Thanks to everyone who voted for me in the trail camera
contest…unfortunately, your votes didn’t even count! There were some flaws in the way the voting
system was set up, but most all of the contestants played fair for the most
part. One fella apparently thought he
was better than everyone else though and proceeded to register 18+ usernames to
vote for himself in the final hours of the contest and conveniently edge me out
by one vote to take first place. I won’t
go into detail on how I feel about people like that, but it falls in line with how I feel
about trespassers, poachers, and thieves…..
I spoke with the guys that put on the contest throughout the
day and they finally decided to throw out all of the public voting and have an
un-biased panel of judges to select their favorite photos…thus ensuring the
entrants with the best pictures would be awarded the prizes, rather than those
with the most friends voting for them.
The results were just posted earlier today and I managed to
walk away with the 1st place prize!
I’ll be the proud new owner of three new trail cameras that will help to
feed my addiction: a UWay NT50B, a UWay NX50, and a Little Acorn 5210A. That’s close to $750 worth of trail
cameras! I’d venture to say that the
$550 I spent on the Reconyx camera that took those pictures has more than paid
for itself so far.
See the link below for all of the winning photos…some great
pictures for sure!
Chasingame has announced they will be holding another
contest that runs through the summer…for more information see the link below. Time to get the cameras out again in search
of that next “lucky” picture!
