HARRISBURG, PA - Hunters, get your photos in.
Not much time remains to submit photos as part of two contests the Pennsylvania Game Commission is sponsoring.
The deadline for the Buck Harvest Photo Contest is Sunday, Dec. 17. And the deadline for the Beyond the Harvest Photo Contest is Dec. 31.
The contests are different from one another, but the winners selected in each will receive prizes.
Photos submitted as part of the inaugural Beyond the Harvest Photo Contest can be of the landscape or wildlife surrounding your favorite hunting spot, the person sitting beside you in the stand, the meal you share after a successful hunt or any other special moment surrounding your Pennsylvania hunting experience that goes beyond the harvest.
To enter, submit a photo showing an aspect of hunting other than the harvest and provide a short explanation about why it is meaningful to you. E-mail the submission to pgc-contest@pa.gov using “BTH” in the subject line. Hunters may send more than one submission. Photos must be taken in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, hunters who take Pennsylvania bucks during the 2017 archery or firearms seasons are eligible to submit photos of their trophies to the Game Commission’s Buck Harvest Photo Contest. Those photos also should be emailed to pgc-contest@pa.gov. Use “BUCK HARVEST” in the subject line.
Game Commission staff will narrow the submitted photos in each contest into groups of contenders to be posted on the agency’s Facebook page, where users will determine the winning photos by “liking” the images. Those submitting the images of the winning archery and firearms bucks will win trail cameras.
For more information about either contest and prizes, visit the Game Commission’s website.
