PHOTO OF THE MONTH CONTEST May 2009
Please enter your favorite photo into our photo of the month contest.

COMBO TOPIC THIS MONTH ............. Either Fishing or Turkeys! I decided to combine the two for more interest or variation. We'll see what we come up with for next month. In light of all the bear turd piles lately.......LOL Ok maybe not.

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 Most violated rule
-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 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.
-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.
-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 all the moderators. 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

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.

Here's a spring trout pic. When I was a kid I used to keep my trout in the grass while I fished. They dried up a bit, but they still tasted good for supper. I still love the smell of trout on my hands. Brings back memories of simpler days.

The Toms of Twisp

Taken here in Washington last spring in the Methow, near the Twisp River.

These toms were fighting, or perhaps mock fighting. It was just alot of pushing and shoving, each trying to get the advantage of leverage by getting as firm a hold as possible on the other's beak/head. This went on for quite some time, but they got a bit nervous about me being there, and gradually moved away, back in to the trees.

Thank you, Boneaddict. Thanks, WDFW-SUX. Your interest & comments are appreciated.
It should still look clear & crisp even if shown quite a bit larger, but I didn't want to break the "most violated rule", so I kept it under 800 pixels. Let me know if there's any place here on the forum where it would be appropriate to display at a larger size.

boneaddict · « **Reply #16 on:** May 02, 2009, 07:27:59 PM »

Post it in the Turkey forum. We do try to downsize them for the dial up users, and I know what you mean. I shrink all of mine and some are just hammered.

Here are a couple fishing pics. One from this year and one of the family from last year.

This not my picture but Popes, it is too cool not to post, hope Pope is ok with me posting it..... I'm making a poster out of it to hang up in my office... I just love the detail of my newly found favorite fish, looks like this could be a cover of a book or something, a good looking dude in photo too I might add...

Pathfinder101 · « **Reply #30 on:** May 07, 2009, 10:31:17 PM »

That is a great pic. That fish looks like he can't believe what is happening to him...

a little late but if you look real close this buck was happy to see me the white on my pants is not part of the camo or my own

CoryTDF · « **Reply #32 on:** May 16, 2009, 09:05:06 AM »

Just a fun family fishing trip. This was my first daddy/daughter fish. She had a great time even in the rain. I took her salmon fishing the other day and it is official she loves fish! anyway she is a great fishing partner and a wonderful daughter.

Cory, that picture is priceless. Its too bad you were the winner last month as that was a contender for sure as well.
CONGRATULATIONS TOM, first month on the forum and you scored the winning picture for the May Photo of the Month. Way to capture the action of those toms. Tom's toms take it this month. Thanks again everyone for sharing your photos.

Thank you, everyone . . . it's an honor. There were many great images here. I especially enjoyed all the photos of kids fishing. Its great to see kids excited about "consumptive" sports. Thanks again - I'm glad to be able to share my photos with you all.
