Hey Roksliders, it's that time again. In just a few weeks, some bulls will be hitting the ground and we want to see your best photos!
Ryan and I worked with Frank and Aron at Kifaru to arrange for a sweet giveway- a Kifaru 14'R Backpack. This little powerhouse comes in at 2400 CI and "was designed with fast access and comfort while moving in mind. With a full length zipper down the front panel, there’s nothing you can’t get to within seconds. The suspension allows for much more freedom of movement when climbing, drawing a bow or sliding a rifle. "
You can read more here: 14'r (2,400 ci/39.3 liter) – Kifaru Intl. Online Store
We'll also be offering for second place, the ever popular Rokslide Kill Kit!
12-15-17 update, third place will receive a copy of my book, Hunting Big Mule Deer: How to Take the Best Buck of Your Life. If you don't hunt deer, you can choose a shirt from the Rokslide store (current stock only)
So between archery season and December 10th, please post up your best harvest photos on this thread to enter for the Kifaru 14'R and the Rokslide Kill Kit
Myself, Ryan Avery, and Rokslide member Realunlucky will be judging the photos based on the following:
1) WOW Factor. Is it a great photo that grabs the viewer? This takes in lighting, color, uniqueness, etc.
2) Composition- by that I mean the way in which the different parts that make up your photo are arranged- is there too much background, not enough animal? or visa versa? Is the bull's nose cut off the frame? Or is it a good balance between the bull, the hunter, the terrain? (the hunter is not required to appear in the photo.)
3) Size of animal. This doesn't mean biggest animal wins, but if #1 and #2 are equal, we'll chose the bigger animal.
I recommend using a photobucket account or the like to post photos as they'll appear full size on the thread. We won't be offering personal consultations on uploading photos, as you can do a search on Rokslide and find out how to upload.
Also, by posting on this thread, you agree to let Rokslide and Kifaru use any of the photos in promotional material without compensation.
12-17-16 UPDATE. After much tiresome effort by Realunlucky, Ryan Avery, and myself, we've arrived at the three winners! I'm not an elk hunter personally but was way impressed with the hog bulls and good photos on this thread. Thanks everyone. So here we go..
