Win a Vermont Turkey Hunt – Youth Essay Contest

Outdoors Magazine

Vermont --(Ammoland.com)- The Barre Fish and Game Club is now accepting essay-style applications for its new Outdoor Adventure series.

The first adventure will be an “all-inclusive” youth turkey hunt. It will take place in the Central Vermont area. Lodging and food will be supplied Friday night through Sunday afternoon on the Vermont Youth Turkey Hunting Weekend; April 23 & 24, 2011.

Hunting destinations will be pre-scouted and landowner permission obtained. Our intention is to provide children and their families with a turkey hunting adventure “straight out of the hunting shows.”

Knowledgeable, qualified and experienced hosts from the Barre Fish & Game Club will accompany the children and families throughout the adventure.

The second adventure scheduled will be a bear hunt over bait during the New Hampshire black bear season. More details for this hunt will become available during the summer of 2011.

Leupold’s UltimateSlam scope is finished in Mossy Oak treestand camo and features the company’s Sabot Ballistics Reticle, which provides precise hold points for 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 yards.

Our second gift, the NRA Gunsmithing Tool Set, comes with screwdrivers, solid brass pin punches, and a solid brass hammer, all kept in a durable soft case. The eight screwdrivers are hand assembled and custom hollow-ground to fit scope, plug, guard, floor plate and sight screws. The screwdrivers feature square-shanked blades that are hardened and tempered and guaranteed not to twist or chip, while the handles are composed of Maine hardwood and feature the NRA letters. The eight brass pin punches are sized from 1/16” to 5/16,” and each punch has “NRA USA” engraved on the side. The hammer is made from solid hand-polished brass with a hickory handle that showcases the NRA logo. The entire set is made in the USA and retails for $99.95.
