I DID IT! I finally published a calender. It was an experience for sure. I made a premium calender, meaning the size is larger and laminated cardstock versus the cheap crap. This project started as a thought to do through Cost-co, who does awesome calenders by the way, then evolved into going through a publishing agency. You might have seen my post in the photography section asking for input and describing what I was doing. I appreciate the input though the calender had a mind of its own. It was enlightening to know the quality of the photo had to be crystal clear and full framed (versus cropped) in order to make the cut when blown up so large. I thought I had some great shots as they look great on here, but at that size imperfections explode.
This project was to help start a fund raiser for my daughter to go to Reno. Obviously Dad put most of the effort in this but it was her idea.....soooooo if you want to support my daughter and help send her to Reno to represent our state on a winning basketball team, and would enjoy a large high quality calender, take a look. Its not the cheapest calender on the planet, but at least you know where the animals came from and the photographer who put it together.

It will hang proudly on the wall.
Ordered!!! :)
-
Are these all bucks from 2010?
-
DANG 6 that was quick. THANK YOU very much. I told Daze (D-bone) and she exploded with joy. I'd hate to be the kids shes playing tonight in practice. LOL She is hyped!
I think its May is from 2008. I was looking for something that had a lot of green in it to offset the colors a bit and May is usually a green month. I didn't have any high quality fawn shots, and actually I like looking at bucks in May to get myself psyched for whats coming. Soooooo I through that pic in. That deer was a runner up to the WDFW cover when the whitetail got chosen along with one other photo. I could have used the big three or a couple other bucks I had, but I wanted that color.
-
WOW AWESUME!! :o :o

Thank you everyone for your support. We just got home from a 3 hour practice and the girls worked hard. They were excited to see if we sold any. Thanks for all the compliments and I hope that you guys enjoy looking at these bucks all year.
-
For some reason, I couldn't get the preview to load. :dunno: I love that buck on the cover, one of my favorites that you've taken. I think I'll have to order one. Is there a deadline, or a supply limit?

on a basketball note, I just had a garbled phone call that said she scored 7 baskets in todays game. I guess they won 37 to 18 or something like that. It was hard to understand her little voice. They are playing up to help prepare them for better competetion. NICE
-
I have always loved the color scheme of this weed. If it was a bigger buck, he's be in a calender. :chuckle:

-
I'm out! YIKES I thought you were ordering it from online. :yike:
-
I'm going to put another order in here shortly for some local fellows. Anyone want me to pick them up one and save on shipping? If you're not local I guess you won't save on shipping, but you'll save on the internet hassle with Lulu.
-
Great calendar Bone, can't believe I missed this thread. Glad I saw it come back up. I ordered a couple... will make a great be-lated X-Mas gift.
-
Just got my two today, very nice Bone.
-
Got my calendar today, all I can say is WOW. This is not your average store bought calendar. Very high quality, and the pics are awesome. Great job. Looks like you have yourself an annual "fund raiser" now!
For those who haven't ordered yet, do so with confidence. You won't be disappointed.
-
THANKS Hyde. I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you like it. I'm pretty stoked about it.
Thank you CMG.
-
You should definetly do this every year. even if you don't have to send your dughter anywhere. it would be some extra money and who doesn't like extra money? heck you could even send yourself some where. i know i would really like one of these calenders every year as i'm sure others would too.
-
Bone,
Got the four in today, very impressed, like said not your normal every day store calendar. Will be looking forward to them next year --- Yes that is a hint.
Joe
-
I guess thats motivation to get my butt out there to find some more big buck Huh. :) Thanks again guys for the support.
-
well one of those calendars is hanging up in my buddies work place, he said everybody is amazed at the quality of the pictures and the overall appearance of the calendar itself.
Joe
-
Thanks Joe!
-
Great calender!! The last time I was in Yakima with my girls for basketball there were a couple of cute girls selling homemade suckers to raise money for their trip to Reno. Was that your kid or part of her team? I hope so as I donated but passed on the suckers.
-
YEP! That was them. VERY COOL MAN! Thank you. I'm not sure how you passed on the suckers. I think they have raised more money from their own parents with a sweet tooth than anything. LOL Thanks for supporting the girls. They're hard to pass up with those wickedly cute smiles.
Check out the buck I just posted. It was in your neck of the woods.
-
Just got the calendar about 10 minutes ago - very cool! Thanks for making this thing; it's really great.
-
I'm glad you liked it. I've been getting lots of positive feedback about the quality of it and the size.
-
How many did you get printed up? I want to post this link to a ton of friends but wanted to make sure you had enought inventory first.
VERY NICE DOUG!!
-
The Lulu link is unlimited. They print them as they are ordered. FOr a couple of the local boys or folks that had trouble with the link, I ordered a few and have been delivering them. They can order as many as they want. MORE THE MERRIER. Thanks Bow4elk for spreading the word!

