      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Everyone take a few seconds to congratulate Team X on their win in the Bowhunting.com Deer Contest this season.<br />
<br />
For a long time it looked like Team 5 might pull off the never-before-achieved three-peat, but Team X came up steadily, took the lead and held onto it to claim victory.<br />
<br />
It was a very close contest for a long time.  There for quite a while there were four teams within 100 points of each other and it could have been anyone&#039;s game.<br />
<br />
Anyway, congratulations to Team X on their win....<br />
