CouesWhitetail.com Wildlife Conservation Challenge!

2013 CouesWhitetail.com Wildlife Conservation Challenge

I thought we would try something new this year since it’s the 10 year anniversary of CouesWhitetail.com. I wanted to do a special contest and I want help motivate people to do more for wildlife. So the idea of this new contest is that if you do one of the activities listed below and post about it in the correct subforum (see rules below) then you get an automatic free entry in the contest. And, as a bonus, if you wear a CouesWhitetail.com tshirt or hat at the event and have pics to prove it, then you get an additional 3 entries. For each event you attend and post about, you can get more entries. The more entries you have, the more likely you are to win a great prize. I will run the contest for the 12 month period (Jan to Dec 2013) which should give everyone time to find several events to attend. If you did any of the following types of events this year, prior to me announcing this, then it can still count if you post about it.

I will keep a spreadsheet with the entries to date and post them here so you can make sure I counted you after you post about a project you attended.  http://www.coueswhitetail.com/2013/03/wildlife-conservation-challenge-entries-to-date/

At the end of the year, I will randomly select winners from a list of all entries. Multiple entries are possible using the framework below.

We have some GREAT prizes lined up so far! Please thank our sponsors for their support of this contest and wildlife conservation in AZ!

Top prize is a scoped Ruger American .270…..a very nice gun! (you can read a review about the gun)

You can go look at the gun at Healy Arms in Mesa during their business hours!

We have a lot of other outstanding prizes lined up and you can see the list below.

Ways to enter this giveaway:

You get 3 additional entries if you post a picture of you at the project wearing a CouesWhitetail.com tshirt, hat or showing a CW sticker on your vehicle at the project.

Being a member of any Wildlife Conservation group during 2013 and post about it in the forum in the Conservation Group Events subforum. You get 3 additional entries if you are serving on the Board of Directors and you get 2 additional entries if you work at the banquet of one of these groups. You get 3 additional entries if you are a Life Member of the group.  You must post proof of your membership, proof of you being on the board, and/or proof of you working the banquet. And again, if you are wearing a CouesWhitetail.com tshirt/hat at the event, then you get 3 additional entries.

Work at a youth camp or adult camp designed to teach hunting skills (ie, like the women’s javelina hunting camp) in the US during 2013 and post photos and text about the event in the CouesWhitetail.com forum in the Conservation Group Events subforum. You get 3 additional entries if your photos show a picture of you at the event wearing a CouesWhitetail.com tshirt, hat or showing a CW sticker on your vehicle at the project.

Attend and speak at an AGFD commission meeting or other game and fish commission in the US and post about it in the Political subforum. You get 3 additional entries if your photos or video show a picture of you at the event wearing a CouesWhitetail.com tshirt or hat. Post photos or a link to video from the AGFD website that shows you were there.

Attend a Wildlife Conservation group banquet and post text and photos taken at the event in the CouesWhitetail.com forum in the Conservation Group Events subforum – You get 3 additional entries if your photos or video show a picture of you at the event wearing a CouesWhitetail.com tshirt or hat. You get 2 additional entries if you work at the banquet of one of these.

Donate to a Wildlife Conservation group and post about that donation in the CouesWhitetail.com forum in the Conservation Group Events subforum.  You will get one entry into the contest for each $100 of retail value of the item (or cash) donated.  So for example, if you donate a gun to a fundraising banquet and it’s worth $600, then you get 6 entries.  If you donate $200 in cash, then you are eligible for two entries.  If you donate four items valued at $25 each, then you get one entry in the contest since that would total $100.

Remember for all these actions, you have to follow up by posting about them in the forum.  The whole idea is to raise awareness and motivate others to do something good for wildlife.  So please remember to post about whatever project/banquet, etc that you worked on and it’s also helpful if you email me a link to your post to help me keep track of the entries.
