PHOTO OF THE MONTH CONTEST August 2008
Please enter your favorite photo into our photo of the month contest.

August's Theme...VELVET lets see those growing antlers.

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(August) 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. (Sorry Pope, 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 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 get a free patch.

Post by: Muleyslyr on July 30, 2008, 01:43:00 PM: Really like Spokane and cohoho's pics. Heck, I like all the velvet pics. Great theme for August.

Although probably not cover photo material, but a good excuse to put up my velvet Whitetail I shot last Archery season. ;)

I think they are pretty good pics with the background and a nice deer to boot. If we could wipe out the guy holding them, they would be near perfect! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Post by: popeshawnpaul on July 31, 2008, 10:02:12 PM: I was looking through some muley slides I took in '01 from the Kaibab...I got a print of a nice buck that is is a 200" buck on the right side, and a 140" buck on the right side. Kind of a crazy nontypical.

I also found a picture from Montana in 1992 that may also be the winner... Damn I missed the wrong month to win the photo contest in July.

But seriously, I'll see if I can scan them and I'm going to add a velvet post next week on Tuesday. Stay tuned. Gotta love 200" of fur.

Post by: javman on August 13, 2008, 09:14:10 PM: Great pics all! Here's my entries from the west side. Saw this group of bucks last Sunday -- the first time I've ever seen more than two blacktail bucks together. There were actually five of them, but I'm not showing a picture of their big brother to anyone until I introduce him to the 'ol ot six :chuckle:

The bull is from last year. Haven't been out enough to get any good elk photos this summer.

I love close encounters with big bulls like that. The bull in the photo was with two smaller ones and he really didn't care that I'd found their hiding place. Right now he's probably a couple miles deep inside the park though :(
