We want to hear about one of your hunting experiences and why hunting is important to you. Please send us an essay and a photo if you have one.
Your essay will be judged on ethics, landowner relations, appreciation of wildlife, respect for our hunting heritage, and family values.
The contest is open to youth aged 16 and younger, and submissions must be received by December 19, 2008 by 4:30 p.m. The top entry from each Vermont County will win a special prize from the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. The County winners will be announced at the 2009 Yankee Sportsman Classic Show this January.
The top entries will be considered for an “Archery Only” hunt for two, parent and child (or mentor and child), at Antelope Outfitters in Torrington, Wyoming. The runner-up will receive a two-day hare hunt at Pine Grove Lodge in Pleasant Ridge, Maine. The hunt winners will be announced at the Vermont Big Game Trophy Club Awards Banquet on April 4, 2009.
The contest is presented by Vermont Fish & Widlife Department, Vermont Big Game Trophy Club, University of Vermont 4-H Shooting Sport, and Vermont Agency of Natural Resources. To learn more about the contest rules click here.
