How about a little help picking contest winners? Could you all do that? These are what I narrowed it down to in each category. For the biggest, that's fairly easy and I have picked what appears the largest to me. If there are shots I don't have below that you think should be, share the link.
Here's what I have. Let me know!!! Please...

Best field photo -- 14

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, but field photos can be greatly improved with fill-flash, especially in the middle of the day between 10 and 2 when the sun is higher.

#4 and #11 respectively...#4 one of the best at dark pics I've ever seen and #11 because in the velvet that buck is hella sick!!

~Z~
 
do not like the field photos, most of the people in them are hiding behind their deer. and just not that great.
 
Ive got to go with number 1. But if I cant vote for myself... I'll go with number 6. For most unique Im going with number 11.
P.S. Thanks Founder, for the nomination, it was a self timer picture to boot!
 
DK,

I was vascillating between yours and 14, but went with the latter because of the 3 nice images. I could have just as easily selected yours, however, especially with the self-timer aspect.
Good job!

How To Hunt Coues Deer
 
Ive got to go with number 14, hands down, for field photo. There are only two other that I would even mention. Some of them are ok, but they need a little more set up with the hunter or the deer.

In the field we take over 150 field photos just to get a dozen of good ones. Different angles and different set ups. It only takes from 20 to 30 minutes. Well, worth the time. Mid day, as mentioned by Tony, flash is important to get rid of hard shadow lines.

As far as unique buck I will have to go with number 10 with number 11 coming in second. Why? How many double drop tine bucks have you seen. Let alone one with almost perfect symmetry.

Congrats to all the successful hunters. They are all great bucks.

#12 the best field buck has mountains and the lake in the picture thats hard to beat!

#8 the most Unique
 
Though not a perfect pic, i really liked and called it for this shot to win, when i first saw it....12, for best field photo

I just can't get over this buck's frame, very unique...6

Lots of great bucks and pic's!! Congrats to all!!!

Best Field Photo my vote is for #5 with #4 a close second. I love the color in the photo and the bucks a stud.

For most unique, I am voting for #6 my wifes. Here is a pic of the antlers with the velvet stripped. The bases are crazy. But if I can't vote for her's I am voting for the double drop tine buck # 10.

Most Unique: Double beamed buck for scott
 
Field # 12 and unique #8.

you got to see # 8 in person to see how unique it really is. all the growth on front of the antlers are soft spongy balls.
 
I say #4 in the "Field Photo " and # 3 for " Unique Buck ". I like what is good contrast on 4 and the unique feature of 3.
 
Field #3
Unique #11

# 12 feild and definetly # 10 unigue . I can't beleive all the votes for other bucks. Inexperienced hunters. drop tines are rare, let alone as symetrical as this buck. Wake up!!
