I loved that picture of the mountain lion, but I could never find the actual owner of the pictures and as a solid rule I will not publish a picture without permission from the owner of the photo. I had another one that was fantastic, of a bear clinging to a ledge and a pack of coonhounds on the top of the bluff but the guy that sent it in wasn't the actual owner of the photo. I couldn't get the owners name. What a waste. It was really great! Maybe I can track him down for next year. It's worth the trouble.
As for the number of the various breeds (We have a lot more Walkers this year) pictured it all has to do with
picture clarity and resolution. I had another B&T picture but it wasn't high enough resolution so the B&Ts are lacking. I do try to balance the numbers as much as the pictures sent in allow.
Now that you see last year and this years designs it should give you a better idea of what kind of pictures I need and why I need a lot from each person. I like to mix things up a little and get a pet and hunting picture if i can. Keep things interesting. Please keep the pictures coming. I never stop looking for photos. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford to hire a photographer to follow some of you hunters around! >grin<
Then I wouldn't have to annoy you all begging photos all the time Hehe.
