Mountain Hunter is looking for compelling guided hunting and freshwater fishing stories for Spring 2027. Every eligible story must feature a hunt or freshwater fishing trip with a GOABC member guide or outfitter who was a member at the time of the experience and remains a member when the story is printed.
Freshwater anglers and guides: this story call is for you, too.
Expressions of interest close November 30, 2026. Publication is not guaranteed.
Hi! I’m Brenda, the editor of Mountain Hunter Magazine, and I look forward to hearing about your memorable guided hunting or freshwater fishing experience in British Columbia!
Have a finished or partial draft? Send what you have. Approximately 2,000-3,000 words works well, but there is no required length.
Send voice notes, bullet points or answers by email, or apply for a short interview. Brenda can develop a draft from the raw material.
Have a strong photo sequence? Propose a story told primarily through original, full-resolution photographs and captions.
You will receive five complimentary copies mailed anywhere in Canada or the United States, professional editing and magazine design, a branded PDF reprint, and a Featured in Mountain Hunter graphic for Facebook and Instagram.
The featured GOABC member guide or outfitter receives a member spotlight, five extra copies and the same shareable assets.
If your idea is selected for further review, we will provide a Dropbox folder. Upload the original files directly from the camera or phone at full resolution. Do not send screenshots, images downloaded from Facebook or Instagram, or files resized or compressed by email or messaging apps.
A strong story needs more than a single success photograph. Include landscapes, water or terrain, camp or accommodations, transportation, guides and hunting or fishing companions, preparation, weather, daily life, action, and the moments that moved the experience forward.
Please identify the photographer and everyone pictured. You must own the photographs or have permission from the copyright owner to provide them for publication in Mountain Hunter. Before we begin developing a selected story, we will confirm photo permissions and provide the required Mountain Hunter photo release form(s).
Your hunt deserves more than a photo on your phone. Your story deserves to be immortalized in print.
When your story appears in Mountain Hunter™, it’s not just a keepsake for you — it’s free word-of-mouth for your outfitter, and terrific entertainment for everybody else. Everybody wins.
It’s easy! Just fill this out and you’re in the running to win a YETI prize. Submit within 30 days of your hunt for double entry.
Pro Tip from your guide:
“Don’t let this hunt disappear. Fill this out, and you might see your story in Mountain Hunter™. That’s bragging rights for you — and free publicity for us.”
Your legacy in print will last longer than a social media post!
We’ll help you tell the most compelling version of your adventure and share it with your community via Mountain Hunter.
