    I'm instituting a Dwayne Jones Award in honor of the blessing which was @SharpEyeSam to this board and all who knew him in real life.

    This is going to go to the person in the contest who is blessed with the biggest scoring buck of the contest (no the bonus buck that counts for 50 doesn't count).

    At the end of the contest I'll PM the winner and request mailing address for the prize.

    Thats pretty cool, Ty. Dwayne sure was a good one! Thanks to BH.com, glad I could call him a true friend. Good memories.

    I think @B Hicks would be the winner. His buck scored 186 and pretty sure that was the biggest entered in this year's contest.

    Thanks for doing this, Ty! Dwayne was such a nice guy. He was one of the ones that wanted to get to know you more than just a forum member.

    Sorry I've been MIA for a bit, @B Hicks is the lucky man. I'll PM him for the address and get the small trophy/plaque ordered to send out. Something we will keep rolling for as long as I can Lord willing do this!

    @Lester also wants to send the winner each year some stuff too...I'll communicate information over to you Tom.

    I've messaged @B Hicks but zero response. Just updating folks. Once I hear from him and can place plaque order made in the name he desires I'll get it shipped out and share image of it. Sounds like Lester is going to also send something.

    @Lester if @B Hicks fails to answer soon we will move on to perhaps presenting this award to the second biggest or perhaps the biggest buck on the winning team (if this I'll keep it going like that then moving forward).

    I do get this but also don't want to just spin wheels here as well. Giving the award to the biggest buck of the winning team is not a bad concept actually.
