Hunting Season

Photographer's Statement:

The theme relates to me because I spend a lot of time, especially during the fall, outdoors. Most of this is spent hunting with my close family, whether it be an hour away, or deep into the forests. You can really tell how dynamic the Idaho forests are when you immerse yourself in the changing environment. My photo relates to the overall theme because it was taken during my hunting trip in October of 2024, where shortly after we shot down a massive doe. This truly shows all that Idaho has to offer during its ever-altering seasonal beauty.
