July 2021 Photo of the Month Contest

The July 2021 WapitiTalk.com Photo of the Month Contest Theme is: “Where the Deer Roam”. Let’s see some pics of deer habitat; any of the sub species are fair game, i.e., whitetail, blacktail, mule deer, etc……. you get the picture ;) .

1. One photo submission allowed per month, per member (yep, stinky 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 appear 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 July 2021 contest is (to be determined).

Bitterroot Montana private land buck. Late season these big mulie bucks come down out of the mountains looking for all of the does that call the valley home. They love the hay fields after living up high all year.

This is a tough one for me. I have visited so much wonderful deer country and taken pictures of much of it. Very few do the spots justice though. I chose this one because it was the place where I feel like my hunting oats were sowed and I learned to truly hunt and pursue deer. I killed several bucks in this ground, and even as a young teenager was turned loose by my Dad to hunt them as I saw fit. I messed up a lot, and also found success learning how to hunt on my own. Enjoy some nice Eastern WY mule deer country. No dead deer, kids, dogs, or women in bikinis to sway votes in this one!
