A special thanks to all the non-hunting judges this morning that did a fantastic job: Jason Byers, Kenny Burk, Todd Atkins and Jon Carlin. Also, thanks to Wade Hill and Lance Spivey for calling the finals. Yet again, there was not a single complaint or argument for the day. The sportsmanship from everybody involved was fantastic!
