5. Photo Must be taken within the Current Month.

I think this will substantially reduce the entries....

I have a photo taken 2 weeks ago I was going to enter for one of my guides, or are you thinking October only?

boneaddict · « **Reply #3 on:** October 01, 2012, 07:11:39 AM »

I think it should be THIS FALL or current license year. I hunted in September archery. Does that mean don't enter?

Thanks for Posting your concerns and suggestions!

I have now changed the rules to The Current Hunting Season!

Here's a Northeast Washington Goat that Nick spotted. He's in camp hunting in Utah, so I'll enter it for him. (photo taken through spotting scope)

I shot my limit of grouse and then grabbed a camera. This was the best one of the bunch.

grandpawrichard · « **Reply #7 on:** October 04, 2012, 09:26:58 AM »

I took this out in the woods yesterday while I was hunting.

I don't know if this will count because I no longer hunt with a gun or a bow. I only hunt with my camera. Ever since I had a Heart Attack 3 years ago I have not had the urge to kill another animal and I am afraid to over exert myself dragging it out of the woods alone.

The Doctors have told me that would be a bad idea, so the camera is my way to get into the woods to observe nature.

I'm leaving it up to the Group to decide if I qualify!

Grandpa, if you want to wack a deer with your camera, more power to ya. Impressive to say you got it with a 35mm

I'm going to go with the "when I got there..." portion of this months subject. I liked how the kids posed side by side for one quick shot.

Adding a new element to our hunts this year. Lugging around the camera and the bow and gear is tougher than people think!

Taken yesterday afternoon in a last ditch effort for a muley to show itself.

Had a fun trip into the wilderness! Saw 2 nice bucks 1/3 of a mile outside the boundary

It was a hard choice, but I think this one.

Well....it wasn't exactly what I saw returning home but found a few days later. There is a much longer version of this story but the short story is that I got in a bit of a fight with a 3 point.

BTW, in the end, I won

What you are looking at is the buck track bruise in my leg....

Took this when I was hunting. Early morning, dew/haze lingering.

Is that a glacier bear? That sure get's me excited! Didn't know non-native hunters could hunt Glacier bears. That's about the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Does he have four toes on both front feet? I'd take one of those over a 400+ elk any day of the week. Awesome
