Results of our "African Hunting Story Contest"!

We've had an "African Hunting Story Contest" on our website www.kalahari-trophy-hunting.com .

The prize for the best story entered on site before June 30, 2008 is a hunt with us in the Kalahari of Namibia.

It includes

Five (5) days of FREE accommodation for the hunter and his/her partner. The following FREE Trophies to hunt: 1 Gemsbok, 1 Springbok, 1 Steenbok, 1 Duiker

See detail on this link.

(Picture below: Ross Talbot hunted this huge Gemsbok with us in the Kalahari!)

Well, the results are in. We received all our judges' points for every story and the computer has done the calculation.

One of the judges said in the mail (containing his results) the following:

"It is a privilege to read all these stories, but a punishment to judge it. Every story is excellent and everyone who reads it, needs only a tiny bit of imagination to enjoy the hunt with the author."
~ Lionel, Western Cape, South Africa

This was our experience also. It really is a pity that we can not give this prize to everyone of the authors. So...
