I submit to y'all that HNI should hold a contest (for lack of better word in my feeble mind) that would be a spinoff from Germ's thread "Best Unknown Hunter In Your State". Open it up to all registered users of Huntingnet.com with the following rules:

1. Nominee cannot be a current member of the forum;
2. Nominations are limited to one per member;
3. Members should nominateaperson they personally know, who, in their opinion, best epitomizes an American Hunter;
4. Judges determine the top 3 nominations and award those persons a prize (hat, T-shirt, etc)
5. All nominees receive a certificate from Huntingnet.com.

I further submit that such a contest would bring more top class members to the forum (and I am NOT saying we don't have some of the best hunters on here already). Said new members would also bring a lot more expertise and techniques to all members.

If it is not feasible because of the cost of doing something like this, I would gladly help out financially as much as I possibly can and would guess others would do the same.

Now that I've put it out here, what do y'all think?
