When we can no longer
draw bows, when sinew has shrunk and bone brittle, we will
hunt in our dreams because hunting is a part of our souls.
"From dusk until dawn, sunrise to sun set After discomfort and pain have long been forgotten Amidst shivers and sweat; energy and exhaustion Somewhere between hunger and satisfaction, All thirsts are eventually quenched, when frustration brings humility, sadness gives away to exhilaration Hope generates deep accomplishment by realizing challenges met. Through it all, the hunter carefully plans his chase With but a simple prayer, asking for only one fair chance. The rest is dreaming time.* - Gene Wensel THANKS!  Sometimes,
out of the blue and totally unexpected, the nicest things happen.
Such is the case of this Whitetail mount donated by Darren Shipp of
Wild North Taxidermy in Winnipeg. Darren dropped it off after
talking to staff at the Boat Show this past March. The doe has
"snow" on it, so realistic it even fooled a couple of people into
thinking it had just been brought in from outside!! We have hung the
mount in our Hunter education classroom in the Federation office,
much to the delight of the students who have only ever seen a buck
mount. A few weeks ago, Darren stopped by the office, with yet
another donation! This time he brought a gift certificate for a
Whitetail mount, which we will us in one of our fundraising events!
Thank you Darren - your generosity is very much appreciated. |
