LAST EDITED ON Feb-17-13 AT 10:57AM (MST)[p]I don't want this to get out of hand. I have learned in life that all too often stuff like this is nothing more than communication breakdown. I don't even blame a guy trying to come to the rescue for his friend. I don't agree with the method you used. I know you thought this was the only effective tool...to go public and embarrass Trophy Rock. I don't think all the facts were laid out to the public, so they got a twisted perception of what Trophy Rock is truly all about.
I know there was communication breakdown with one contest winner, our Trophy Rock Team and Limbsaver. Like I said I thought our winner had his bow long before he really got it. I apologize to our contest winner. I am glad his winning package is complete now. It was a rare deal. We have had and will continue to have a great track record in getting prizes out to winners in a timely manner. It will never be perfect but I think it is all but perfect.
We don't have to do a trail contest with awesome prizes. We choose to do it because we know those who use Trophy Rock enjoy it so much! We do too!! It's a great thing, its not 100% perfect but we strive to make it perfect. I love calling a hunter up and telling them they just won something cool.
I am excited this year, I get to join our Grand Prize winner on an archery hunt on Wade Heaton's place in Southern Utah. Monster bucks! The winner is from MO and has never been in the Rocky's or harvested a mule deer. He is our fifth Grand prize hunt winner, all have taken a nice mule deer or whitetail buck. Winners either get to whitetail hunt in OH or mule deer hunt in UT or CO. We pay the flight, the permit, the hunt, the food and lodging and the taxidermy fee to get it mounted.
Our Second Grand Prize has been a muzzle load package worth $4K..the gun alone is $2.5K an Ultimate Arms Muzzle loader. Every year they have gotten all that was promised.
Our Third Grand Prize each year is an archery package worth $2K. Usually its a totally decked out bow..usually Ross or Limbsaver, clothing, trail camera, Glen Dell full rut target.
Thanks to all those companies who love to sponsor our contest, we also give out about 40 monthly contest prizes a year too.
We sell about 90% of our Trophy Rock to Whitetail hunters. Eastern Soils lack trace mineral, so Trophy Rock and Whitetail hunting go hand in hand in today's hunting. There are 1o million whitetail hunters. This is why if you go to our contest you will see the majority of entries and winners are from whitetail states. However, we "love" to see quality trail picks from the west and several winner's have been from the West with their Deer and Elk pics.
I am not trying to plug Trophy Rock with saying all this...just doing some damage control after what has been negatively said about Trophy Rock and say take a look at our winners gallery.
