April 2024 WapitiTalk Photo of the Month Contest

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 04 02, 2024 •  [Post 1]

This month’s theme is “Hunting”! Let's see some pics of anything hunting related ;)

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 April 2024 contest is to be determined.

Maybe Ill go with the dog, or waterfowll,or daughters/fids option.


The great Wapiti
Ive had some crazy waterfowl shoots in the real cold. Most shoots were very short. One hunt-22 I had set 3 goose decoys. Hunting out of a pit the steam from the pit was glowing in the sun

A pair dropped in, and killed em both, I was going to set up the dog bed, another pair didn't seem phased by the shots, slipped in 2 shells and dropped that pair too, done maybe 20 seconds apart
