2006 SCI Banquet and the start of this fine adventure!!

I would be remiss if I didn't mention SCI's role in our fine adventure. A year ago last spring at the annual SCI banquet I was the opening, and lucky for me, the only bidder on a 4 man 10 day hunt to South Africa. The trip was donated by Angelo Joanno of Big Time Safaris. The trip includes 8 trophies (2 kudu, 2 blesbok, 2 bushbuck, 2 impala) and a bunch of taxidermy from Edwin at High Country Taxidermy. Truly a trip of a lifetime for me and my compatriots! Deals like this don't come around very often and you have to jump on them when you can. (fortune favors the bold!!) If this sounds like a plug for SCI, it is!! I now have the opportunity to go to Africa with 4 of my best friends and the original 4 of us are in for only $2,500 a guy!! You can't get a mule deer hunt for that price. Anyway, this is my formal thanks to all the good people at the Wisconsin Chapter of the SCI for giving me and my best friends this chance! Bill
