I liked the hunter of the month stories. Won it once or twice way back when. It made people put more time and effort into the stories of their hunts, raised the bar even for those not intent on competing.
I also think that a prize is not necessarily required, I know that part adds quite a bit to the management of the program. But if there were some prizes needed to kind of jump start the system back (or if it would be a regular thing, either way) I would donate a few of my closed reed calls I make as prizes. So whoever is in charge of that part of it, if you need something just shoot me a PM and I will spin something up. Or if you guys need some prizes for something else, some other idea y'all have, just let me know.
