Gun Dog Photo Contest

[calisdad]

Is it cool to make a plea for a few votes to help win a photo contest that could help The English Springer Spaniel Rescue Assn?

We got involved in this contest 3 weeks ago and are amazed we have amassed over 900 votes but are in 2nd place to a pro photographer by 13 or so votes.

Here's the contest: https://www.facebook.com/ultimateup...andloc=DISABLE&app_data=view-vote,for-2292619

You have to have a Facebook account. And here's the pic with some background info:

Besides being a handsome boy with ESS Hall of Fame grandparents he holds his own in the competition hunting circuits:
1st Place- NAGDA 1/14-Porterville,CA
1st Place- BDC 10/13- Tehachapi,CA

Vote 1176 in there for you I love the pic too

 

[calisdad]

Thanks MeteorMiner. Hard to believe almost 1200 votes and only 20 votes separating the top two. Everyone can vote everyday and there's only 4 days left.

If Trapper wins we'll donate a years supply of premium Blackwood dog food toe The English Springer Rescue Assn.

Thanks packerbacker. 1255 for Trapper to 1230 right now. Crazy. Hard to believe after 3 1/2 weeks it's down to 3 hours of votes. Lead was down to 9 today.

Every vote counts and the English Springer Spaniel Rescue Assn wins if Trapper wins.

Thanks.

And as I just discovered...you can vote 4 times a day!!
Your photo looks pro as well. What brand of camera are you shooting with?

 

[Shunkaha]

Being a gun dog trainer myself I'll vote for you. Even though it isn't a lab. Good luck.

 

[calisdad]

Thanks Shunkaha. So you know training never ends. I never leave the house without a whistle.

4 times Oregon Viking? I can 'only' vote once. Clock starts again at midnight.
The camera is an old Canon SX 210 IS 14 megapixel. Thanks. I took the pic 3 1/2 years ago while pheasant hunting. My almost 2yo pup just 'got it'. What a great experience.

It's getting down to the wire. I'm amazed at how many votes we're getting and how close it is.

Thanks for all the support.
