The winner was announced this morning and although Tia won the popular vote -- thanks to all of you -- she lost to Ruth Cussak when it went to the judges. Tia said at least it went to another Alaskan.

Guess I'll be looking for a good African PH at SCI this year who wants to trade hunts.

Thanks again to all of you
