COLUMBUS, OH --(Ammoland.com)- Our yearly fundraiser this year was 300 tickets for a dream of a lifetime. Spring 2010 I was asked to do an FHFH presentation to SCI (Safari Club International) Southern NB Chapter.

After the presentation, I had the chance to meet many avid hunters and that is when I met Murray Cruickshank.

Murray advised me that he ran a moose hunt each year in Newfoundland for 5 days – www.adventurequestoutfitters.com.

They have a 90% success rate each year to bring home a moose.

Newfoundland, Canada has the highest density of moose in the world. Murray said he wanted to help FHFH and donated the complete 5-day Newfoundland Moose Hunt to FHFH Canada, Inc. for 2011! The hunt, meals and accommodations were all included.

Gary W. Pearce from Pennsylvania

April 9th, at the end of the day, we had the draw for the moose hunt. The huge barrel rolled and Candace Mac Issac from the hit TV Show “The Best of Bull Run” on Wild TV drew the lucky name. We were shocked to see it was Gary W. Pearce from Pennsylvania. Gary had viewed our FHFH Canadian website and thought what we were doing to feed the hungry in Canada was amazing. He went ahead and purchased one ticket for $40.00. He was shocked to get our phone call on Saturday night.

He truly did not believe he won and first asked, “Are you sure it is me?”

Gary said he has never moose hunted before and has always wanted to. He said he has always wanted to do a moose and caribou hunt together. Coming to Newfoundland, Canada he will have the chance to do both with Adventure Quest Outfitters.

Thank you to all the people who chose to help feed the hungry in Canada and purchase a ticket. Your prayers were felt across both borders!

Whitetails Unlimited to Hold First Ever Mirror Events in Bucks County
To meet demand, Bucks County, Pennsylvania to have two WTU banquets in 24 hours.

Travis “T-Bone” Turner will be at the Whitetails Unlimited Bucks County (Pennsylvania) Chapter Hunters Night Out events on June 3 and 4.

Whitetails Unlimited

Pennsylvania--(Ammoland.com)-So what if you scheduled a conservation fundraising event, and everyone came?

That is the problem facing Whitetails Unlimited Field Director Dennis Malloy, because his Bucks County (Pennsylvania) Chapter Hunters Night Out sold out in two days, and there were hundreds of requests for additional tickets.

So Malloy, along with his local chapter volunteers, decided to double their workload and schedule a second, identical event to accommodate the demand.

“This is going to be a unique situation, and I’ve never seen people work as hard as they have to pull this off,” said Malloy. “The committee didn’t want to shut anyone out, and everyone has pitched in to have two identical events in 24 hours. It’s amazing, and a little humbling, to be a part of this.”

The original event is scheduled for Saturday, June 4, at the New Hope Eagle Fire Company in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The additional event will be held in the same place 24 hours earlier, on Friday, June 3.

“We are going to have an identical event both nights,” said Malloy. “The same place, the same food, the same guns and prizes, and we even have T-Bone both nights. We want to make sure no one misses anything, and by adding a second night we don’t diminish any aspect of a terrific WTU banquet experience.”

The ‘T-Bone’ Malloy referenced is Travis “T-Bone” Turner, one of the stars of Michael Waddell’s Bone Collector television show.

“Since this would be such a unique weekend, we invited T-Bone to double up with us as a bonus for the membership. T-Bone jumped at the chance, and he’s going to be at both banquets, to thank everyone for their support of WTU and share stories and his unique take on hunters and hunting. T-Bone is going to be the icing on the cake for this celebration of deer and deer hunting.”

There are still tickets remaining for the bonus Friday night event – call East Coast Taxidermy at 215-799-1900, or go on the WTU website at www.whitetailsunlimited.com. Tickets are $30 each, and include entry, meal, door prizes, beer and soft drinks. There will also be a free kids drawing and some of the best gun raffles in the country. The event invitation is available on the WTU website at: http://tiny.cc/qh6fr.

“This community is so dedicated, and they are focused on providing a fantastic whitetail weekend in eastern Pennsylvania for everyone who wants to attend,” said Malloy. “This is one of the best conservation events in the eastern part of the country, and doing two of them, back-to-back, is a fantastic way to top off the spring banquet season.”

Founded in 1982, Whitetails Unlimited is a national nonprofit conservation organization. Our mission is to raise funds in support of education, habitat enhancement and acquisition, and the preservation of the hunting tradition for the benefit of the white-tailed deer and other wildlife. When it comes to the whitetail and its environment, WTU’s degree of professionalism and dedication has earned us the reputation of being the nation’s premier whitetail organization.
