Did You Have a Successful Hunt This Season?
Submit today for a chance to win some awesome prizes!
Submitting a Story
- Keep stories between 500 and 1,500 words, saved in Microsoft Word format.
- Submit original full-resolution photos, NOT the smaller thumbnail versions, as .JPEGS (.JPG) or .TIFF files.
- Make sure to send a variety of photos to support your story (scenery, glassing, hiking, camping, live animal, harvest from different angles, etc.). The more pictures we have to work with when designing a story for the magazine, the better.
- Send the first and last names of everyone in your group photos
Submitting Photos
You do not have to submit a story to be in our magazine!
Photos alone have the opportunity to be featured in the following ways:
- State Section
- Trophy Room
- Social Media

All Trophy Room Contest winners are selected based on the quality and composition of their photo.

Since I joined, I went from tag soup for two years to harvesting six animals in four years, DIY style and mostly solo, too. I have been with and helped friends get six animals in that time frame, too. I give Huntin' Fool full credit for giving me the tools and motivation to get the job done.
