Howdy folks!

We hope your Fall season is off to a fantastic start! For many of you, “all the seasons” are about to begin (or may have already started) – from hunting season to hiking season to trapping season to camping season, etc. And as you begin these exciting adventures, we wanted to let you in on something else that we’re excited about!

We’re hosting our annual Wolf Valley Forge Photo Contest again this year!!!

For those of you new here, here’s how it works…

This contest is not about photography skills, but it is about sending in your tasteful photos for an entry into our drawing for a free Wolf Valley Forge Axe, shipped free to your US address! That’s right, you could win an axe here!

We have several categories for your photos, and we will be the judge of how many entries you receive in the random drawing, based on the type of picture(s) you submit. So, here are your options…

  • A photo of your Wolf Valley Forge axe. (1 entry)
  • A photo of you and your hunting trophy. (1 entry)
  • A photo of your Wolf Valley Forge axe with its work (examples – a tree it felled, cutting kindling, a camp setting it assisted with, etc.) (2 entries)
    –

Cell phone photos are welcome! Please do try to make them clear, not blurry, but no professional photography skills required. We just want your photos! 🙂

The fine print…1. Please only send one photo per time/setting/event. You can send multiple pictures, but they need to be from different times. 2. Please specify if you don’t want your picture posted on the Wolf Valley Forge site. We may not post every picture, but we have disclosure to, unless otherwise noted. 3. Preferably photos should be fairly recent, at least within the last couple years. 4. International entries are welcome, but shipping charges will apply. Thank you! 5. Last year’s Photo Contest Winner isn’t able to win again this year, sorry! But we’d still love to see your photo adventures and share them on the website!

Please email your photos to: ike@wolfvalleyforge.com.

The deadline for photo submissions is November 30th, 2023.

We’re so excited about seeing your 2023 axe and adventure photos coming in, and look forward to sharing them with everyone!! So, you ready??? Set? GO!!!

The season you’ve all been waiting for! (or atleast…some of you) Cooler temperatures, color changes, wood smoke, good memories to be made with good company, and of course…hunting, camping and hiking season!

We’re so honored to be a part of your season, with every adventure your Wolf Valley Forge Axe accompanies you for. And we’d love to see those photos! (don’t forget about our annual Wolf Valley Forge photo contest, details coming soon!)

We hope you have a wonderful Autumn, making memories that will last a lifetime.

Did you know that you can check out the Gallery page for more axe photos? As you shop and plan what type of Wolf Valley Forge axe YOU would like, we hope these past custom axes give you some ideas and inspiration for your very own!

You can find them HERE.

(and don’t forget that we have a running Model Spotlight Series here on the blog as well, in which we feature many custom axes. Hope you’ll enjoy!)
