Hey Roksliders
It's time to vote for winner of the Best Mule Deer Hunting Photo contest. 1st place-3rd place winners take home...
1) Sitka Gear ESW (Early season whitetail) package
2) Sitka Gear Celcius Midi jacket
3) Sitka Gear ESW (Early season whitetail) cap

If you missed the entry thread, it's here 2018 Best Whitetail Photo Contest, sponsored by SITKA Gear

The Rokslide staff just voted on the top eight finalists based on the entry rules. Now it's the Rokslide members' turns to pick the three winners.

Here are the rules we judged the finalists by:

1) WOW Factor. Is it a great photo that grabs the viewer? This takes in lighting, color, uniqueness, etc.
2) Composition- by that I mean the way in which the different parts that make up your photo are arranged- is there too much background, not enough animal? or visa versa? Are the antler tips out of the frame or the hunters head cut off? Or is it a good balance between the animal, the hunter, the terrain? (the hunter is not required to appear in the photo.)
3) Size of animal. This doesn't mean biggest animal wins, but if #1 and #2 are equal, we'll chose the bigger animal.
4) Must be a photo of a deer harvested in 2018

Please vote on the photos in the poll at the top of the thread (Tapatalk users can't see the poll, so use full-site if you want to vote.)

I'll only be using the official poll to award the winners- comment votes won't count, but feel free to comment.

I'll leave the poll open until approximately December 27th.

Any member can vote once, and if you're in the contest, go ahead and vote on your own if you want to (we can't stop you anyway!)

Here are the finalists in no particular order. Cast your vote in the poll using the member's name listed at top of each photo:

The whitetail crowd knows how to take good pics. Can't wait to see who you all chose. I know which one I like the best! but I won't influence the vote.

Remember, vote in the poll at the top (Tapatalk users will have to log into full site to vote, sorry, but TT won't support the polls). Votes in the comments don't count but you are welcome to comment.

I love how whitetail guys use their scenery and lighting in their photos! These photos highlight the respect to the animal and their habitat from the the hunters. They also tell a story about the life and values of hunters. I love it.
