The North American Hunting Club has teamed up with LeupoldIrish Setter and Nightwhine Trading Post & Taxidermy to reward members for their hunting success! The Big Game Awards are open to all NAHC members who have taken North American game animals in a 2012 fair chase hunt. More than 60 prizes will be awarded with several different ways to win.

Random Drawing
All entries, no matter the size of the animal, are eligible for the random drawings. Winners are selected from within three hunting tool categories – firearm (including rifles, shotguns, and handguns), muzzleloader and archery, plus one all-inclusive category.

One Shot Kill Award
Any animal taken with one shot qualifies. Entrants must include a 500-1,000-word story about their hunt along with their entry. The winner will be selected based on the quality of the story and photos.
