Official 08 Bow Hunt Contest Thread

[FinsnFur]

Let the festivities begin.

Contest will be broken into two categories and will run from Sept. 15th, 08 through Jan. 12th, 09

Best Photograph
Can be a photo of any bow kill harvested between the dates above. Date stamped photos are a plus. Judging will be on the aww factor of the picture. Meaning either the size of the harvested animal/s, or the setting the pic was in, or overall picture, or all of the above. looking for something that stands out from an ordinary hero shot here.

Largest Whitetail Rack
Will have to be photo'd obviously, but I'll ask that you include something for size reference. A tape measure legible in the pic, measuring the spread, would be best.
Must be a Whitetail dear.
This will be judged on the widest spread, so measure them at their widest point.

• The members will judge the Best Photograph, and the Largest Whitetail Rack will judge itself.
• You don't have to specify which category you want your entry in. It will pretty much dictate that itself.
• All entries must be a registered Fins and Fur member at the time the contest begins. (Sept. 13th 08) Midnight. This way no one is lurking, hops in after a massive kill and runs off with the loot, never to be seen again.
• All entries must be posted in this thread in order to be eligible.
• (NEW for 08) All entered pictures must either be time stamped via the camera, or there must be something in the photo reading "Fins and Fur 08". No photoshopped images.

Prizes
One 1st place winner will be selected for each category.
Prizes are pictured here

Good luck to all

Jim I knew you would come up with some nice prizes 

The calls are made of Zebrawood and are fitted with adjustable tone boards.

I would like to thank HuntnCarve for engraving the calls for this event

Jim Thanks for the hats and decals 

[Bills Custom Calls]

Oh yeah I am guessing the money is coming from the FNF bank

[FinsnFur]

There's 60 bucks in there now. And there's more being sent from a Alscalls auction. If there isn't enough in there to fund the contest in January, I'll foot it.

[weedwalker]

Way to go Al.
I've never seen a one legged deer before. Did he run far after the shot?

[KySongDog]

I've never seen a one legged deer before.

That's called a "pogo stick" deer, they hop like kangaroos.   They're pretty hard to hit when they are jumping up and down like that.

Thanks guy's...unfortunately I had to settle for less so to speak...I had several encounters with much bigger bucks but couldn't seal the deal on them  ...He's a good one though before the orange army hits the field.
