I didnt win guys, another great photo did!  My pack was the Kifaru Timberline T2 this year.  This next season Ill be running the Kifaru Duplex Timberline 1...

That's too bad, I was pulling for you.

I almost can't believe your photo didn't win... the cover better be damn good!

Think hard.

I'll be really surprised if bearhunter's photo isn't on the cover of the new hunting reg's. It just doesn't get any better than that.

Bearhunter's photo is indeed fantastic, but I think it didn't win because the orientation is wrong for a magazine-style cover.  The photo needed to be portrait (vertical) instead of landscape (horizontal).  Sometimes a landscape photo can still be cropped to fit a cover, but in this instance you'd lose too much by cropping out the sides.

Agreed, bearhunters photo is awesome but I think they would have needed to crop a lot of the nice background and part of the animal out is likely why it didn't get used. It wouldn't surprise me to see them use the whole shot on the inside of the regs though to show off the permit hunt opportunities. I think they put a couple of them in there each year.

Agreed, I saw a bunch of Aron's photo's of James' goat and they are all on the same level...definitely worthy of that.
