Hunting
I've got a Brunton Firestorm stormproof butane camping lighter sitting on my desk and want to give it away to whomever finds the best link to an interesting hunting, fishing, camping, or survival-related story. The rules are simple; each entry should contain a working URL to the story along with a brief headline and a 20-word (or less) summary of what we'll find if we click on that link. I'll pick my favorite by Friday and get the lighter in the mail by Monday 2/16. Email any questions to webmaster@fieldandstream.com, and good luck!

The Most Crazy Fishing Trip Ever!
This is a story about an offshore fishing trip that turned into possibly the weirdest series of events. I did not believe it at first, but its pretty apparent that it is true with the wealth of pictures backing it up. Its a must read crazy story.

Twenty years ago, olympic biathlete Kari Swenson was kidnapped near Big Sky, MT while on a training run...Her abductors, Dan and Don Nichols were self-proclaimed "mountain men" and had kidnapped Ms. Swenson so that she could become Dan's wife...Ms. Swenson's abduction set off a nation-wide search and resulted in the shooting death of a would-be rescuer Alan Goldstein...
Mentioned in the below article is my former employer Tom Heintz owner of Medicine Lake Outfitters, out of Bozeman, MT...Tom and my father are the hunters who first ran into the Nichols' in the Spanish Peaks, south of Bozeman...My Dad and Tom had a few tense moments during the encounter, which thankfully ended peacefully...The Nichols' were eventually captured and imprisoned...The entire affair spawned movies, books and songs and is talked about frequently among my family...

Everyone either has or should have a deer camp story. Here's mine: http://armchairoutfitter.com/2008/02/24/deer-camp-story-1000001/
This is a story about myself, as a young lad, who developed a passion for the great outdoors and Big Bucks, early in life as a hunter.Someone else tagged the state record I shot ... after all of these years I believe I can "now prove" it's mine as I'm about to confront the one who claimed it as his own!

Don't mine my other comment it was the wrong website.
Alright! You all sent in great links, but when it comes to winners, there can be only one. The nod goes to VT Outdoorsman, with his story about a fishing boat that became trapped in a tuna pen in the Sea of Cortez, which wins in part because of all the photos that ran with the story. VT, you get the lighter. I'll be in touch.
WOW. Thanks a lot! As soon as I saw this contest on here I thought of that story. I read it earlier this summer and I thought it was really amazing. This was a fun contest, and some of the stories really had me in stitches. Thanks again.
Wow that was a lot of sashimi.
I know I'm joining this thread a little late in the game but, oh well. Check out my hunting stories at http://huntingdads.com
I started a blog & website about hunting w/ kids. I have several short stories on there and adding more.
The Old Hunting Road is about a time I went turkey hunting with my daughter and the amazing creature we observed.
My Son's First Buck is about whitetail hunting w/ my 4-yr old son. Gotta read this one about my 4-year old's first buck.
