2012 Global Rescue Story Contest

Hi Everyone,

I believe Ivan Carter posted about this earlier, but in case you missed it, Global Rescue is running a story contest.

2012 Global Rescue Story Contest:

Hunters have great stories and we want to hear yours.

Not about the time you missed that 6x6 muley, or the 80-plus-pound tusker that gave you the slip.

We want to hear about the time you ran into a buffalo...Or, more accurately, the buffalo that ran into you.

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a coup, drug war, a shooting match between tribes, or a tense situation with organized poaching gangs?

Or maybe you tumbled down a mountainside, or got so sick in camp that you thought you might not make it back to civilization.

Using the theme, "I lived to tell the tale" as a general guideline, write a story describing a time when you really needed Global Rescue. Stories will be reviewed by an expert panel and judged based on authenticity, originality, and the overall need for a GR membership.

Best TRUE story wins. Period.
