Red Rabbit Report post Posted July 19, 2007 It's about time to set up the contest for this year, now that the excitement of the draw results is upon us. The contest was started with MonsterMuleys.com as a way to develop interest in the forums, share our excitement about our coues hunts and show some pics. No entry fees have been required, and any prizes have been donations from the members. Any suggestions regarding the format? Improvements? Are you happy the way it is?
