The best African Hunting Story   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #172 of 175 |
To Hunting Friends, Clients and Authors of Hunting Stories,

We've had an "African Hunting Story Contest" on our website
www.kalahari-trophy-hunting.com .

The prize for the best story entered on site before June 30, 2008 is a
hunt with us in the Kalahari of Namibia.
It includes

Five (5) days of FREE accommodation
for the hunter and his/her partner.
The following FREE Trophies to hunt:
1 Gemsbok, 1 Springbok, 1 Steenbok, 1 Duiker

(See detail on
http://www.kalahari-trophy-hunting.com/hunting-stories.html)

Well, the results are in. We received all our judges' points for every
story and the computer has done the calculation.

One of the judges said in the mail (containing his results) the following:

"It is a privilege to read all these stories, but a punishment to judge
it.
Every story is excellent and everyone who reads it, needs only a tiny bit
of imagination to enjoy the hunt with the author."
~ Lionel,
Western Cape, South Africa

This was our experience also. It really is a pity that we can not give
this prize to everyone of you as authors. So...

It is the privilege of Uitspan Hunting, Namibia, to pronounce the winner
