To mark two decades as an essential part of hunting season, Busch Light is ensuring fewer hunters go home empty-handed, even if they come up short in the field. Through the national Busch Taxidermy Canimal Sweepstakes, lucky fans can win custom “Canimal Taxidermy Trophies”: wildly detailed, one-of-a-kind mounts handcrafted from Busch Light cans and transformed into iconic hunting trophies, including a duck, deer and hog. Part trophy, part beer art, 100% Busch Light -- the ultimate bragging-rights for the hunter who loves the season as much as the score. Starting September 29 through October 23, beer lovers and outdoor enthusiasts 21+ can enter via @buschbeer social channels for a chance to win their very own Canimal Taxidermy Trophy*.
