It’s nearly Thanksgiving, and some hunting seasons have come and gone. Did you bag a trophy buck? Or maybe you drew a rare tag out West and filled it with a spectacular specimen. If you’ve taken an animal you’re proud of, we want to see it! Be sure to send us a picture and a 200-word description of when, where and how you filled your tag by March 1, and we’ll run the best entries we receive in American Hunter’s June issue. You might even end up on the cover! Photos taken with natural backgrounds are more likely to be featured.

If emailing digital images, ensure the resolution is as high as possible. If entering by mail, send entries to: American Hunter, Members’ Best, 11250 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030. You can also email them to [email protected]. Please include your name, address, phone number and NRA membership number. Photos will not be returned.
