Thank you for all of the time and effort put into this contest doug. Just thinking about winning has got my kid going crazy thinking about the possibilities . But i have a question concerning the rules. Can my son enter into the youth AND the Rifle categories for two chances at winning?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks - ForkHorn

[Red Rabbit]

Wade,

I am not set up for PayPal. Amanda is, if you would like to donate to the general operation of the website.

Sent you a pm that gives contact info if you want to donate to th econtest. You can archery hunt in Dec-Jan for coues if your muley tag goes unfilled.

 

 

Forkhorn,

He can enter ONE division/category per deer.

Everyone is also in the best photo category, so a person could win big buck and photo, like last year.

A person could also win typical and nontypical in the US and Mexico and archery, if he has enough tags and is a fortunate hunter.

Doug,

I plan on entering the contest again, just want to talk to my buddy and see if he wants to get into it also. I was trying to think of something I could donate as a prize. We own a bridal shop so if anyone would be interested in winning a gown or something speak up! Ha Ha!
