Here are all the official contest entries grouped to make it easier to judge.  It is going to very hard to pick three favorites.  I like them all!

Michelle "Fingers" Dellapelle

That is me i stand with .375 Magnum handgun. I don't remember which Smith & Wesson or Colts either.

Clay Strong

I think he was saying with his grunts  and raised hair,"Come any closer andI will eat you and your camera." I walked backwards very slowly. Grizzly - Jasper National Forest, Canada.

Phil Ladwig

Worst hunting vehicle ever. Get 50 ft from it in the forest and it disappears. However, it was a great excuse to get my first GPS.  :)

Data (C Thomas)

If I can get this to uplaod from my tablet - I think the photo speaks for itself.  I actually took the photo to reply to a rather snarky Facebook discussion a few months ago, but I think the photo says all it needs to say all by itself. Thank you! 

Indian

Ok so here we go time to get at it with the cleaning of the critter....my goodness thank goodness I brought the Doziers

Howard P Reynolds

A few years ago I bought a Taurus Thunderbolt in .45 Long Colt.  I really wanted it in .357, and stainless, but the blued .45 LC came in first.  The short pump action and long tube magazine seemed ideal.  I Took it out to run some rounds through it, but I only got five rounds through before the gun just came apart, with the 6th round locked in the firing position.  Luckily, the safety mechanism worked so that the 6th round didn't fire or it would have blown up in my face.  Taurus sent a new gun that works just fine.

Carl Bradshaw

Here is a photo of me after I unwrapped my 5th Christmas present from my grandfather.  This is my first gun, a single shot 20 gauge.  I killed my first squirrel with this gun while hunting with my grandfather, and blew up many a milk jug during my summers out of school.  It's all oiled up in the gun safe now, and when my daughter is older, hopefully she'll kill her first squirrel with it also.

Gus Marsh

This is an elk that my cousin Ritchie Rooper bagged near Oregon and the Idaho border. This was the fall of 2012.

Ken Spielvogel

Ken's Grandson

Michael Kelley Sr.

Taken out my daughter's patio door:

Rome D. Rushing

Here is a picture I took of my Thunder Ranch Model 22-4 in .45acp with a Winchester 3 blade stockman.

The grips are a set of old Franzite fake stag but make the gun fit the period the first ones were made in.

 

Sue OldsWidow

Just a few pic's of my firearm from my dad..

At one point in his life, I remember watching him quick draw with this gun.

Since his passing it is mine.

It deserved a place with the antique pearls.

22L Standard

Case Whittler 

Case Pen

The pistol will always be with me and the memories that go along with it.

I can still remember hitting my first can with this and making it jump in the air.

We used to target shot with rifles,shotguns,and pistol's...I really never got to hunt with the guys,

with a gun...Seems like I was too young so I was the one flushing out the game...lol

Brian Martin

Here is a pic of me shooting in a NRA Smallbore "22 lr" Silhouette match at Tulsa Red Castle Gun Club.  Not a great one of my pretty face, but it shows the difficulty of the sport.  Chickens "or hummingbirds" at 40 meters, Pigs at 60 meters,  The great equalizer Turkeys at 77 meters.  Rams at 100 meters, pretty much the size of a coke can on its side shooting from endzone to endzone on a football field!! 

 Ohh in the pick its the little chickens down on the railroad track half buried in the sand, not the big oversized ones half way up the burm!!

Mickey Evans

Weapons I played with in the 1960's

Steve Koontz

This is my son Trenton, 11 years young, he's watching 2 button bucks in the food plot we are hunting on, he would later take his very first deer, a really nice mature doe, he was so excited, the Gun is a savage Model 110 in .243 Winchester with a Brunton 3x9x50 scope, i cut the stock down for him and did the camo tape job..Thanks for looking!

Andy Moon

Here is a picture of my granddaughter Emily and her first time at the range. 

She was using two fingers to pull the trigger on the Ruger 10-22, because her hands were not strong enough to use one finger. She put all 10 shots on her pie-plate target, and 5 of them were in the black!
