As promised we have a Hunter of the Year award to hand out. Things have been busy around here and we had to get some things sorted out (prize wise) to make this happen but at last here we go...

I have gathered up the top voted stories for 2009 and we will have a week long viewing and vote to award some really great stuff. I personally want to thank everyone who has taken the time to put together stories during 2009 and expecially the sponsors and HOB's who make this possible. I can't say enough about the effort that our HOB's put into the monthly prizes and how much we all appreciate their effort...

Well, enough with that it's timeto get to the goodies!

First Place
The story that ends up with the most votes will be receiving a very nice, brand spanking new Savage Model 9317FV in .17HMR.


Can you say WOW??? Savage Arms has really stepped up in a big way and the lucky winner will be receiving a very nice rig... All of the details for the rifle can be found here.

Second Place
The story that comes in second will receive a Fox Pro Spitfire...

We have all heard of them and allot of you guys have used them but this is a chance for one lucky member to get an awesome little unit that will hopefully contribute to your next Hunter of the Month success...
Details of the Spitfire can be found here.

April from Yoters Den has also offered to throw in a SpitFire deployment bag. I have had a couple of their products and what they do is top notch. Check those guys out over there, I'm sure they can help you out with all of your e-call storage needs...




Third Place
The third place story will receive a prize package from The Verminator and Carver Calls that will accompany a custom knife from Rainshadow1... The Verminator package will include "The Verminators IV - Predator or Prey", a Verminator Tweety, and a Verminator window decal! Mr. Carver has donated a copy of his video "21 Days in Coyote Heaven" and a Rubber Rabbit!

If you haven't seen Steve's knives and calls on the forum you are really missing out. Steve has become a terrific knife maker in particular over the past few years and a real source of pride for us here at Predator Masters. I'm extremely proud to have the chance to work with him on the HOY program and am really excited to get to offer up one of his product's. The knife that will be given away is shown below as is Steve's website; take a minute and look through his product's, you won't be dissapointed!

Come on guys! Every vote counts. Even the ones for me?
I don't know what they were thinking letting me in here, but it's too late now

Ok, I have a favor to ask. When the results are released, I really don't want to see a zero on the vote count next to my name. So if atleast one person out there would throw me a bone and give me atleast one vote, I would appreciate it.

Boomy, Any dead cat is a good cat!!! There's your bone.

There are indeed some great stories and yours is one of them Boomy!

What do you guys think about the prizes? Don't we have some great sponsors???

Great looking prizes. Wish everybody the best of luck. Thanks sponsors. Could'nt do it without you guys! Thanks to you also Cody. Dasher

Thanks..............

The prizes are great. It was hard to pick a favorite story they are all good. I just like to see dead cats.

Sorry catwhacker, I misunderstood your post. I took it as the old "...here's your tip- don't go to a meat market with a vegan..." So let me reprase it to-> THANKS



cbosshog79- The prizes are very cool. I want that Rainshadow knife.

Dang,that was tough! I voted. And I thought HOM was tough!!

Done...

You're not the only one!!!

I would say just about any of those prizes could be interchanged between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Thanks a bunch to the donors.

Nate
