1/5/24 UPDATE: Member voting thread is open here
It's back! Eight years running and just getting better!
Kifaru has upped their game and put up TWO BIG PRIZES for 1st & 2nd Place. It will be winner’s choice (meaning 1st place gets first choice of the Kifaru gear). Check this out!
A Kifaru 8-man Tipi:
Or a A $1,000 Credit in the Kifaru Store (just think, no wife permission needed, just spend it!)
For 3rd place, long-time sponsor Phone Skope stepped up with a great prize package:
-Phone Skope Case
-Phone Skope C3 Optic Adapter
-Phone Skope Lens Cap
-Bino Loops
-Cleaning Cloth
Rounding out 4th place, Iron Will Outfitters is in for a Custom Engraved K2 Ultralight Skinning Knife (review pending from @Jared Bloomgren )
Check out all the 2022 finalists here so you know what we're looking for.
Here is the winner of the 2022 Contest by @NMbackcountry
Rules:
This is NOT a biggest bull contest, but a "best photo" contest. The winning photo will be judged on the following criteria and rules:
*to note you can't enter a photo for someone else. They must enter it themselves (per rules #4-6) , otherwise the guides and those with big families/friend circles would have better odds.
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 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.
4) Must be a photo of a bull harvested fair chase in 2023 (or after December 10th of 2022--you must be able to prove date of harvest)
5) Between archery season and December 10th, post up your best single harvest photo on this thread
6) Must be a Rokslide member to enter your photo. One Photo Per Entry, (multiple photos entries will be deleted without notice). If you harvest multiple bulls, you can enter one photo for each (lucky dog, you!)
7) Also, by posting on this thread, you agree to let Rokslide and Kifaru 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.
Good luck Roksliders!
