Picture contest vote

Post by Boo »

Please present your vote in list form to make it easy for RJ to tabulate. RJ will only be looking for your number one vote.

I must say that the number of good trophy pictures has increased this year and for that I am very pleased. It certainly was not easy to pick first. RJ's picture is very polished but my vote for first is going to Rich and second to RJ. Smiles are free so throw them in boys, it makes all the difference and shows the joy of the moment! Also for me a gentle hand in holding the deer looks cool. The way Rich and RJ touch the antlers shows a gentle respect rather than lording over a victim. Enough out of me.

2) RJ
3) Desert Rat
4) Uncle Fester (last picture obviously)
5) Mike
6) Ger34
I must make mention about Doe Master's buddy. Doe Master's buddy looks ecstatic which really makes for a phenomenal picture. There are many more that deserve honorable mention. I started to list you guys but the list got stupid long. So I will just say, my hats off to you guys, you did well!
Edit, it is only my first vote that counts. The other five are honorable mention.
Rich, I don't know what to say but you have a very high respect from me and that does not come easy! I admire your honesty!
That being said RJ gets my vote for number one!

Not exactly polished ! .. :lol: :lol: I remember that night ... I was excited to score a buck on my own property ... I put a few calls in to the crew to help with the dragout , but all were tied up ..

The buck dropped in his tracks from the spine shot , but he was in some tangled downfall part of the bush ...

My wife volunteered to support ... we drove down , I unloaded the game hauler cart ... walked into the bush and loaded the buck ... my wife led with the flashlite , while I navigated the game cart over the deadfalls!

When we got to the truck , we couldn't lift the buck and the cart into the back ... So my wife drove the truck while I sat in the back holding the cart as we drove back to the shop ..

I tipped the cart over , put my gear on the side of the cart and my wife snapped two quick frames with my cheap pocket camera ( she was in a hurry to get back in the house before I hung the deer to dress him out :lol: )

I didn't have to prep the buck , because he was hit high in the spine and bled within ..

The other picture I submitted was the walk up shot of the small rack Crab Claw buck taken with my Y25 ... has my gear ( climber , bow snow shoes etc. ) with it ..

That said .. The picture that caught my eye this year was the 1st in a series of two submitted by catcher ...

Everybody looks happy in that shot ... Shows , crossbow , arrow , game animal , successful hunter , kids getting in on the shot ... Nice all round winter outdoor photo ..

My vote goes to catcher ..

Remember guys ... If you have any " honorable mentions " , bold your 1st choice vote , so I can keep track of one vote per member ..

Thanks guys for getting the ball rolling ...

Remember , when Boo started the contest it was quote .. " crossbows only "
"I think you guys know what I want in a picture but this time crossbows only."
Some pictures look great , but I couldn't confirm if the animal was taken with a crossbow ... so if you have a picture in the 2008 trophy room thread , that doesn't have weapon detail , might be a good idea to add a quick note ..

I looked back at the original contest post and man there are some great prizes ! ...

Thanks to all that graciously donated !

Also , Please remember to bold your 1st choice ... it will make it easier for me to pick it out in your reply ( now that I have slow speed country internet , posts take longer to download ! ) ... Thanks

Are you voting for yourself ? ... or just confirming you are good looking and the buck is nice ... :lol: :lol:

Let me know ... I will keep a running tally throughout the thread ..

Good luck to all ! .. and more importantly , Congrat's to all the successfull hunters that took game during the 2008 season , reguardless of your weapon of choice and game spieces ! ... For those of you that put time in the field this year and didn't harvest .. well you have just added another year to your " Memories In the Field " !

As much as I hate to say, my picture that Boo has mentioned was a muzzleloader kill. I didn't state that in the Trophy Room because it was not a buck that was scored in the contest. I will cast another vote.

R.J,

Then scratch my entries and give fogducker another vote..

I thought "The Trophy Room" was for any "trophy" taken any legal way and I flat out I missed the "crossbows only" rule for he trophy photo contest....

Sorry..

Woody : No problem ... As far as I know , The trophy room is for all trophies of any game , any weapon ..

But Boo was promoting crossbow only this season for the contest ..

BTW : Great trophy shots of your deer and turkey ! ... Looks like you had another great season !
