We’re going be looking for some serious awe factor here so post your ultimate hero shot, be creative. As backdrops you can use sunsets, natural settings, old buildings, etc. We’re talking desktop wall paper, folks.
The photo contest will be judged by our members, in the form of a poll/vote.
After the contest deadline we will allow seven (7) days for the poll/vote to run so every member (Reg status or above) gets a chance to vote.

  :confused: missed this thread some how done got myne plucked and half eat

Mark, we just put the contest up but it looks like you did miss this part.  :wink:

* All submitted photos must have something in the picture that says Fins and Fur and the date taken. Write it on your shirt, your forehead, write it in the dirt, on a piece of paper...it doesn't matter but it must be in the picture.

Since the photo contest was started late there will be an exception made this year… any reg. member that has already posted a picture of their turkey, here on FnF, before or on April 7th will be eligible to enter the best photo contest without a FnF sign and date being in their photo. Even though a picture of their turkey is posted elsewhere to enter the photo contest they must re-post it in this thread.

 :confused: What if your picture doesn't have FNF in it and nobody else posts one? Can that pic still win? I couldn't find ANYTHING in the truck to write with.

shaddragger,

Congrats on your turkey  :highclap:

This year if you killed your turkey and posted a picture of it here at FnF on or before April 7 then yes you can enter the photo contest without the FnF sign and date. By the contest rules and to be fair to all, any entries made after April 7 (unless you had previously posted your kill) will need something in the photo showing the letters FnF and date killed to be eligible to enter the contests, sorry.



P.S. Anyone having questions about the rules or the contests please feel free to pm me, I'll get back to you ASAP.

Thanks,
Chet

Write it in the dirt Shad :laf:

Here is my entry in the FnF 2011 Wild Turkey Photo Contest:

 Hello, today was our youth turkey hunt. We woke up at 4:30 AM and it was pouring rain. Daddy ( bambam)  said he has had good luck hunting in the rain so we got ready and went to our friend Kenny's farm. By the time we got there, it had stopped raining but was cold and really foggy.
  Just as it started to get daylight, we heard a gobble !!  We went to the edge of a small field and set up in an old blind. One side of the roof was starting to fall down but at least we were in the dry.

  Daddy called a couple of times and the gobbler answered and sounded like he was coming closer. Then he stopped gobbling so Daddy quit calling. It wasn't long before he said "There's a turkey " !!  I looked and saw a hen walking along the edge of the field, then we saw a gobbler out in the woods. He was strutting !!  He went behind a big tree and we couldn't see him again. I thought sure he had left but Daddy said he would come back. We waited for what seemed like forever but was really maybe only 15 minutes.

  Suddenly Daddy said " Don't move, he's right here" ! The gobbler had sneaked in right beside us ! I couldn't see him because of a big tree but Daddy said he was strutting. He finally moved out to where I could see him but then Daddy couldn't see him. I asked if I could shoot and he said " as soon as you have a clear shot" .  I shot and he dropped straight down !! 

  He started to flop and Daddy tore out of the blind and grabbed him. After a lot of hugs and high fives we took some pictures and went back to show Kenny. He was happy too and took pictures.   My turkey was 22 pounds, had a 9 1/2 inch beard, and both spurs were 3/4 of an inch. It was a GREAT day !!

Lacie, that's incredible!  Congrats on a big trophy tom!  And good job on not backing out because of the weather.  :yoyo:  :yoyo:

Edited to include an atta boy to Pat!
Congrats to you, 101.  No story, though?  or the measurements?  Looks like a nice bird, and I'm sure it was exciting.  Our season opens next Sat.
