-Entry Deadline is midnite of the last day of the month in order to qualify for that month's contest.
Sorry for not getting to this sooner, I was busy cow elk hunting in Utah.
FYI - Since seaduckhunter's photo can not be entered, it can be used in future contests.
I will get the poll up to choose this month's winner ASAP.
