Okay looks like it is time to determine a winner for the new Hunting Stories Contest. The winner will receive "Pear Flat Philosophies" by Larry Weishuhn. Vote for your favorite!

We'll leave the voting open till May 31, 2003 and announce the winner!

Look for more contests in the upcoming weeks!

Pooter shooter wins our first hunting story contest!!! Pooter/Shooter walked away with 36% of the votes.

Congratulations!!! Your prize will be shipped soon (check your personal messages here at Beartooth).

I think all the stories were exceptional and wish to thank all for their posting. Keep 'um coming, guys!!

Indeed, they are all good, and we appreciate them all!

Unless asked to do differently, we will be putting both the first and second place winners' stories as permanant editions to our website under the "Trail Talk" section of the website for all to enjoy, and where they won't be buried under many other threads and posts as time goes on.

Again, many thanks to all, and good luck on the next round of hunting story competition! A special thanks too, to Dave for organizing and refereeing this on the forums!

God Bless,

Marshall
