    The Rulez:

    1. Mount a gray fox. It can be a lifesize, half lifesize, or pedestal. Any pose. It can be a mount that you've done in the past year! Just so long as it follows the photo rules.

    2. Take three photos of your mount OUTSIDE. We are going for an "alive" look! Try to get different angles and at least one close-up of the face.

    3. Size your photos to about 500x700. No tiny pics!

    4. PM them to me, or email them to [email protected] Please put 'challenge pics' in the subject line so that I will know that it's not spam-mail!

    On Monday, October 25th, I will post the pics as a poll that will be open for four days. The winner will get some sort of prize, or maybe just a jumping high five, I haven't decided yet. Anyone can play, it is a free challenge open to all!




    PS don't forget to save a bobcat this year for the 2011 bobcat challenge!

    I think it works for you to use it as long as you haven't posted pics of it up before (If I'm remembering correctly from the previous bobcat/fox challenges). You may wanna check w/Codi to be sure.

    This ends on my birthday!
    I'm in for sure, how is the judging going to be with it being any kind of mount? (lifesize, pedestal etc)

    Dang... I actually have a gray fox that I'm going to be finishing soon but I'm making him a poseable mount. Oh well, maybe when another challenge shows up I'll give it a shot.

    I wish I had seen this sooner! I gotta pay more attention!! I will get a cat as soon as it cools down a bit and I'll make sure to jump in on the Bobcat challenge in 2011.
