This month marks the one year anniversary of Gun Dog Chat! Where did that year go?? We launched this site on opening day last year to give you an alternate place to share your hunting stories, away from the distraction and censorship of big social media. To celebrate this milestone, we’re not giving away a book this month, instead we’re giving away a SportDOG training system. To be eligible for this contest, you only need to create at least one post, on Gun Dog Chat ( https://gundogchat.com ) during the month of September. The more you post, the better your chances of winning. I’ll compile a list of all post made during the month of September and the winner will be randomly selected from the list. One post equals one entry, ten post equals ten entries. You’ll even be able to select the SportDOG system that you want from the following list:

The Field Sentential 1825 - https://www.sportdog.com/e-collars/fieldsentinel-1825/ ,
The Wetlandhunter Camo 1825 - https://www.sportdog.com/e-collars/wetlandhunter-1825x/,
The HoundHunter 3225 -https://www.sportdog.com/e-collars/houndhunter-3225/
The UplandHunter 1875 - https://www.sportdog.com/e-collars/uplandhunter-1875/
