I think the drawings were a big hit also ! Some great prizes for our successful hunters and some for a few others who came to show their support 💪🏼

Each of our successful hunters were presented with a Certificate of Achievement for their success this season. No matter how big or how small the harvest, the time spent in the outdoors, lessons learned, and the memories made are all successes and are important to shaping the future of the outdoors and our communities.
