October Photo of the Month

PHOTO OF THE MONTH CONTEST  October 2008
Please enter your favorite photo into our photo of the month contest.

Octobers  Theme....OPEN (your choice)  remember preference goes towards Washington and hunting and fishing.


The photo must have been taken by the entrant, but there is NO time limit set to how long ago the picture was taken. If the category happens to include field photos, they can be taken by someone else as long as it is of the entrant themselves.)
- The photo must pertain to hunting or fishing or the outdoors in some fashion and it must match with the current months theme.
-Photo size MUST be 800x600 pixels or LESS
-2 entries per contestant are allowed per month. If more than 2 entries are submitted the first two elegible ones will be the ones accepted for the contest.
-Entries must be submitted by midnite of the 26th of the current month(September) in order to qualify for that Months contest.
-Photos of Washington material will receive preference in judging as the winner will be posted on the front of a Washington site. Though I am thinking a good Montana or Idaho bull will do this month.
-Previous Photo of the month entries will not be eligible for this months contest
-The winner of the previous months contest is not eligible for the next months contest. (Sorry bowsandhose, you'll have to sit this one out)
-Entries will be accepted or rejected as is, meaning the judges will no longer enhance, or alter images. Resizing is legal if you can talk a moderator into doing it for you.

The photos will be evaluated by a panel of Judges made up of  Boneaddict, Jackelope, Billy the Kid Rock, Huntwa,  Shadow cat Bobcat Tl Bradford, Slenk, and  Sisu.  The winner (NO TIES) will be announced as soon as we come to a majority decision. 

The Winner will have their photo posted on the front page ( I need to confirm if there will be another hat or not this month.)

Remember to be thinking ahead of next months contest!!!   FIELD PHOTOS    Very important with the general season opening up.  Don't forget you bird hunters.  I love good pheasant and chukar shots.
   

New Ideas for the contest:
We are going to start having themes for some of our Photo of the month Contests.  These are not in concrete, but as outlined for now.  Get out there and get those PICS.
January....open
February....Anything with WATER (waterfowl, winter steelheading, scenery, boating, crabbing, Icefishing etc.)
March.....Shed Antlers
April.....Fishing
May.....Turkeys
June......open
July....Landscapes, spring flowers summer hiking trips etc.(wildlife or scenery can be included)
August.......Velvet bucks or bulls
September ...bowhunting/Archery
October....open
November.... Field photos
December.... Winter scenes (wildlife and scenery acceptable...anything winter)

Spent 5 days in the backcountry helping my buddy who had a Peaches Tag. Great time but he was going for Herd Bull or nothing. Couldn"t quite close the deal but got some good photo shots, here is one of them......
