Heya' Brad, I was in that contest as well (elimated in the finals, my buck was Tim Payne #12, of the twenty finalists in the whitetail category). I must say I've voted for your awesome buck myself (even against my own)...it's that nice.
Also, your buck will carry the day as it is...a state record typical! It's also apparent the voting public agrees, it's truly spectacular and deserving. I'm confident any reasonable hunter couldn't help but to vote for it.
On a side note, I not only encourage each of us to support your mighty buck, but challenge anyone to find a more worthy specimen including elk, mule deer, or whitetail that your buck is up against. Grats ahead of time on what must be the thrill of your hunting lifetime!
Enjoy the binocs!
Bo
