Since this is a CONTEST thread, please keep comments/congrats to a minimum; : "Wow, Gatehouse, nice 2 point" is an example of an acceptable post..Eventually, such posts will get deleted in the interest of expediency. If you wish to discuss the animals, start other threads. No offence is meant, just it's hard to plow through pages of "nice buck" comments when I try to find entrants etc.
Questions will be answered on this thread.
If anyone would like to donate a prize, please PM me!
Categories will be sorted out once I have prizes sorted out. I'll link to the last contest for a sample of the categories.
