I really appreciate the videos and podcasts that some members on this site create that promote or give instruction to fellow and beginning saddle hunters. The problem is, I can't do videos. It seems that my good looks detract from the subject matter.
I don't do podcasts either.
What I can do is write. From time to time I do some freelance writing for outdoor publications. Late last February I contacted Don Thomas, Editor at Large for Traditional Bowhunter Magazine. Don is an old acquaintance from way back. I expressed my interest in submitting an article on saddle hunting for their publication. He said it sounded interesting and that he could use it in one of their columns. He asked me to put something together and send him just the text. He said we'd worry about the photographic support later. I did just that and sent him my manuscript a couple of weeks ago. He contacted me yesterday and it looks like it's a go.
So now it's time to gather photos to support the article. Normally I submit my own photos with my submissions but this time I want to include photos from members of this community. So here is what I'm thinking. I'm looking for saddehunter.com members to supply the photographic support for the article. I can't post the article here naturally, since it's been submitted to Traditional Bowhunter Magazine and will become their property once officially accepted. What I can tell you is it's an article meant to introduce the bowhunting public to saddle hunting.
If you've ever wanted to have your photos published in a national bowhunting publication, here's your chance! Keep in mind, I reserve the right to crop submitted photos and I also may require a signed release from any successful submitter(s). Also, this is for a traditional bowhunting publication so photos with firearms, crossbows or compound bows will not be considered. This is not to say that a submitted photo must have a longbow or recurve in it to be considered. Any picture that will help the reader better understand how a saddle is used or that can convey the advantages of hunting from a saddle may be considered. Photos must be high resolution, in either RAW or JPEG format of at least 300 dpi.
Now don't bury me in pictures. Choose up to 3 of your best submissions, reduce the size of your photo (don't send full sized photos) and email it to me at rickyoung583@gmail.com with your full name. I want to choose the photos that I will submit within the next 2-3 weeks. Don't get upset if your picture isn't selected. I will be picking the pictures that I feel best represent the information conveyed in the article. Don Thomas may very well further pare down the photos that I submit.
I think this will be fun so get to work and give me your best shot!!
