Are you new to hunting or trapping? Have you mentored a new hunter or trapper?

DEC is looking for hunters and trappers who would like to share their story about their first memorable experiences afield or an experience where they introduced a new person to hunting or trapping.

Essays can be submitted in one of three categories:

  • Junior Youth Hunters/Trappers - currently in grade 6 through 8
  • Senior Youth Hunters/Trappers - currently in grade 9 through 12
  • Adult Hunters/Trappers - ages 18 and older

DEC staff will select the best essay in each category. Winners' essays will appear in the 2018-19 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide, which is read by over 500,000 people each year! The winners will each receive a $50 gift certificate.
