IMO this would count as paying your bounty and nothing more would be required. It’s a very generous gesture and I’m grateful you’re stepping up to do it!

If there’s enough bounties (seems unlikely at this point, but I’d be happy to be wrong), would we redistribute the 5 won by @Ben8257? One each to the remaining top 4, with an extra for whoever breaks the tie with me and @DZPoker?
@Ben8257 did win them, so I would defer to him on what he thinks should be done with what he has won but elected not to claim.
Probably a good idea. Not sure about all parts of Virginia, but in farmville deer drives with dogs are legal and it's a blasting show when they jump one. Bucks in particular will often stay bedded until they feel particularly forced to get up, you can really sneak up on them sometimes. Never had one charge on defense, but I know it can happen. I would recommend something small that makes alot of noise in case one ever does decide hes threatened (or she, with a fawn) generally loud noises will spook them off. They are really cool to look at when they're that close.Errr, yes, sample set.
I come across deer constantly on hikes now but last week I practically ran into a buck with a nice rack. Scared the hell out of me when he jumped out of a bush, looked at me like 'what?' and wandered away.
I've switched over to wearing an dayglo orange hoodie on the more scenic trips. Not too worried about hunters, but I know down here in Fairfax they cull the herds pretty heavily and signs have been posted about it even in the local parks in my neighborhood, and better to be safe.

I am keeping mine and Bries Bounties. You guys do whatever you want... If it works for you guys, then go ahead.
OK...here's what I came up with. I took my best shot but if I made any mistakes or anyone feels we should do something differently, please let me know and I'll address!!!
FINAL RESULTS:
@Ben8257 takes back his Bounty and that of @FordPickup92 . He's made a generous offer to not be included in collecting anything beyond that despite killing it!
@Frogzilla has been upholding his offer for a Desjgn Setup to all who lost > 10% via a PM. Also incredibly generous!
@AK Chip has 7x $25 gift card to Desjgn for the Top7. Again, incredibly generous and appreciated by me and I'm sure the rest who will receive! With @Ben8257 declining, that appears to be a gift card to @dmoney , @DZPoker , @Frogzilla , @UnicornFlash , @FordPickup92 , @pacmartine , @JeepologyOffroad.
@ChipEnvy and @ReallyGoodUsername posted early pictures of Bounties but never appear to have actually taken part in the competition so I'm assuming those Bounties are off the table. If @ChipEnvy or @ReallyGoodUsername would still like to offer their Bounties, please let me know and I'll add them back in.
The original plan was for the top5 to keep their own Bounties and pick linear-draft-style for the rest. With @Ben8257 asking to not be included, that means it looks like @dmoney , @DZPoker , @Frogzilla , and @UnicornFlash will draft.
@DZPoker and @dmoney have worked out the tie for 2nd. Awesome work @dmoney and the bouncing back and forth was a huge part of what kept me going!
By my count, we have the below pictured Bounties still in play. I identified who I believe posted each. IF I GOT ANY WRONG PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!! There are now 12 of them by my count with @ChipEnvy and @ReallyGoodUsername added back in during edits! That means the order of selection will be:
1) @dmoney
2) @DZPoker
3) @Frogzilla
4) @UnicornFlash
5) @dmoney
6) @DZPoker
7) @Frogzilla
8) @UnicornFlash
9) @dmoney
10) @DZPoker
11) @Frogzilla
12) @UnicornFlash

I know it was a long post but come on!
!.OK: here's the cliff notes: @Ben8257 has actually made the generous offer to not take part in the draft for the above Bounties despite killing it. He just took his and @FordPickup92's Bounties back. The next four finishers will be keeping their own Bounties as well and picking one-by-one linear-draft-style through the above 10 items. @Frogzilla and @AK Chip have also been exceptionally gracious to the top 8/7 respectively beyond these items!
Above post Edited to include @ReallyGoodUsername 's Bounty at his request!
Here is a photo of the four chips from my set that I have in hand, followed by a post production pic from China. The remaining chips in the set were lost by UPS and are being re-made. I assume as each winner makes a pick, they will PM their address to us. I suspect it will be at least another month or two before I have the entire sets to mail out.
Congratulations to the winners!

I haven’t used it, but I am still logging my weight, food, and exercise daily in a simple spreadsheet I made. If you want some company in @timinater’s doc I can enter there maybe weekly/when I think of it.
And yes, “pumpkin beer” counted as a snack during the competition. I will die on this hill!

I like my sugar with coffee and cream.
You can use something like myfitnesspal to track your weight day over day and it will continue to show the progress. I think you can even go in and put in historical data.
It's also got a good way of tracking meals.
