Did You Have a Successful Hunt This Season?
Submit today for a chance to win some awesome prizes!
Submitting a Story
- Keep stories between 500 and 1,500 words, saved in Microsoft Word format.
- Submit original full-resolution photos, NOT the smaller thumbnail versions, as .JPEGS (.JPG) or .TIFF files.
- Make sure to send a variety of photos to support your story (scenery, glassing, hiking, camping, live animal, harvest from different angles, etc.). The more pictures we have to work with when designing a story for the magazine, the better.
- Send the first and last names of everyone in your group photos
Submitting Photos
You do not have to submit a story to be in our magazine!
Photos alone have the opportunity to be featured in the following ways:
- State Section

2027 Cover Story Prize
In 2026, Weatherby supplied each of our Cover Story Contest winners with a 307 Alpine ST Rifle in a caliber of their choice—a prize worth nearly $2,000—so we’re thrilled to have Weatherby continuing to sponsor the contest in 2027. This year, our twelve Cover Story winners will receive a Weatherby rifle and twenty copies of the magazine they are featured in. We’ll be announcing the rifle model in the first issue of the year, so remember to take a peek at the story contest pages in January!
2027 Printed Story Prize
Every story published in our 2027 magazine will earn an exclusive Story Package—$250 worth of Huntin’ Fool swag and premium gear from our partners to help you on your upcoming hunts. This year’s package includes four complimentary copies of the magazine, a Marsupial Gear Meat Tarp; a 5-pack of Koola Buck Synthetic Blood Red Game Bags; a Huntin’ Fool hat, Nalgene, and scope cover; and—brand new this year—a Death Pantry freeze-dried meal of your choice!
2027 Trophy Room Prize
Hogue Hunting will be returning as our 2027 sponsor for the Trophy Room Photo Contest, meaning every Trophy Room winner will be receiving a free knife from Hogue’s quality lineup. Trophy Room Contest winners are selected by a panel of Huntin’ Fool Advisors, and they’ll be looking at the overall quality and composition of your photo to make the final call.
Stickers for Stories
We appreciate the thought you put into writing up your hunting stories. While we can’t always guarantee you a spot in the magazine for your efforts, we do want to say thank you for taking the time to share your experiences from the field. Submit a 2026 hunting story and photos, and we’ll send you some Huntin’ Fool stickers. It’s a win-win!

By submitting your photos, you hereby grant Huntin’ Fool permission to use them on their website or other electronic form or any media, including print, or in any other manner desired without notifying you. In return, Huntin’ Fool agrees to credit the hunter/photographer with the photo wherever possible.
