What to Write?

We’re looking for articles on all aspects of Virginia hunting. Specifically, we want practical information that our members can apply to their own hunts. Articles on out-of-state hunts will be considered, particularly if they tell the Virginia hunter how it was planned and arranged. We also want natural history topics, for example coyote territorial behavior, deer rut behavior, or any other animal behavior or habitat information that will increase the understanding and effectiveness of the showmeyourbuck.com members. Also, well-written philosophical pieces that make a point are in demand.

We also want the funny stories that you feel some of your friends enjoy that many others may enjoy as well. Photos are welcome of course.

Other good topics are presenting a professional image, educating non-hunters, non-consumptive uses of wildlife, hunting ethics issues, and relating to officials and organizations. Often you will get ideas for articles while reading hunting magazines. Sometimes you may disagree with a writer in a print magazine. Take the opposite position and write your own article. Often you’ll read an excellent article, and can think of several ways that writer could have reinforced his point. Make those the subject of your own article. Prove yourself a good writer with something positive and constructive to say, and you may be given assignments from time to time.

If you mention certain products, companies, books, Internet resources etc., be sure to include information on how to contact those resources. You may use a footnote to do this. Remember, our members are information seekers and will probably want to learn more about the product or topic of your article.
