Only a Month Remaining
to Enter for Free Hunts
Visitors to
WingshootingUSA.org Can Enter
to Win One of Nine Free Bird Hunting Trips
NEWTOWN, Conn.—Time is winding down to
enter the Wingshooting USA Dream Hunts Sweepstakes for a chance to win
one of nine free bird hunts—together valued at more than $34,000—at
world-class hunting resorts around the country.
The prizes are offered to hunters visiting
www.wingshootingusa.org by
Feb. 28. The Web
site is designed to help bird hunters find easy access to good hunting.
It’s a project of the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF), a
nonprofit trade association working to keep sportsmen safe and active.
Anchoring the site is an
easy-to-use search tool for daily-fee bird hunting preserves. The leader
in listings for hunting and shooting destinations, Black’s Wing & Clay,
Waterfowl, in print for the past 12 years, provided data on over 1,000
preserves nationwide. By clicking on a U.S. map, visitors can find a
bird hunting spot close to home or across the country.
Nine hunts will be given
away. Each will give two people a totally unique bird hunting experience
in a different part of the country. The North American Gamebird
Association, an organization that promotes quality standards for hunting
preserves, arranged the hunts. A winner could land a quail hunting
adventure at a Southern plantation, or a high-plains excursion for
pheasant and chukar.

descriptions, official rules and entry form for the Wingshooting USA
Dream Hunts Sweepstakes are available at

(No purchase necessary. Sweepstakes open to legal residents of the 50
United States and the District of Columbia age 21 or older. Ends Feb.
28, 2006.) That
today’s hunting preserves are convenient and numerous is a message
reinforced by Wingshooting USA and the sweepstakes.
In a national survey,
hunters identified their top five issues as 1.) Not enough access to
places to hunt, 2.) Not having enough places to hunt, 3.) Work
obligations, 4.) Poor behavior of other hunters, and 5.) Too many
hunters in the field.
"Aside from work
obligations, all of these problems disappear when you book a customized
hunt with today’s hunting preserves," said Doug Painter, president of
NSSF. "With Wingshooting USA, we’re reaching out with a message that
highlights the wide range of benefits that hunting preserves can offer."
