Time to judge this photo competition.

The photos submitted were amazing and I really had to go over them many times to try and pick two winners. The criteria were hunting photos, preferably live animals but great trophy shots were also eligible. I asked for photos in all the “hunting forums” – Africa, Australia, Americas, and Europe/Asia.

Some of the ones I thought were very good, but I would be happy with all of the photos submitted if I was the photographer:

Australia
Bakes’ – Buffalo
Gary Hall’s – Goat on a cliff

Americas
470Nitro’s – Racoon
AspenHill’s – Bugs (were good as usual)

Europe/Asia
470Nitro’s – Ibex and Wolf

Now the hardest forum

Africa
AspenHill’s – antelope by the fire
Shakari’s – elephant
Big Five’s – Hunting Dog
470Nitro’s – Elephant, Buffalo, Giraffe and Lion

I have decided to buy extra copies of the video from Matt and award one for each forum plus an overall prize.

Winners
Africa – Shakari – Elephant
Europe/Asia – 470Nitro - Ibex
Australia – Bakes – Buffalo
America – Ann’s Bugs

Overall Winner

I have missed someone out. He posted numerous photos on the African forum many many which could have been submitted for the competition as well.

His photos of: buffalo drinking; lioness and kill; two buffalo on a hill; zebra; jackal; eagle; gemsbok and elephant – which were entered, win the overall prize – ErikD

Thanks to everyone for submitting your photographs and I hope to have more prizes to give away soon.

I will PM each winner to ask their preferences re PAL vs NTSC and obtain addresses if needed.
