In our recent "Oddball Archive Caption Contest" we asked you to caption 20 vintage photos we pulled from 60s, 70s, and 80s issues in the Field & Stream archives. We promised to send a Gerber Mini-Remix knife to the best caption-writer for each photo, and a special Gerber Freeman Exchange-A-Blade knife (signed specially for this contest by Gerber's lead designer, Jeff Freeman) to our overall favorite in the contest. Here are the winners. Congratulations to reader HoyBoy for writing our favorite caption of all, which was picked by Anthony Licata, Field & Stream's Editor-In-Chief, and can be found on slide 7.
Description (At Left):
Issue: March 1970, page 216. From a story about dog training, the cut line reads, “The best way to teach a dog to negotiate a fence is to let him see how an older dog manages it.”
Winner:
JBgrouse23: Holy Crap your nose is cold!!!!
Honorable Mention:
nijimasu: quick- tag me and get a chair to whack him with
ryubeta: Don't just sit there Rex, go and get Farmer John... tell him to bring the grease gun and for god's sake get your nose away from my tail pipe!!
We posted one more picture on our facebook page and asked users to caption it. We're sending Michael Sanders, the winner, a new Gerber machete for his caption:
"Chrysler Outboards..... turning average men into underwear models since 1971."

dotcomaphobe,
you should have gotten an email to whichever email account is tied to your login name. Check that and look for an email that says something about "field and stream winner"
Thanks, SD. No such luck, though. Shame. That looks like an awesome knife!
