We're back! This is the third year of this contest and is bound to be the best. Our friends at Kryptek have put up a $750 Gift Certificate for 1st place this year!!!! Just think of hitting the Kryptek Store with a free pass to spend $750 bucks on your gear of choice. That will be you if you win 1st place (2nd and 3rd place are listed at the bottom)
Jordan Kauer (spdrman) took the gold last year with this winning photo:
This is NOT a biggest buck contest, but a "best photo" contest. The winning 2018 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 2018
5) Between archery season and December 10th, post up your best 2018 harvest photo.
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.
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
