Disclaimer:
This contest was started by Arcticbowman (ABM) with the help of Illbowman (IBM). Because of a very busy turn of events it kind of slipped through the cracks. Admin was contactacted by a member about placeing a poll for voting to get this behind us before the 2004 season. As a result
I was asked to set the poll up. I am in no way connected with the contest as I did not enter it this year. Here are the entrys:

RE: Hate to rain on your parade
 

There is suppose to be at least 2 catagories. Biggest buck by score, and viewers choice are 2. Is this the choice vote?[&:]

RE: Hate to rain on your parade
 

I didn't want to be the one to burst the bubble nub.

But the 2 biggest bucks were supposed to be 1st and 2nd and the viewers choice was supposed to be voted on from the remainder.

RE: Hate to rain on your parade
 

I think its safe to say we can probably take away the votes for "no laces" and kcison. Let thier scores determine 1, 2. Unless of course theres other entries.[&:] Could get confusing.

Any idea what happened to the thropies?[>:]:D

RE: Hate to rain on your parade
 

We can certainly crown the champs however it was supposed to be. From the voting that has already taken place it is easy to see the #1 and #2 bucks. If the viewers choice was to be picked from the remaining that also is looking like a clear winner.

As to what happened to the original voting and trophies I don't know. I've watched post about the Moderators Cup continue to fall off the board time and time again. I figured if nothing else we could at least put it to a vote. Pay tribute to some magnificent animals and crown a winner.

RE: Hate to rain on your parade
 

The trophies were being taken care of by Artic.

I tried sending him an email a couple of weeks ago and got no response. So if somebody knows how to get a hold of him to ask about it, give it a shot.

RE: Hate to rain on your parade
 

IBM, you should have recieved a PM concerning this, if not let me know.

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

You can get in touch with him at http://www.tookallourmoneyandrantoan...rophyshops.com...............[8D]

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Sorry Rack, You can blame that one on me.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with rack envy;)

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

What does kcison's buck score?

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

127"

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Close Rack, only off by 53 and 5/8ths. 180 5/8 official PY. Thanks for getting the pics posted and the poll.

The buck was the largest bow kill in Kentucky for 2003 and one that I'm extremely proud of.

Rack, what did your's measure? Great looking buck.

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

I am glad to see this finally up. Kscion is kicking butt. Congrats[8D]

Also it suprised me to see the low number of votes cast in comparison to hits on the thread.[&:]

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Proablly just people returning to check the voteing out. Adams when you want to end the voteing?

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Biggest buck.

1st. place kcison- 180 5/8 ths

2nd. places Rack- ? can't afford tape measure or boot laces. lol


So we are voting on Viewers Choice?

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

First off I should appologize for not keeping up on this or taking care of it before I went travelling for a few months this summer. I've been on the road, in the bush and away from computers for the majority of the time. We have just returned to Vegas for the winter, and when we were restocking the cabinets with food, I came accross the jar with all the cash for the trophies and thought. "oh %#*@!"

I am back up in Prudhoe Bay at work until the 9th of Sept. and as soon as I get home I will get to a trophy shop and have the trophies made. Since the voting has started, I should be able to wrap everything up in one shot, with engraving and all, and be able to send the trophies off to the winners as soon as I get them back, pending I am still home. I am headed to Oregon for a mulie and elk bowhunt during the 13-18th, then back to the interior of Alaska on the 27th for a moose bowhunt. After that I'm back to work for a few weeks, then back to Vegas around the 20th of October.

This voting is not supposed to include the two largest bucks as they have won the largest buck and runner up award already. The voting should be for the viewers choice, which goes to a different person that those who have already received trophies to "spread the love" I would also like to see if any youth hunters would like to chime in and tell us about their seasons, and we can determine if there is a true "youth hunter of the year" award that needs to be given.

I am torn between starting a new poll specifically for the viewers choice, or taking the top choices from here eliminating the largest two bucks. I'd like for the viewers choice to be more specific to those that are up for the award though, so I am leaning towards a new post.

Thank you to Adams, mdbohunter and all of you that helped keep this going without me being here. Again, I appologize for letting this fall through the cracks, and will pass this responsibility on next year as I doubt I will have much time for it with how busy I have been at work, hunting and travelling.

I will await some feedback before making a new thread, as I would like to see if any of you have other ideas or input. I would like to have voting complete by the 9th of Sept. so I can have the trophies made as soon as I get back to Vegas.

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Start a new thread. Too many wasted votes on rack and kcison. They were clear cut winners and needed no vote anyways. ;)

Welcome back, been wondering about you.[>:]

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Edit:

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Yeppers, I agree witth nub...wait, did I just say that. Wow first time for everthing!!:D

Glad to see you around artic, the last email I sent you was bounced!! Maybe your box was full or something?

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

By all means if you'd like to start a new poll go ahead. My feelings won't be hurt;). Arctic, no worries. I only wish I could be doing what you're doing. I hope you have lots of luck and fun. I'm sorry if the initial voting wasn't what had been originally planned. I was just trying to get the ball rolling. Now that it's rolling let's get a new poll up so the offical winners can be crowned.

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

great pics!

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

I will start a new thread and unlock this thread so it whists away in the night.

IL_BOW, are these all the entries, or are we missing some? I'd like to make sure everybody is included. Also, my [email protected] e-mail is no longer. Our companies merged, so it changed for a short time, then I decided to buy the division of the company that I was working for, so I am solid up here in Prudhoe for a while longer when a half year ago I didn't know if I'd be here any longer.

Whenever you guys are ready for a caribou hunt, let me know!

Thanks too all of you for helping out.

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

I am glad it is going to be revoted on. 80% or so of the votes was for rack and kscion. I dont think determining viewers choice on 20% would have been fair to everyone.

Also is there still VC and VC runner up like what was voted? Or are we dropping VC runner up because there aren't alot of entries? Just trying to get a feel of whats going on is all.

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

I will get back to Vegas on the 9th of Sept. and head straight to a trophy shop. I will see what the cost is for having 3, 4, or 5 trophies made, and see what we can do. I would like to send a trophy off to everyone who put an entry in, but we will have to see. I usually put all the entry money into the trophies and cover the shipping.

Being that we are getting the trophies in Vegas, I think I might be able to get better prices than I did back in Alaska. I will keep you all posted on what we are able to do this year.

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Jerry, I am pretty sure that is all the entries. At one time I had PM'ed every one and I also believe that Adams did also. So I would call it good!!

I actually sent one to your hotmail account...does that one still work?

I also want some dang pictures of your hunts!!

RE: Voteing for 2003 Moderaters Cup
 

Good, we should be able to get the voting done in a couple of weeks then and we can put a close to this year.

Being off the computer for so long, I was over the max limit on space on my hotmail account. I had upwards of 100 e-mails from the moderator e-mail, you guys sure know how to stir up trouble. [8D]

I'll work on pictures soon. I do have pictures from our spring black bear hunt up in my webshots account, but I haven't uploaded the caribou hunt pictures yet. We took 6 earlier this month, and I about had one tonight. Got some great video as well.
