August 2021 Photo of the Month Contest

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 08 01, 2021 •  [Post 1]

The August 2021 WapitiTalk.com Photo of the Month Contest Theme is: “Camp Chow”. Let’s see what you wild bohemians can do with this one.
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 August 2021 contest is (to be determined).

,,,,,,.

I should win this one,.... great great grandpa and grandma both immigrated from Bohemia, and I have proof of linage! Oh wait maybe the boss is just making a rude reference about our behavior. :lol:


My first elk hunt we ate better at camp than at home.
But I fear I lack a picture of "Camp Chow" that will qualify. Even on slow days I dont cook much at camp,,, Camp is to stuff good calories in my gut and sleep!. We eat well, but I limit cooking, and often cooking or precooked food brought up to camp,,,
As much as I like the smell of a kitchen creating a great meal,, I dont like to carry the smell into the woods.

Well I guess I do have a month of summer left and plan to spent a few days in camps!!!! And maybe cook

Oh man, I've made some killer spreads elk hunting. Last year I fed deep fried halibut and chips to 8 guys. Homemade tartar and all. No photos though. I'll see what I can drum up though. Does it have to be hunting camp or can it just be camp?
I hunt therefore I am. I fish therefore I lie.

When "Camp" is the back of the F150, camp food looks like this... I shot my 2020 bull the next morning.

This is camp chow in northern Pa. Tionesta. Mountain country. Up there we forget about work and celebrate life.

Nope…. Tom cooked it! :lol: He was cooking breakfast in elk camp too. That tells you that either hunting hasn’t started yet or there are 2 bulls hanging.
