Last year's contest was a huge draw for mule deer hunters and one lucky winner landed some cool Kryptek clothing.
Just got the OK from Kryptek that we're on again for 2017, this time for some great gear from the new Kryptek Altitude Line.
First the rules for posting a qualified 2017 harvest photo:
This is NOT a biggest buck contest, but a "best photo" contest. The winning 2017 photo will be judged on the following criteria and rules:
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? Are the antler tips out of the frame or the hunters head cut off? Or is it a good balance between the buck, 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.
4) Must be a photo of a buck harvested in 2017
5)Between archery season and December 10th, post up your best 2017 harvest photo on this thread
6) One photo per buck only. If you harvest multiple bucks, you can enter one photo for each
7) Also, by posting on this thread, you agree to let Rokslide and Kryptek use any of the photos in promotional material without compensation
8) Any international winner is responsible for border tax, custom fees, excessive postage fees, etc.
As I said last year, I'm including Rokslide members for the judging portion of this contest. Once we close the contest to entries, I'll have members vote on all the photos to narrow down it down to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. I'll probably just run a poll and people can vote on post #. I need a little flexibility on this part as I'm not yet sure how to do it, but I do guarantee you guys will have a vote in this.
Now the best part, here's the Kryptek Altitude clothing for 1st place:
Tora 1/4 Zip Shirt
Tora Pant
Altitude Gloves
and Altitude Ball Cap
This is over $600 bucks in Kryptek Clothing, and in one of the newest most innovative fabrics, so well worth your time to take and post a great photo
You can check out the Kryptek store for more info on other great products: Kryptek Store
We'll also be offering for 2nd place, the ever popular Rokslide Kill Kit
and for 3rd place, a signed copy of my book
Hunting Big Mule Deer: How to Take the Best Buck of Your Life
