How come the bear hunting contest (Grin & Bear It) on the home page is only open to our friends to the south ?

I also would like to know why we cannot enter the bear hunting contest? I have nothing against our neighbors, but we also support these businesses, so why NOT allow us all to enter? Come on, make it fair or give us a contest to go hunting in the USA! Please make it fair Bill!

Hi,

I was waiting for our first email addressing this. We are not offering the bear hunt, we are only sponsoring it with a prize. The US companys offering the prizes have run into problems allowing Canadians to attend the hunt as the state they are from have restrictions on who can get prizes. Most US contests will not allow Canadians to enter or win contests. I thinks its crazy and personally do not agree with it but thats the way it is. Maybe someday we will have an Excalibur contest and not allow Americans to win!

There is no time like the present !

How about Excalibre sponsoring a Fall Bear hunt here in the Great White North for us Canadians Eh ?

I bet the bear hunt will be somewhere in Canada, oh well good luck to our American friends and if it's for two people the winner can just PM me when and where

I don't like it either. All or none I say!!!! I have been blessed with some great frindships with Canadian members on this forum and I have to say that if the rolls were reversed I'd be concerned as well. I wish that Excalibur could have found an alternative source so that would allow ALL can participate. But then again, what do I know

Tell you guy's what. If you all want to have a Bear hunting contest, I'm all for it.
Many of you know I've been a Bear hunter for a while, and Love the sport. If anyone wants to do a contest for Bear only I'm in. I will co-ordinate the contest, and post frequently what the standings are. As well, I will donate another set of Custom Arrows, of the winners choice, when announced. And, I may take a couple people to my place for a three day hunt as well, during the contest, for those who do not have a place, nor can afford a place to hunt Bear.
How about that.

And I will speak to Peter about this and see what he has to say.

I think that would be a great idea. Excalibur might even be willing to donate a prize also.
