June 2020 Photo of the Month Contest

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 06 01, 2020 •  [Post 1]

The June 2020 Photo Theme is – "Elk Country”. This should be self explanatory :-).

1. One photo submission allowed per month, per member (yep, MODs may enter a photo also).
2. Photo must relate to the monthly theme (or risk being disqualified).
3. Do not use photo editing software to enhance your photo. Just post the photo as it was taken with your camera, smart phone, trail cam, etc. You may have to resize some photos so they are accepted by the forum software; remember, photos can only be 800X600 pixels "MAX" for our forum.
4. You may use older photos you have on hand, but, do not submit a photo that has won a previous WT photo contest.
5. Any WT member may enter a photo they have taken or star in.
6. Judging – WT members will vote on monthly photo submissions.
7. Contest period will normally end the last day of the month.
8. Winner must contact WapitiTalk1 via PM and provide mailing address for prize (your prize may be sent directly from a WT sponsor or from RJ).
9. Prizes will vary from month to month.
10. All monthly winners will be automatically entered into the "photo of the year" contest.

The prize for the June 2020 contest is (to be determined).

I don't think I've played this one before. Last evening of our hunt, waiting on a herd that we spotted the evening before. They got blown out by some filthy deer hunters just before coming into our area. :P :oops:

I'm sure you have. Anyone that's been there probably recognizes that area. I killed my avatar buck near here and my buck and elk this last year in sight of this picture. I do love that area.

my bow unit for many years in southern CO. I hunted there 5 times and never cut a hair, despite having several opportunities.

this particular draw would be nearly the worst place to shoot one (from a packout standpoint), so I hunted there of course.

I'm surprised nobody has posted an image of kids playing with puppies, in elk country (history tells us that is a winning combination)…. :D
