Contest: Write a Caption. Win a Free Waterfowl Gear Bag from L.L. Bean
By David DiBenedetto

Many of you have asked about the next Man’s Best Friend contest. Well, wait no longer. Thanks to photographer and author Tosh Brown, we have a great image in need of caption.
And now for the prize: The generous folks at L.L. Bean have handed over a brand-new Magnum Flyway Blind Bag ($99, below) to give away. It’s loaded with pockets, has a sturdy plastic bottom to keep your shells and other necessities dry, and a full-coverage flip-top lid to form an umbrella for protection in foul weather.

Most of you know the drill, but here’s a refresher: Provide your caption in the comments section below. It can be long, short, funny, straight—you make the call. (But here’s a tip: Funny usually wins out.) Enter as many times as you like.
I’ll announce the winner on June 28. Good luck and have fun.
