WE HAVE A TIE ON THE TROPHY PHOTO CONTEST!

AH members voted for their favorite trophy photo amongst the 9 finalists... After counting the votes on the thread, it appears that MULE DEER by BRICKBURN would be ahead with 63 votes of ELK by billc with 62 votes. However, after checking that all rules were adhere to, looking for duplicate votes that do not qualify and eliminating the votes of each of the members that were not allowed to vote for themselves, we have a TIE... AGAIN! It's amazing to me that we have a tie for this contest as we had for the last one!

As always I try to be very conscientious and counted and recounted the votes 3 times... Since we have a tie, I will give the opportunity for this count to be challenged until midnight tonight (Pacific Standard Time) in case that I have overlooked something or made an error. After this time, as stated in the rules, "In the case of a tie the winner will be selected by the panel of three judges from the pictures that have tied. The winner will be announced on March 29th, 2011 in this thread.".


Here are the numbers...

Jerome, thanks for bouncing the owners votes. I agree. I should not have voted. My apologies.
I'll do the count too and will probably have to leave it up to the judges.

Congrats everyone, that was an incredible effort by everyone involved to create 15000 plus hits and the most fun you can have on a computer without a gun.

Good luck.
