I will be there, along with these two. I hope we can get them one! The one on the right is my Daughter and the left is her buddy. Should be a great time by all.

Well, the hunt is now over, and here is an email I got from one of the winners of a FOXPRO. We have been supporting this event for years, and will continue for years to come! Emails like this make it worth it!



I would like to thank you for your donations to the Utah youth coyote hunt. My husband and I have attended the event every year, and have always taken note of your generosity. In fact, the youth hunt is how we first heard about your products.

Last night, my husband, Cris, and I had so much fun watching the children's faces as they ran up the get their prizes. When they gave out the FOXPRO's, the kids literally jumped out of their seats and ran to the stage when they won! I don't think the parents could keep the smiles off their faces, either! I wish you could have been there to see it!

We saw several certificates for FOXPRO units to be given out to youth hunters, so we were very surprised when my husband won one in the adult drawing as well! In fact, the way the adult drawing was ran, a ticket was pulled out of the bucket and the winner had their choice of prizes. There were some beautiful rifles available to be chosen, as well as a camo Benelli shotgun. My husbands ticket was the first one out of the bucket. He passed up every one of those guns, without even looking at them, and went straight for the FOXPRO! I never thought I would see the day that Cris would pass up a gun - especially those of such high quality, but he did! And he beamed the whole time! He talked about that FOXPRO the entire trip home and went to bed with a huge smile on his face.

Thank you again for your generosity. I know that my husband will enjoy your call for years, and already has plans on taking out our newborn daughter as soon as she is old enough to hunt. I think that your donation is very special. After seeing the youth hunters who won the FOXPRO systems, I know they are excited about hunting. They are going to be begging their parents to take them out, and will develop a deep love of hunting like you and I share. It’s the best thing anyone can do to preserve the future of the sports we all cherish.

Thank you so much,

Stacy Dew

PS - Thank you for your help with my Christmas shopping as well! I wasn’t sure what to get Cris, but after seeing your decoys at the banquet last night, I think its just the ticket! THANK YOU!



This is a picture of Cris at the hunt. Someone had a FOXPRO at the check-in so they were able to get the winners with pictures of your products. Thanks again!
 
Yes they will. The hunt will be Nov. 11 and is based out of Nephi Utah. I hear they are limiting it to 80 teams this year as itis getting so big , it's hard to get prizes for EVERY kid. I'll try to get some information and get it posted in a new thread.
 
If there is anyone out there that needs any info on this hunt or how to get involved shoot me a PM.

Or if you are interested in making a donation shoot me a PM

Thanks

Im planning on being there and will be teaming with RanUtah. Feel free to make another thread with all the details. Would also be nice to know who we are talking with and sending donations to. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-003.gif
 
Here is the information for anyone who may be interested






Welcome all coyote hunters to the 7th annual U.T.A. Youth Coyote Hunt
November 11th, 2006


This will be a state wide hunt for all interested coyote hunters. With a special invite to youth hunters age 17 and under accompanied by a responsible adult. Please make sure any youth hunters on your team are old enough to have a positive and fun experience and above all that they
are safe. We strongly encourage all youth hunters using firearms to have successfully completed a hunter's safety course.


The basics of this hunt are as follows:

* Teams may consist of up to 3 adults and 3 youth

* Entry fees are $25 per adult, youth participate free

* Each team must include one current member of the UTA or one team member must pay $20 to become a member

* Plaques will be awarded for 1st thru 5th place

* Prizes will be awarded in separate drawings for adults and
youth. All participants will be eligible for prizes. Prizes will be awarded in Nephi at the end of the hunt

* All youth participants Will win a prize

* All proceeds from entry fees will be used to purchase prizes

* There will be no cash prizes

* All teams must check in after the hunt at the Juab County
fairgrounds in Nephi no later than 6 pm November 11th at which time food, trophies and prizes will be awarded


Due to the rapid growth of this hunt, we will be capping it at 80 teams this year. So make sure you get your pre-registration form sent in early. Any pre-registration received post marked after November 1st, will NOT be accepted. A Pre-registration form is included in this
mailing. Last year we had over 270 participants. Securing enough prizesis becoming difficult: therefore we strongly encourage all participants to make an effort to assist in gathering prizes to be awarded. For each $25 worth of prizes, or cash donations you bring in, you will be entered
in a separate drawing for a gun (specific gun not yet determined).Please put serious effort into gathering at least one prize to ensure all participants a good opportunity to win. The prize you gather may
well mean the difference of you or someone else on your team winning a prize or going home empty handed. Also please get a business card or letterhead from the prize donor so they can be recognized for their generosity. The donors name will be put in yet a separate drawing for a
gun.


Also this year we will be having a "Spirit of the Hunt" award. The prize for this will be one of the highlights of the night and you won't want to miss your chance to win this one. To qualify for the "spirit of the hunt" award you must write down a story of a previous year's memorable moment participating in the youth hunt and send it in with
your application. If you have a good story, make sure you send it in because this prize is a one of a kind and you won't want to miss your chance at it.


Our intent is to hold an event where all have fun and share the sport we all love with Our Youth. The organizers of this hunt put great effort into assuring a fun, safe and memorable experience for all. We hope you share this goal with us. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions please feel free to contact me.
