Pro-Am Me Santa Margarita with Coach Michael Francis

Event Description

Welcome to the 2013 Fall ICF Whitetail Pro-Am Tournament Series. We are thrilled to return to the Santa Margarita Ranch this fall for a series of Pro-Am Tournaments focused on photographing Whitetail deer and exotics. We have a limited number of dates available and many of the spots are pre-sold, so we encourage anyone who wants to attend to sign up right away.

Join professional photographer and ICF coach Michael Francis for four days of premium Texas Whitetail photography at the Santa Margarita Ranch. Michael has been photographing Whitetails for over 30 years and has published several books on the subject.

You will arrive at the ranch in time for a 6:00pm dinner on Wednesday. We will shoot mornings and evenings on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, submitting images each day for the tournament. We will also shoot Sunday morning, followed by a closing lunch where the results of the tournament will be announced in time for everyone to leave the ranch by 2:00pm.

Your entry fee covers the cost of the ranch, the coach, and the tournament. Meals and lodging are not included. We have worked with the ranch to provide a special package for all participants to stay on the ranch at a greatly reduced cost. This special rate includes meals and lodging and is paid separately to the ranch. Your spot on the ranch is automatically reserved when you register for this Pro-Am.
