WSI is helping to spearhead fundraising efforts for the North Texas Buckskin Brigades Youth Camp. This camp is part of the award-wining Texas Brigades Youth Camps, which are designed to be youth leadership development camps where "cadets" are put through a rigorous, but fun and rewarding, program over a 4-day period, where they are trained to hopefully become ambassadors for wildlife and fisheries conservation, while also becoming an advocate for our important hunting, fishing, and ranching heritage.

                                                                                                                             

WSI will host a fundraiser dove hunt near San Angelo on Thursday afternoon, September 19. The fee is $125 per hunter, $100 of which is dedicated to NTBuB, while the other $25 will cover the cost of an evening meal and drinks. And if that's not enough, anyone who participates in the hunt will be eligible for the drawing of a 3-day free-range aoudad hunt in West Texas, also hosted by WSI, which is a $4700 value. Aoudad hunt must be taken sometime between February 1 - May 1, 2017. For those who cannot attend the dove hunt, but would like to be in the drawing for the aoudad hunt, you can simply purchase "lottery" tickets for $100 per ticket...we are limiting it to 100 tickets, with all ticket revenues going to NTBuB. The drawing for the aoudad hunt will be performed on October 12 at the Texas Wildlife Association office during their Executive Committee meeting. The dove hunt is limited to the first 40 registrants.

 

The funds that are raised for this camp will largely help fund scholarships that are given to select camp cadets who are high achievers, not only during the camp, but after the camp through speaking engagements that the cadets provide, poster presentations, and other ways for them to earn points. WSI owner, Greg Simons, has been active at the NTBuB camp since its inception, and according to Simons, "The monies that you'll spend on this fundraising campaign will go to a very meaningful cause, helping to make a difference in a young person's life, while also benefitting our conservation community. I assure you...you have spent a lot more and received much less. Please support this effort."

 

Should you not choose to participate in the dove hunt, or to buy raffle tickets for the aoudad hunt, then you can simply make a donation. For further information, call our WSI office at 325-655-0877 or drop us an email at wildlife@wildlifesystems.com
