We're back! This is the 5th year of this contest and is bound to be the best. Our friends at Kryptek have put up yet another $750 Gift Certificate towards any of their great lines of gear 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 Place takes a signed copy of Hunting Big Mule Deer.
@camo_deerslayer took top slot with this beauty last year:
For 2nd place, a signed copy of my book Hunting Big Mule Deer: How to Take the Best Buck of Your Life
This is NOT a biggest buck contest, but a "Best Photo" contest. The winning 2020 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 2020 (or after December 10th of 2019--you must be able to prove date of harvest)
5) Between archery season and December 10th, post up your best harvest photo on this thread
6) Must be a Rokslide member to enter your photo of your buck. 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.
