2010 Best Deer (Buck or Doe) harvest success story contest (with prizes!)

[HuntingNY]

The 2010 season is in full swing in all areas with bow, and the rifle /  shotgun season is coming up shortly. We have decided to have our first  contest, a 2010 Deer (buck or doe) success story contest!  What are the  rules?  The deer must have been taken this year; you must attach one or  more photos to your post and a story to go along with it.  Please  be as descriptive as possible, hunting stories are always a lot of fun  to read, especially when one results in a harvest.  All you have to do  is become a member of http://HuntingNY.com, and create a NEW post under  the Hunting Success Stories section.  If you're not sure how to do that, just follow the link  below and start typing your story, remember to attach a picture.  If you  still need assistance just email us or post a question in the forum.    Entries must be posted to the forum by December 31st, 2010, the winners  will be announced the following week after voting has been completed.    Judging will be based on the photo as well as the story, more details  may follow.  Ideally we would like the members to be the judges, however  depending upon the number of entries that may or may not be a  possibility, so keep your eye out on the thread on http://HuntingNY.com  under this section: http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php/board,48.0.html

Once I have the hats in my hand, I'll take photo's, they should be here within two weeks.

A little more on the Lighted hat:

Our  LED Lighted Cap illuminates what you are  looking at without having to hold a flashlight or put on a headlamp.  Ultra-bright LEDs are embedded in the visor so all you have to do is  press the switch and you have instant light. When you need light, just  click the switch hidden in the underside of the brim and you have  instant Ultra Bright Light from the LEDs that are built into the brim! 3  Ultra Bright LEDs are concealed in the front of the brim and lights up a  15 foot area bright enough to do whatever task awaits you. This  exclusive 3-way lighting technology lets you select the lighting  configuration you need for your specific task; Low Beam (2 under brim  LED’s) for up-close tasks like Reading, Hobbies, Home Repair, etc.) High  Beam ( 1 Ultra Bright LED in the brim) for distance lighting for  biking, running, etc. Power Beam (all 3 LED’s) when you really want a  lot of light for Walking, Camping, Grilling, etc.

As a reminder,  even if you do not wish to be involved in the contest, let us know how  your 2010 season is going! Post on the 2010 hunting success thread or  one of the other threads on the site. 

As with every month, it  seems the hot topics right now are still antler restriction related.    Check out the hot topics on the side of the forum.  The site has grown  leaps and bounds since started, there are over 22,000 posts as of  today!  Please remember to tell friends and family about the site, you  can even forward them this email.  Please let us know if you have any  suggestions, comments or are interested in sponsoring the site, you can  post them publicly on the forum under the suggestions thread here:  http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php/topic,254.0.html or you can use  the contact form to email us directly here:  http://huntingny.com/forums/index.php?action=contact
