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.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

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.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
