You must be under 21 years of age.
The contest runs from NOW until, April 8,2008 at 7:00pm. For this first attempt "I" am the ruler of the contest. The prize is a Rick Robbins Cow Horn Howler, it is a beauty. It has called Coyotes!! I will pay postage to the winner.
OK, here is the question, answer in 50 words or less.
You are hunting with a person that you have never hunted with before. You are both carrying loaded shotguns for some bird hunting. While walking towards your hunting area you must cross a fence. You are behind the other hunter, when he gets to the fence, he pushes down the wire and stumbling slightly, steps right over the fence.
What would you do and why?
Carl :)

First I would explain that when dealign with firearms I take safety very seriously because bullets cannot be taken back and that I am dissapointed in the way he had just handled his firearm. I would also tell him that I would expect the same from him and that if he could not do that then the hunt would end right now and that I would never hunt with him again. Then I would tell him how he should have crossed that fence.
I would explain to him that when approaching a fence to unload his fiream and to hand it to me and then cross and then i would hand him his gun back . then i would do the safething and unload my gun and hand it to him on the other side of the fence then cross over the fence myself and get my gun back load back up and continue with happy hunting!!

All of you gave excellant answers and you all covered the SAFE part of the questions. I congratulate you all and think this says alot about young hunters and how safe they really are. Chris is alot younger than the other guys and I have been keeoing that in mind.
Armadillo: covered the answers, was thoughtful and thinking ahead.
Chris_D: also covered the answer and was forceful! in his feelings about safety.
Mossback91: covered the answer and was entertaining!
So after careful thought, the Judge has decided,(with my wifes permission):
That Armadillo!!!!!!! wins the Howler!!!!!
Chris_D!!!!!!! wins a great internal reed Bearman Rick call, (wooden turned by Rick himself!)
And
Mossback91!!!!!!!! wins a great internal reed Bearman Rick call, ( Elk antler by Rick)
PM me your addresses and I will send the calls out, Thanks for entering!! Be safe, hunt alot and have fun!
I am leaving to hunt Turkey Saturday, so I might not ba able to mail until I get back.
Thanks again
Carl

Do not fret. I will do what I have to do to get the calls to the right young hunters.
I think all the adults here are thankful young folks like you are coming along behind us! All the private emails I got are very appreciative, thankful and appreciated.
If anyone needs to call me to make sure I have the right information, say so.

I think the answers were very good considering there could have been 651 different scenario's.
Great Job, and Thank you Bofire for including the kids in here and getting them interested, also Killbilly for for his efforts with some of the youth hunters in here, I like to see the expressions on their faces when a plan comes together.
Keep it up !!!
