(Plymouth, Minn.) — If you've got a sporting canine that is a true companion in your outdoor pursuits, Outdoor News Inc. and Kinetic Performance Dog Food invite you to submit a photo of your dog to enter the 2017 Huntin' Buddy Photo Contest.

The annual promotion by Outdoor News encourages bird dog enthusiasts in Minnesota to submit a photo of their hunting dog for a chance to win a year's supply of Kinetic Performance Dog Food, and a custom painting of their canine companion by Outdoor News artist, Ron Nelson. The winning photo will appear on the cover of the August 11th edition of Minnesota Outdoor News, and at Game Fair, which kicks off August 11th in Anoka, Minn.

Game Fair is an outdoors gathering that brings families together with hunting dog events, shotgunning, archery and outdoor seminars, and the Outdoor News Huntin' Buddy contest celebrates that pure bond between a hunter and their dog.

Entries will be accepted through July 28. Find the online form at: http://www.outdoornews.com/2017/06/14/2017-hunting-buddy-photo-contest/
