Scholarship Check

This Check will be presented to Brandon McGuire on Saturday night at a packed conservation banquet in Fredericksburg, VA! It is cooperation with the NWTF Fredericksburg, VA Chapter that I am honored to bestow this check to Brandon McGuire. I met Brandon 3 years ago at an NWTF Jakes Day and I have had the pleasure of becoming friends with this young man. He is off to college this fall and an Antelope Hunt in Wyoming with myself and another good friend Dennis Brauchle! Saturday is going to be a ton of fun and I am really looking forward to a great night and raising some money for TURKEY HABITAT!!!!!!

QDMA Rockinham County Branch Banquet

Doubleclick on the picture and print it out and get yourselves out to the QDMA banquet in Rockingham, VA on May 12th! This looks to be a fun event and I am planning on attending after a morning turkey hunt with one of the members. Quality Deer Management is a great organization and is teaching people around the country how to responsibly care for their land and the animals that frequent it! Go here to learn more:Quality Deer Management Association


I will film the turkey hunt and if we have any luck, I will drop it up and place the video on the website! Thank you to Larry Smallwood on the committee for arranging a turkey hunt for me and getting me the information for this fantastic event! I look forward to being there!

Give Keith Wilt a call at 540-433-2482 to get yourselves some tickets!

Staunton RMEF Banquet

The Staunton banquet for the RMEF in Staunton, VA is one of my favorites! A real class team of volunteers and a great group of attendees. The food is excellent and the night is a ton of fun!


Little Torrie Smallwood started off the night with a big bugle from this wonderful little girl. I hope she keeps it up and gets out there during elk season soon. I would love to see her call in her first big bull!

Off to the Bull Run Banquet tomorrow in Burke, VA.

I am off to the Bull Run RMEF banquet tomorrow. I am really excited to attend this banquet because www.huntinglife.com is giving away Bushnell Binoculars to all of the kids in attendance at this banquet. I love doing things like this for kids.

This is kind of my home banquet as it is the very first one that I attended several years ago. I have been hooked on conservation banquets and auctions ever since. I get to eat some pretty good food, I get to talk hunting and conservation, I get to donate some money to charities I love and I get to see friends that all believe in the same thing.

Next week I am off to Staunton, VA for another banquet and then I have a week off to spend at home and working on huntinglife.com and then I have an NWTF banquet here in Fredericksburg, VA on April 7th, 2007. A bit of history is that the NWTF started here in Fredericksburg, VA but there is no recognition of that fact at this banquet. I will have pictures up on Sunday from the banquet and I will catch up on some reviews of some great sites I have found online.

Please Join the Mule Deer Foundation. I am personally a member and I think this organization is doing great work.

2007 New Mexico Lt. Governor’s
Statewide Mule Deer Lottery License

For the fourth year in a row the Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) is assisting the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish with the auction and raffle of the New Mexico Lt. Governor’s Deer Enhancement Licenses. We recently conducted the auction for a license at our annual convention in Salt Lake City, UT where the license brought $50,000.

The Riudoso, NM chapter of MDF is assisting with the raffle of a license. Raffle tickets cost $20 each. The drawing for the lucky winner will take place at the Game and Fish Commission meeting in July. Now it is your chance to get one of these special licenses for as little as $20. The more you buy the better the chances of winning.

Proceeds from the auction and raffle will be used for deer management and propagation in New Mexico. The licenses will be authorized for use from September 1 through January 31 with any legal sporting arm. These licenses will be valid statewide only on public land where hunting is allowed, including Department owned WMAs and private land with prior written permission. The bag limit for these hunts is one antler-point restricted deer.


Print out the form and mail it in today!
