Nice double Clint!
Awesome! You have been stacking up the yotes. Way to go!
Dang, nice going, Jared! Some quality fur you've taken.
You've done really well this year Jared. Congrats getting them.
Ok, the 2015-2016 fur pcs has been separated.
Keep the pics coming.
The trapping season is over for most animals, but predator calling is still open. This contest will be open for two more weeks unless you folks want to keep it going longer.

This is how the contest was judged last year, same format will be used this year.
We tried to get this done as non-biased as possible. The judge is a semi-professional photographer that is not a member of OSA, but was recommended by a member because of his expertise in wild life photography.
The judge said he would be more than happy to Judge this again next season, so take the comments as a learning tool, and we will do this again.
Method of Judging
All photos saved to separate folder on computer with Post # and Image # (if applicable) as the only identifier, therefore, there was nothing to identify a photo to a forum username when judging.
Double elimination with all photos, meaning that each photo was evaluated and judged twice before final elimination.
Only Dennishoddy photos were specifically removed without judging because he chose to eliminate himself from the competition.
First Place: Post 49, Image 1 - Handlebar
Most unique pose of the animal - minimum distractions meant attention seemed to be given equally to both the animal and rifle - low angle of image puts viewer at same level as animal - good colors and contrast
Second Place: Post 104, Image 1 - the-outdoorsman
Good contrast of colors and also a low angel of image. While the animal was not posed, it still draws one's attention - red coloring of branch draws a line to the animal, drawing one's attention there
Honorable Mention: Post 44, Image 1 - thaHooligan
Good pose of animal, making it seem to be running - nice placement of cat's feet at the bow - while no coloring to speak of, the lack of distractions in the image highlights the cat and the bow
