How did you like our banquets? From all reports we have received, everyone attending in Elko and Las Vegas had a wonderful time. I want to thank everyone who made these events special. A very special thanks to Billy, Bushey, Steve, and Darlene for without their support we could never have done what we did with so much flair and class! While I'm thanking people, there is one special person who I would like to thank. All sportsmen in the state of Nevada should thank this person for his generous support of HUNTER'S ALERT!". Without his support, we could not have reached a fraction of the people that we do now. His true concern for sportsmen has given us a special impetus to reach as many and fight as hard as we can to keep our heritage of hunting and fishing alive. This very special person chooses to remain anonymous, but to him and his undying loyalty, I offer a salute from all sportsmen in this great state of Nevada!

In September of this year I made a hunting trip to South Africa. Upon my return home, I recounted to my friends and family the enjoyment, excitement, and great hunting experience I had. After they left, I was relaxing and reminiscing about the hunt when a thought crossed my mind. "Why did I have to travel to Africa to hunt?" It wasn't the exotic animals, the excitement of travel, or hopes for adventure. It was the hunt itself. The love of hunting and being able to hunt hired me to a country half way round the world. Of course, like all hunters I wanted to be successful.
