Here is how I would like to work it... You must pre-enter before you kill your buck by posting a reply to this post stating that you are "in". You must enter before Sept 15th, 2012. Any legal method of harvest can be used. Must be "fair chase". We reserve the right to exclude any person from this contest if we have reason to suspect the law was violated during the hunt. When you kill a legal antlered deer, you post a picture of it and a brief story. Any species of deer may be entered. Multiple bucks may be entered.
After the end of the season all the forum 500 club members will be asked to read the stories and view the pic's and vote on there favorite hunter/deer based on size, weapon, hardship, age of hunter, disability of hunter, etc. The one with the most votes gets 1st place, second most, 2nd place.... and 3rd place etc... and will get to pick prizes based on what place they took, until we are out of prizes.
If anyone else would like to donate a prize please let me know!!! Prizes are genuily apreciated by all the forum members.
I will not be participating in winning a prize, but everyone else is eligible. This contest is to thank you Guys / Gal's for all your support.
~~~Dan's disclaimer:
We are not responsible for prizes that are not delivered by the people donating them. If you can't make the dates available, or you dislike the prize, well, tuff... Feel free to email or contact the donor prior to choosing your prize. Once you choose your prize, your choice is final.
