A beautiful gobbler might not be the only prize a successful turkey hunter brings home.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission is sponsoring its inaugural Turkey Harvest Photo Contest, and hunters submitting photos of themselves with their 2017 Pennsylvania gobblers are eligible to win one of two personalized, engraved box calls from Top Calls, of Renovo, Pa.
Pennsylvania’s one-day youth season for spring gobblers was held on Saturday, April 22. And photos of successful youth hunters with their spring gobblers already have begun to come in.
All entries received will be entered in either the adult hunter or youth hunter category and narrowed to a field of finalists, with one winner in each category then selected by voters on the Game Commission’s Facebook page.
But you have to enter to win. Hunters should be sure to submit photos of their 2017 Pennsylvania harvests by email to pgc-contest@pa.gov. Submissions should include the first and last name of anyone in the photo, the hunter’s hometown and the county the turkey was harvested.
The contest is scheduled to run through Monday, June 5, with the winners selected shortly thereafter.
