Announcing the 2009 FnF Bowhunt Contest

Contest will be broken into two categories and will run from Sept. 13th, 09 through Jan. 18th, 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 09) 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.
  • All entered pictures must either be time stamped via the camera, or there must be something in the photo reading "Fins and Fur 09". No photoshopped images.


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

Each first place winner will receive...

  • Either $50.00 cash, or $50 gift card to Cabela's or Basspro. Your choice.
  • A collaborative deer grunt compliments of Bill's Custom Calls and HuntnCarve. (photos not available at the time of this post)
  • A Fins and Fur cap and Decal

Good luck to all :yoyo:

[EDIT] I Forgot to add the fact that Al's Calls wanted to contribute a deer grunt to this also. Sorry Al.
Since we already pick two 1st place winners, one for each category, we'll add a third winner which will be a runner up for both existing categories and will be decided through a member vote.
1 runner up will receive...

  • Either $25 cash, or $25 gift card to Cabela's or Basspro. Your choice.
  • An Alscalls deergrunt
  • Your choice of Fins and Fur Cap or Decal

My contest Entry
Well somone has to get this contest going
Got a chance to be in the right spot at the right time

I had to sneek up on this 8 pointer and as I waited for him to turn for the perfect shot dark wasn't to far away,as he fed his way towards me he turned and was about 20 yards away and the arrow found its mark he ran about 30 yards and down he went right in the briar patch I waited about 10 minutes after all the kicking was over,and went in and drug him out.
I had to work quickly just so there was enough light to get a few pics






He had a 12 3/4 inch spread yep he is a young deer and will be very good eating
Ok folks I dare you to beat me in this contest

I'm gonna give it a try in the morning Bill.  I don't expect much, the weather has been terrible almost every weekend. This has been one of the slowest starts in a long time
