Recap of the recent WILD SHEEP FOUNDATION PREMIER CONSERVATION PERMITS
WOW! WOW! WOW! What a SHOW to say the least. It was exciting non stop auctions and BREAKING RECORDS. It is so great to see everyone from the sheep FAMILY each and every year. Kim Nieters and her team have always done an exceptional job in putting together an OUTSTANDING auction list for the auction team to work with. This year was no different.
Gray Thornton takes pride in heading up this great organization and it shows. Each and every night people were recognized for their efforts and support of the Wild Sheep Foundation. Standing Ovations were common and most deserved for the recipients.
Many THANKS to all of the donors and buyers. Everyone came together to support all venues of conservation efforts, education and humanitarian efforts. Below are some of the highlights of the auction.
I want everyone to realize that greater majority of dollars raised GOES BACK TO ALL CONSERVATION efforts to that state, province or country that the donation was secured from. All I can say there are some AMAZING people that love to hunt and fish and supported ALL CONSERVATION efforts by bidding high!
