Weatherby's Dream Hunt Contest
posted September 19, 2007


Every hunter has a different idea of what makes a dream hunt. For some it's glassing the vast expanses of Alaska for a trophy Dall Sheep, sorting out a herd of Cape Buffalo for an old bull in Africa, walking harvested Midwestern cornfields on a crisp Fall day for pheasants, or sitting around a fire at any deer camp, anywhere, with family and old friends. For one lucky hunter, Weatherby will make the dream reality.

For a chance to win the Weatherby Dream Hunt Contest, contestants can describe their ideal hunt at the Web site, http://www.WeatherbyDreamHunt.com. Entrants need to include the species they would hunt, who would accompany them, where the hunt would take place, and why it's their dream hunt. The contest began September 15 and ends December 31, 2007.


"Whether it's South Africa or South Dakota, one of the key elements of any hunt is the pride and enjoyment that your firearm brings to your hunting experience," said Brad Ruddell, Weatherby's vice president of sales and marketing. "Hunters have held Weatherbys to their shoulders on dream hunts around the globe for more than 60 years. The Dream Hunt Contest will allow another fortunate hunter the opportunity to take their trophy of a lifetime."

The grand-prize winner will receive the hunt described in his or her entry as well as a Mark V Accumark or Ultra Lightweight rifle in their caliber of choice, a soft side case, riflescope with mounts and a hunting journal.

* First Prize: Mark V Accumark or Ultra Lightweight
