Trail Cam Photo Contest Grand Prize Winners
We've received hundreds of photos from readers since our trail cam contest began back in April. There were four categories: Best Deer photos, Best Non-Deer photos, Funniest photos, and the Best Attempt to Cheat Bushnell out of $1 Million (in which we asked our readers to send us their best trail-cam Sasquatch impersonations). Each month we gave away a pair of Bushnell binoculars to the winners in each of these categories. Now, at the end of the year, we're giving away our grand prizes: One Bushnell Trail Scout Pro (a $480 value!) for the best photo in each category. Check them out (along with runners-up in each category) by clicking through the slides at left! **
Grand Prize Winner: Best Deer**
We get plenty of photos with deer and owls. But when we got one of an owl sending a deer flying instead of the other way around, we had to make it the winner. Josh Moore of LaGrange, Georgia caught this on his trail cam. none
