boatin any of the threecatagorys. Some of us have plenty of time, but lack dedication. Some of us have time and dedication, but lacktargets. You gotta put all three together if you really want to be a recognized successful predator hunter. BUT by drawing random teams, we just about made the field level. It's the luck of the draw, BUT it made it fun for most of us, I hope.
Now, if you all remember I had mentioned something about some little "prizes" that we had for the top producer and also for all the winning team members. SO..........Johnny, what do we have for the top points man jrbhunter..............We have a very slightly used Phantom PRO-SERIES WR-320 wireless caller system, donated by one of the contest participants who goes by huntnfishak, Thanks Bill, (by the way, Bills' wife Pmed me and to let me know that Bill's job took him away from being able to participate in the contest). Now, IF Jrbhunter doesn't want this for what ever reason, I will also offer up the latest Verminator dvd along with all three Verminatordistress calls as a replacement, AND I will thendo a random drawfrom all who were in the contest, for a recipient of the Phantom caller. AND for the rest of Team #2 participants, I am offering thier choice of one of any of the three Verminator distress calls. I will PM each member for shipping addresses and to find out which call they prefer.
SO here's a picture of the Phantom call. NEXT POST!
