Sweet, I am going to enter one of Greenhorns photos, I'm sure to win :D

In all seriousness tho, thanks for what you guys do and thanks for supporting Randy and OYOA!
 
Sounds great! I'm assuming lots of pics will turn up that were already posted on the MR thread. I'm assuming MR guys got to see that post.......
 
You better believe I saw the MR picture post... awesome stuff, one of the best parts is I personally know many of the folks who posted their photos... I feel really lucky to get to help people with packs and then see what they do with them. Please submit your photos everyone!!!
 
Load 'em up, men. That is some major SWAG to be handed out. Thanks for the invitation, Mark.

The stuff that shows up on this site every year is more than any other site out there. And, quite often, the pics have a MR pack in the frame.
 
Wow, thats a VERY generous contest and congrats to all those who win. Looks like I'm gonna have to buy me a MR pack so I can compete next year for sure! Thanks MR for being a sponsor of BigFin's show and for the prizes you've donated to the BAYED drawing!
 
We're giving away more than $6000 in gear...

Well Holy SHHHmokes.... I'd say that's one helluva contest..!!!

Thank you for your generous support of this forum and OYOA !!

Good luck to All who enter. I am unable to contribute at this time, so congrats to the Winner(s) !!

Note to self: Get one of those top-notch packs and learn how to take pictures for next years contest ... ;)
 
Seacat, I am wanting a MR pack but have never had the opportunity to try one or even see one in person. Any chance of someone coming to the Northwest to do any outdoor shows in the future? I have 4 different packs and have some issue with all of them. From what I have read from everyone here on Hunttalk, MR is the way to go. Thanks for supporting Big Fin and the OYOA.
 
Mark,

Can the photos be 'marked', or must they be clean of copyright markings?


Fin,
I'm assuming all of OYOA submissions will be marked?
 
Already sent a bunch of mine...you guys can directly to mysteryranch.com and do it on the homepage too. Not that I want anyone on here to enter picks...I am sure some of the prizes will go to guys off of this forum.

Thanks to Mark and Mystery Ranch for a great product!
 
I am watching Steve Rinella with his Crew Cab, hunting Sika deer and Wild Boar in Hawaii. Airing right now on Travel Channel.

Steve is a great guy. Got to visit with him recently, and he is one of us. No short cuts and the real deal with his hunting. If you get a chance to watch his show, it is an hour long and plays on Sunday nights on Travel Channel.

Nice to see Steve using serious gear, like a Mystery Ranch Crew Cab.

I think I'll be heading to Bozeman to get my MR pack this summer! Can't wait! The hard part is yet to come though, convincing my wife why we need to go to Bozeman.
 
Time is running out! You may still have time for last minute submissions.
Here are the 10 I sent in.
