The National Rifle Association is calling for Hunt Reports in an e-mail from the NRA Special Announcement Report e-mail list:

NRA Website Solicits Member Hunt Reports

Did you have an exceptionally good hunting trip last season you’d like to share with other NRA members?

NRAhuntersrights.org is accepting brief reports and photos from members who want to tell others about their recent hunting experiences. We’re looking for information that could help your fellow hunters plan an exciting experience afield, with a great outfitter and guide, as well as sort through any confusing regulations you may have encountered or travel issues along the way. Don’t think of it as writing an article – think of it as telling your hunting buddies what the trip was like.

All we’re looking for is about 500 words, but you can go longer if you need to. We have to have a good, sharp photo from the hunt, contact information for the guide and outfitter, plus any other information about the hunt you want to give us.

How to Submit a Report: It’s easy. Just write it up in your own words and send it to huntersrights@nrahq.org. Write “Hunt Report” in the subject line. We’ll consider it, and if it meets our criteria we’ll post it and let you know when it’s up.

Submission of a Member Hunt Report does not guarantee it will be posted, and there is no payment.
