I really want to vote for Swede. That’s an extremely cool picture. But this month’s instructions said to include an old piece of gear and there isn’t one. Dang!

Isn't Swede really just an old piece of gear?

I had the same thought as IS, that swedes post doesnt actually fit the criteria. But i voted for him anyway. For obe, his pic is the best. For 2, he never seems to post on these photo contests, and this time he finally did. And for 3, as you pointed out, he himself is an old piece of hunting equipment, so we need to overlook his poor reading comprehension no doubt caused by his advanced age. Vote swede!

On another note, ive noticed that most pics that get transferred to the monthly "time to vote" thread end up getting cut off. Whats the deal there?

Yes I noticed that too. That sucks!

Ok you convinced me… I’m voting for Swede. He probably smells like an old canvas army tent anyway.

Congratulations to Jhg on an excellent photo. It is hard to beat an old 300 Savage in more ways than one.
