Good Luck Everyone, I'm really looking forward to reading your trapline experiences. You young guys and gals are real outdoors folks as you stay motivated even with a down fur market.

I've shot a picture tonight of the First Prize after we got done fishing. I added a Water Trapping DVD and Canine Trapping DVD lots of catches of footage of Northern Michigan. The fish are not included, that is my turtle bait and supper Friday. The winner can choose any 5 - 4 oz Lures from www.LenonLures.com

Good contest, Bogmaster. Are contestants limited to one story each?

Is there an age limit?

Jim

James,high school age and under,which in most cases is 18 and under. They would probably want to keep it to one story.
I say that because there will be 3 winners--but it will be 3 different kids.No one person will be awarded more than one prize.We will be having more contests in the future.
Tom

Is there a minimum amount of words? Thanks

No Ave,you can make it as long or short as you want.When requiring a certain amount of words,a good story may get watered down to meet the numbers requirement. We are more interesting in quality over quantity.
Tom

Are pictures allowed in the articles? Will the extra DVD's be included in the prizes?

Right now ,I would say--no photos.I will be judging on what you write.Not everyone has photos--but all can write.
The DVDs are as stated in the prize list.Or what John has stated in his photo.
Tom

Do you just want a link to the story or do you want the story written directly on the forum?

I want the story written on the forum.
Tom

Sounds good. Thank you

Any time I can help,I will.Or at least---try.
Tom

Don't mean to butt in again, Bogmaster, but by "story," do you mean fiction is acceptable, as well as non-fiction/true-life experiences? Or are you only looking for the latter?

Jim

James,looking for non-fiction,on the line trapping experiences.
Tom

Minker2000 has a real nice article on his first mink. I feel sure it will be picked as one of the winners.

Will the winner's receive a PM or will you post the winners on this thread or the entries thread?

I will post the winners on both threads.
Tried to post an answer last night,but I couldn't get logged in to trapperman. I could read ,but not pos
Contest ends the 3rd,so I hope to make all my decisions by the 5th of September.
Tom

I just submitted my entry. I'm not trying to win myself any other points toward winning by saying this but, I would like to thank Bogmaster, Mr. Dobbins, Mr. Chagnon, all the participants, and everyone else who made this possible.

Pretty funny story! I think you beat me on that one!
