"Wait! My Hair's Not Fixed!"

Photo submitted by Reese King

"Fox Kits on the Den"

Photo submitted by cnggack

User Description: This fox has 8 kits in this same den site that I put my cameras on last year.

"One-Horned Wonder"

Photo submitted by Derric Fuchs

User Description: The two-antlered version of this guy teased us throughout rifle season last year, only making appearances in the last minute or two of daylight, far too far away to even get a very good look at. This was his debut on the trail cam. We found his missing antler about a week after this photo was taken. Have not yet found this one tho. Sure am glad he survived the season, to be hunted again next year.

"Barn Owl Nesting in Hunting Stand"

Photo submitted by Versie Crews Sr.

User Description: We found animal bones and debris in out stand, so we set up our camera to try and find out what done it after a few days we retrieved the memory card. It was this barn owl and her mate.

"Turcock Sighting?"

Photo submitted by bronco8090

User Description: We just leased a new property in central Alabama for next season and decided to put some trail cameras out to get an inventory of the deer and turkey population. When I checked the cameras after the first week, I couldn't believe what I saw! We had multiple pictures of this peacock strutting with jakes and hens.

"Motherly Love"

Photo submitted by denkmh

User Description: I got this picture on my bushnell trail camera of a whitetail doe bonding with her baby fawn. How cute is this!!!!

"Showing Off"

Photo submitted by Rcidaho

User Description: Scouting last summer in Utah, for upcoming muzzleloader elk hunt.

"Redtail Hawk After a Fox Squirrel"

Photo submitted by fox2usp

User Description: This squirrel was a frequent visitor to my feeder. I didn't see him again after this day.

"I Was Here First!"

Photo submitted by mgrall

User Description: My brother suggested one day to try placing a camera lower to the ground for a different perspective on wildlife. Low and behold, I ended up capturing two hawks fighting.

"Back Scratcher"

Photo submitted by kstoneking

User Description: This black bear was headed down for water and on his way back up scratched his back against the camera and broke the strap. Then went to the other tree and as you can see the camera is tilted as he rubs his back on that tree.

"Wall Mount Preview"

Photo submitted by weingartenj

I don't get it. Springtime photo contest and almost half of these photos are certainly not taken in the springtime just based on the dates on the trailcams. Or photos are over a year old.

"Who says trail cams are only fun in the fall? Set yours out this spring, then send us your best photos." Pretty obvious that photos should at least be spring and not fall or late summer.

Come on F&S something so simple and you screw it up. You can do better.

BTW No, I did not submit any photos in this contest, so I am not being a poor loser.

I agree with mothball308 in regards to the photos being submitted for the "Spring photo contest".
The photos should at least have been taken in the spring to be eligible for the "Spring photo contest".

Relax. It's a photo contest that F&S conducts in the spring...that doesn't mean that the photos submitted need to be springtime photos, nor do they need to be in the same year...a good photo is a good photo regardless of when it was taken. Plus, putting time frame limitations on trail cam photos would be difficult to enforce since there is absolutely no way to prove exactly when the photo was taken seeing as time stamps can easily be manipulated. It's better to keep the rules simple to avoid finger pointing and accusations of cheating.

Bioguy01: F&S description: "Set yours out this spring then send us your best photos". I think that's pretty self explanitory that photos should be springtime. Regards of what the timestamp says on the photos, you can easily see some are not spring or late winter. If there is a deer with bare antlers and very established greens behind it, it a good bet it was not taken in springtime.

some good shots here no matter when they were taken.

Also F&S, I really like this format better than the individual clicking to load each picture. Please continue this style.

How about picking pictures from trail cams taken IN THE SPRING? Can you not look at the date on the picture and what is going on in the picture? Two bucks fighting, not spring. Bucks w/ Hard antlers, not spring. Bucks with fully developed velvet racks, not spring. Yes they should be Spring and 2013 Bioguy01 - read what F&S put up on the contest posting "Who says trail cams are only fun in the fall? Set yours out this spring, then send us your best photos."
