We have many hunts, fishing trips and adventures that will be on the auctions at the SCI Wisconsin Chapter’s 2010 Banquet and Fundraiser.  As you read through the trips, please remember that the list is still in flux.  We are still working with some outfitters.  Some trips will be added.  Some will be deleted and many will be modified.  Some will change places in the auctions as well.  Click on the Hunts tab.

I have tried to bring a wide variety of trips to this event.  The attendance and class of the SCI Banquet are the biggest reasons we are able to solicit the excellent trips you see here.  I hope that you appreciate the generosity of these outfitters and the efforts of the SCI Wisconsin officers, board members and volunteers that put in THOUSANDS of hours to bring this event to you.

 Now for business.  These outfitters are good!  They have been researched.  References have been checked.  I believe you can count on every outfitter and agent that is represented in this list.

 Could there be issues?  Of course!  No one can forecast weather, game numbers or movement,  personalities of your outfitter or guide, changes in travel, Government rules and seasons etc.

The 3 live auctions have different content.  FRIDAY NIGHT is mostly North American with some excellent foreign trips thrown in for flavor.  Saturday Day is mostly local and North American or trips with excellent value.  SATURDAY NIGHT IS A SHOWCASE of first class hunts and destinations.  Finally the SILENT HUNT AUCTION and the SILENT TAXIDERMY AUCTION bring excellent trips and services that rival offerings anywhere!

 Are we missing some hunts or trips that you would like?  Are you an outfitter that wants to promote yourself in front of 1,400 to 1,800 people?  Is there an outfitter you like that isn’t here?  Is there a destination you would like to see that we haven’t got?  Is there a special trophy you are after that isn’t available here?  If so, LET ME KNOW!  Sometimes I can’t get outfitters to see the value of coming here and I am a lousy mind reader so I need your input.  Call me at (414) 416-4839 or email me at jfkubichek@yahoo.com and I will work with you.

Are there questions on these trips?  Email me.  I’ll do my best to tell you what I know.  Call or email the outfitters.  They would like to hear from you, too.

 Finally, if you see these outfitters, THANK THEM!  BOOK WITH THEM.  Like I said, THEY ARE GOOD!

 I hope to see full tables and packed auction rooms on March 12^th and 13^th.

 Thanks for your past and future support.