Good, cuz I just sent it to over 1,300 people with a preamble about raising funds for your daughter's trip. Hopefully it will help! Got to get my own copy on order too. Love the simple, clean layout your chose and the full-bleed images. Super delux man!
-
THANK YOU!
-
I got mine in the mail yesterday and it is very nice. Great job on the pictures and layout.
-
WELCOME KTM and thanks! :hello:
-
That calender must be something Bone....KTM has been a member for over a year and I could not get him to post until he got that calender...way to go. Sorry KTM I had too :chuckle:.
-
Just got the calender in the mail yesterday Bone, great work!
-
got mine after three days of playing tag, very well done, thanks Bone!
-
I'm glad I finally met up with you. Sold the last two I had printed from the second batch today. I'm trying to decide of I want to pick up more or not. The sales kinda shutdown on the link at Lulu. It might be getting too late now to sell anymore with the year already starting. I was hoping Bow4elks message would inspire some more sales but it hasn't yet. I'll need to be a little more on the ball for next year if you guys are interested. Maybe a couple different versions. Mule deer are still my favorite, but maybe a mixed one, a bird or waterfolw one. We'll see if I can come up with some more good shots. I'm pretty happy how this one turned out, and no one can believe how heavy duty it is. Thanks again for your guys support.

-
How many copies have you sold so far bone?
-
Interested?
More like disappointed if you opt not to do so. ;)
-
Bone, I have to say it is undoubtedly the highest quality calendar that I have. I buy somewhere's around 8-10 different calendars each year for home, office, exam rooms and what not and many of even the "good" wildlife calendars are very flimsy compared to this one you put together. I gave one to my Dad for his garage back home as well. I have no doubt I'll be getting whatever you offer again next year. Wouldn't hurt my feeling to see one with some Moose in it..... ;)
-
Bone,
Received my two the other day, Nice! Can't wait to get it hanging on the office wall to share with everyone. Be even better if I could hang Mr. March's picture next to his mount on my wall next Oct.!
-
I believe you can get %20 for the next three days if you type in the code TREASURE305 if anyone still wants a calender and hasn't picked one up yet. I think you can use it once per account.
-
For all of you that helped support DAZE in her basketball dream.....

She went, they saw and they conquered. They won the Championship in their age bracket. A little local team from Washington went down and faced the best that California could throw at them. They faced the girls in the big program that they have developed to feed Stanfords basketball program, and they defeated them. They pounded them on Saturday. We then faced that team again in the championship. After getting trounced they shuffled in several superstars when we faced them in the championship. In the worse officiated game I have ever seen, we beat them in overtime. Daze had the heart of a champion and gave it everything she had. Dad was extremely critical in the previous game, so I am not just saying that because she is my little champ. She along with her team faced the giant and as far as I am concerned beat them in so many ways.

Awesome end to the story. I think my favorite part is the socks she's wearing in the layup pic.
:chuckle:
-
Sweet! Congrats to her!
-
Thats just awesome!!
-
Nothing better than that right there. Awesome thing that you were able to be there for it all.
Joe
-
I am glad to hear they did so well. It looks to me like the layup is going in and she is going to the line for a three point play! Hopefully the officials didn't miss that one.
-
Kick ass!! Congrats to the little lady!
-
I'm a proud Grandpa and want to thank everybody that helped make this possible for Daisy and the other team mates, especially those that got calenders.
-
That's awsome glad everything worked out for u all. So cool....
Mulehunter. :IBCOOL:
-
First time I saw this topic, that is really neat, congrats to all the girls. I couldn't see any other pages of the calendar, but it sounds like everyone liked it, are you going to make a calendar for 2012?
-
Awsome. Gotta feel good to be the "Big Club" teams.
Congrats to her!!!
-
I'm going to try Bearpaw. I think I am going for a couple different options this year, like songbirds, waterfowl, deer and maybe a misc. We'll see how many photos I get though. I got lucky this year with some really nice bucks.
You nailed it Groundhog. Thats exactly what happened, and though we had some iffy officiating at times, they got that one right. Go up strong Daze. I wonder how many times she has heard that.
Thanks everyone. Jack, I'll post a pic of their socks before game one. They changed everyday as thats the part of their uniform they can be crazy on, and leave it up to a bunch of gals to "GO CRAZY"
-
Here are the socks for game one.

If you can only imagine what its like for a 10 year old to walk into a building where there are 52 basketball courts, where 752 teams from across the nation are playing, when to them walking into one of our local tournaments or gyms is a big deal. Even being 6'5 it was intimidating. There were NBA players there with their kids, and the caliber of competetion was something else. HECK, even where we were staying, The Atlantis with a skybridge to the center was UNREAL for me, let alone her. A trip she will NEVER forget.
Her headed to the first game.....
