    Hey guys! anyone feeling up for a friendly competition this season? I was thinking of starting a contest for trail cameras. No prize, just for bragging rights.
    I was thinking the winner goes to who ever can post a picture (From 2014) of the most bucks in one picture? Would anyone be game for this? Since most cams give a date stamp its kinda hard to cheat but there is no reason to cheat since its just for bragging rights.

    I think it would be cool to be able to say you had to most bucks in one picture out of all the guys on here. It shows that the winner is truly dedicated and spends their time in the woods!

    Any takers?

    Ok, well lets make it super simple: best deer picture, best non deer picture?
    If you get a pic with 1 240" typical buck your gonna win (I know that's not probable but just an example)
    If you get a pic with 3 180''s you might win
    If you get a pic with 35 100"+ bucks you might win
    If you get a pic with 320 does you might win

    And for the non-deer its just gonna be most interesting unique picture. One coyote running through probably won't win, but a picture of a Coyote running through after a rabbit would be cool or something like that.

    What do you guys think? this was we dont have a bajillion categories and winning one would actually mean something..

    Any legit pictures of bigfoot are auto-win
    Any legit pictures of a Jackolope is a auto win for both categories

    Final thoughts on this idea before we start up the competition? I dont really see the need for a formal sign up, who ever wants to post a picture can, If thats ok with all you guys

    I think there should be a formal thread started - Something along the lines of "2014 Trail Cam Competition"

    I assume that you're going to be keeping track of all photos, who enters the photo, what category it belongs in, etc, etc,etc?

    Yes I will keep track of everything, I just wanted to settle the categories before I make the official thread. There may even be a secret prize if I can think of something by the end of the competition, but then people would also have to submit a picture of themselves walking up to their camera at each new location. What do you guys think?
