gurtwurz 792 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) right guys, time for the july entries, best of luck to everyone!!! THE PRIZES ARE AS FOLLOWS:- 1ST PRIZE, OVERALL WINNER- A WEEKEND SPENT DEERSTALKING, LAMPING,DECOYING AND TRYING OUT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT FIREARMS ON A 3000 ACRE ESTATE IN DORSET COURTESY OF DANW!!!! i'll let dan himself describe this fantastic first prize:- "The winner will need to be insured Basc or other and under 18's need to be accompanied by a parent/suitable adult,as said I cannot provide accommodation/food but the winner is welcome to camp on the estate or there are many B&B's and places to eat in the area, As to the prize if the winner is able to get here for the friday evening/afternoon then we can start straight away with a hour on the range then straight in to an evening stalk followed by some lamping,the following morning stalk again then back to the range to try a few different guns ranging from .22lr through 300 ultra mag and try a silenced .22lr handgun and .357 mag revolver, rest of the day to be spent shooting vermin either with .22lr, airgun or shotgun as the winner chooses till time for another evening stalk and if they can manage another night on the lamp,sunday morning to start with a stalk again and spend the reminder of the day decoying rooks/crows on our free range pigs again with either air rifle or shotgun.I should hope in the time spent stalking we should take at least 4 deer of which 1 will be butchered for the winner to take home and any trophy head they wish to be mounted I will have prepared and will be posted to them upon its completion. all rifle/shotgun ammunition will be provided with the exception of ammo for the winners own airguns. It would be advantageous if the winner was able to take the prize before the 14 of july 2012 or after october the 14th 2012 though it is still possible between these dates I will not be able to spend as much time because my poults will have arrived" RUNNERS UP PRIZES ARE £100 WORTH OF TATTOOING BY WURZ OF 'TATTOOING AT GUNPOINT'(http://www.yell.com/...2321/index.html http://homepage.ntlw...st_brighton.htm ) and more to come, depending on the kind donors getting back to me, but hopefully something special is in store from a couple of kind regs on the site. THE RULES!!!!!!! THE RULES!!! all photo's MUST be taken on a hunting trip in the month they are entered for. photos may be of anything you've seen whilst out hunting quarry MUST be shown in a respectful manner. NO tweaking of photo's photo's will be posted in the competition thread, where they will be voted for initially by number of slut points earned, until the end of the month when the top 6 photos will be put in a poll for the final judging. we'll give til the first week of the following month for slut points to be accumilated, then put them to poll vote for a fortnight afterwards, then inform everybody who the winner is. each months winners will not be allowed to enter the next months competition in order to give other folk a chance of winning, and to avoid the possibility of the final calender being all one persons work(eg, if you win in june, you cannot enter in july, but can again in august!) each months winners WILL be used in the calender for their appropriate month. at the end of the year all 12 winners will be put in a poll so we can vote for photographer of the year. the rest of the winners photo's will be collected up and used to make a calender to raise funds for 'help for heroes'. entrants must limit themselves to 4 photo's per month so you can get your best one in each week!!! by entering a photo you agree to it being used for this purpose. could all entrants please save a copy of their entrys as a back up just in case something rubbish happens at this end, and also because i'd like to use all enrys somewhere in the calender. best of luck to all entrants!!! ALSO!!! PLEASE AVOID COMMENTS ON THIS THREAD FOLKS, AS IT MAKES IT A LONG OLD JOB TO WADE THROUGH WHEN YOU JUST WANNA LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!! Edited July 13, 2011 by gurtwurz Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Is it not a little unfair / biased to have it only on the air rifle section and only voted for by air rifle folk? Not having a dig, just wondering? Just that certain members could post pretty much anything and get a stack of s.p points, whereas if an 'outsider' posts something it will usually be over looked??? If opened to the rest of the forum you would get a lot more entries and a broader choice, leading to more competition and ultimatly a higher quality end result. 1 Quote Link to post
gurtwurz 792 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) everyones welcome to enter it mate. i just bunged it up here cos the idea was started here, but if anybody from any section wants to enter a photo theyre more than welcome. when the idea was originally discussed no-one mentioned putting it anywhere else and i never thought of it,to be honest. but like i say, its open to all, either to enter, or to vote cheers, wurz Edited July 13, 2011 by gurtwurz 2 Quote Link to post

ulverston moocher 60 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I thought it was one image per member per month? Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Erm it is 4 photos per month so members can submit one per week! It is in the terms and conditions at the top so if members want to chuck all the photos in for the month in one go, they can, mind you just suppose it helps if they post them as separate photos that can be voted for individually!
