Apply. Prepare. Hunt. Write. That’s your outline for getting a hunting story published in the Huntin’ Fool magazine. Go out and hunt and then come home and write about your experience. Then, we’ll reward you for your hard work. This year, we have some returning favorite items and some new offerings for those who are printed in our magazine. Check out the sections below to find out what great prizes await you for 2025!
Cover Story Contest
For 2025, we are excited to have Weatherby continuing to sponsor our Cover Story Contest. The 12 stories that are selected as covers will receive a Weatherby Model 307 Alpine CT rifle. The retail value of this prize is $2,199. On top of that, the Cover Story winners receive 20 copies of the magazine they are featured in.
Story Packages
Every story that is printed in our magazine in 2025 will receive a story package. These packages are valued at around $200 and include HF and Gear Fool swag along with some great items from a few of our advertising partners. Items in this year’s package include Marsupial Gear meat tarps, Wild Tech GameGrip, Koola Buck Anti-Microbial game bags, a 10 oz. bag of Whiskey Morning Coffee, a Gear Fool water bottle, a Huntin’ Fool hat, and four free copies of the magazine.
Trophy Room Photo Contest
Montana Knife Company is continuing to sponsor our Trophy Room Photo Contest. Each month, the winner will receive Magnacut Stoned Goat 2.0 knife engraved with the Huntin’ Fool logo. The MSRP of this knife is $225. These winners are selected based on the quality and composition of their photo.
Story Submissions
Would you like your chance to receive some free Huntin’ Fool stickers? All you have to do is submit a 2024 harvest story and photos! We will reward you for taking the time to share your story with us. It’s a win-win!
Ways to Submit
There are two ways to submit your stories and photos. The preferred method is via our website at www.huntinfool.com/submission. Fill in your information, upload your files, and you’re all set! We will then send you an email confirmation that we received your submission. Don’t forget to include your outfitter’s name (if you hunted with one) and to label your photos so we know who’s who in the photos.
The second option for submitting is to email your stories and photos to submit@huntinfool.com. Within the body of the email, please include the following information about your hunt: state, species, unit, weapon, and outfitter (if applicable). Again, you will receive a confirmation reply that we received your submission.
We hope that you’ll take the time to share your successes with us. This grows our community and connects us as we build and share memories. We’ll be watching for your submissions. We’re ready to hand out some awesome prizes in 2025!
REMEMBER!
