PHOTO OF THE MONTH CONTEST September 2008
Please enter your favorite photo into our photo of the month contest.
Septembers Theme....BOWHUNTING/ARCHERY
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 Javman, 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 AND THIS MONTH the winner will RECEIVE A HUNTWA HAT
Remember to be thinking ahead of next months contest!!! OPEN entry

BTW, though I've been fortunate enough to kill over a dozen fully mature bucks, only two had larger bodies than this big 'ol gal.

I was actually surprised with a few of the field photos, they turned out better than I thought ;) I do wish he was 400 though :chuckle: Just playin ;) Bull of a lifetime !
See you should have called me and had Fishing is for fools and I come down, we could have got some awesome photos! :chuckle: Yours are not bad though. I use to hate have buddies take photos of my critters because they always turned out crappy! :bash: (sorry Jon) I had them take a least a roll hoping one would turn out OK, now after some teaching I am getting better photo's of my critters!

Is that in reference to me?? :dunno: And it is tough taking good photos - just start snapping away and make sure you get a ton of different angles as you never know which one will look the best. My caribou we took about 100 - 150 pics of each bull and of my elk alone not counting the packing out pictures or the scenery photos we took 112 pictures of it to make sure we had one or two that worked! Each of the other photos there were about 10 - 15 of each pose or position to get one that looked good - but that's what you gotta do if you want the stuff to turn out right and have some great shots!

November 24, 2005. Martin Firecat, 52 yards in the center of the heart. He went about 50 yards and piled up. I wish he would have ran farther cause he was heading for the truck. He could have at least went 1/2 a mile for me :chuckle:

This was kind of a strange duck I shot a couple of years ago.
Was a spider or a tatoon on the "duck"'s front left leg? :chuckle:
