Trail Camera Photo Contests

This weekend I entered some of my better and more unique pictures in a trail camera contest at the Illinois Deer and Turkey Classic. This was something new for me and I was curious as to how well I would do against other trail camera fanatics. Using the pictures for a contest was a different twist on the many uses for your trail camera. I found it a good way of allowing thousands of people to see what I get to see every time I check my trail cams. One day I stood around the display of contest entries and just watched peoples reactions to the pictures. I was not too shocked to see that most people made it a point to take a look at the entries. Most also took the time to discuss some of the more interesting ones. It was good to see the amount if interest shown there. Hopefully, the experience will drive several more people to purchase trail cameras and join in on the fun and excitement they are missing out on. As for the results of the competition, well I faired decent and received several ribbons for my efforts. One thing to keep in mind is that it is a good idea to review the different categories of the contest and then choose a couple of eligible pictures for each. This will up your chances of placing. As stated earlier, contest entry can provide a new and unique twist on how to capitalize upon your trail camera efforts.
