HUNT REPORT GUIDELINES

Both Grand Slam and Ovis magazines are based on hunt reports sent in by members. Everyone that sends in a report is published...this is YOUR magazine.

Hunters often ask for guidelines as to what their hunt reports should contain, how long it should be, etc. The GSCO staff likes to leave the content and style up to each hunter's discretion; it is the uniqueness of each report that contributes to the style of the magazine. That being said, here are a few suggestions to get you started:
• The species you were hunting and what outfitter, if any, you hunted with.
• The date, mountain range, state/province, and country where your hunt took place.
• A paragraph or two about an exciting aspect of your hunt. For example, you might write about the details of your stalk, about a bear encounter, etc. Anything that you felt was a highlight of your hunt would be great to share.
• Tips that you learned during your hunt that might help other members on future hunts.
• A few details about the animal you took. How old was it? What were the horn lengths and base measurements?

You are welcome to submit full-length "stories" (rather than "reports") to GSCO. However, please be aware that most full-length stories are edited down to a more typical hunt report length.

The best way to submit your report is by , followed with photos mailed through the post office. That way, we have an electronic version of your hunt report and we can also use GSCO's high-quality scanners to publish your photos in our magazines. E-mailed photos, such as JPEG's, are normally set to 72 dpi, which is much too low of a resolution for print publishing.

Of course, we also accept typed, handwritten, faxed, and any other hunt report communication. Our contact information is below.
