(There will be a 2025 Meatpole thread for your images that aren't contest worthy on the Elk subforum, ( @philos @fngTony @Travis Bertrand @mtnwrunner @Maidenfan539, any time for the meatpole thread guys))
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 it could!
4) Must be a photo of a bull harvested fair chase in 2025 (or after December 10th of 2024--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 contest sponsors 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!
. Honestly first elk hunt in 20 years, I'm stoked and looking forward to it whether I get an animal or not. It's just a bonus to get one, being in the back country for 10 days is where it's at.
