Carl Zeiss Sports Optics is launching an online contest for serious hunters to win a chance a three-day pronghorn antelope dream hunt in Wyoming for themselves and one guest.

In partnership with Rough Country Outfitters and Friends of NRA, Zeiss is offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for two hunters, 21 years or older, who are legal residents of the United States or Canada, to experience an all-expenses paid, guided pronghorn antelope dream hunt in September 2015. Hunters can enter by visiting the Carl Zeiss Hunting US Facebook page. The opportunity to enter closes on January 9, 2015.

To enter the contest, interested parties must nominate a hunting partner with whom they would want to share the dream hunt. Photos must be submitted with a brief written description of why the hunting buddies in question would be the perfect match for the dream hunt. Hunters can nominate a friend, family member, co-worker, neighbor—anyone. The catch is that it has to be the one fellow hunter that they would most want to go head first into a pronghorn adventure with.

"For many hunters, a trophy pronghorn dream hunt is one for the bucket list, and we want hunters to name the person with whom they would most want to share this once-in-a-lifetime moment," said Michael A. Jensen, President of Carl Zeiss Sports Optics. "At Zeiss, we believe in maximizing every moment of a quality and ethical hunt. And that's how we'll select the winner—we're looking for the perfect team who are ready to savor the joy of a quality trophy pronghorn hunt."

The winning entry will be awarded a three-day hunting trip guided by Rough Country Outfitters. The winner, along his or her hunting partner, will receive round-trip airfare, licenses, lodging, shoulder mounts, and game meat processing. Zeiss riflescopes and binoculars will also be included in the prize package.

First, second, and third-place runners-up will win a choice of Zeiss Victory HT riflescope or binocular, Zeiss Conquest HD riflescope or binocular, and Zeiss Terra riflescope or binocular, respectively. Five winners in total will be chosen. No purchase is necessary to enter.

Alligator Hunting Opportunities Are Expanding

This year, both Florida and Louisiana are expanding or introducing new opportunities for alligator hunts. For decades, Florida has estimated that there are over one million in the state—it is, of course, hard to count alligators. Louisiana now says its alligator population exceeds three million. The two states have managed their alligator populations very differently over the last half century, but now both are expanding hunting opportunities to help manage alligator populations.
