WSAA Big Game Awards

 

    The 1999 Big Game Awards were presented at the WSAA Convention Banquet Saturday, October 28th. Those who were first time applicants received the “stump award” – a yew-wood stump mounted on a black bell-shaped base, plus a specially prepared broadhead-tipped arrow for the claimed species. Members applying for subsequent awards received an additional broadhead to add to their stump. Those who attended the banquet posed for the accompanying photograph.

    Also at the Banquet we announced the Big Bull and Big Buck awards. The Big Bull award went to Kevin Krause for his 6x6 bull, which measured 260 7/8. There was no applicant for the Big Buck award.

    Full information about the WSAA Big Game Award Program and applications for the 2000 hunting season are included in this issue of the Quiver. For additional information contact the program chairman, Tom Burt.
