The travel voucher is $1500 CAD and is intended to get the hunter from their residence up to Whitehorse, YK. It can be used for any method of travel, so if the hunter chooses they can drive up to Whitehorse in their own vehicle and experience the beautiful Alaska Highway or they can use it for airfare.
The members of the North Peace Rod and Gun Club have a long history of supporting landscape level projects to enhance wildlife health and abundance through financial contributions and countless volunteer hours. Some examples include supporting a major predator control program in the northern Rocky Mountains in the 1980’s, prescribed fires for wildlife habitat in the Peace Moberly Track and the Tuchodi River Valley, an elk transplant on the Dunlevy Inlet of Williston Lake, and promoting sampling for chronic wasting disease.
The shoulder mount from Inuksuk Wildlife Studios was donated 100% by owner Myles Hanson, located in Fort St. John, BC. A prime example of Myles work can be seen at the North Peace Airport in the form of a full mount stone sheep.
“As a company rooted in the 7B region of BC, Inuksuk Wildlife Studio is more then happy to support this raffle, seeing conservation in our region being taken seriously” – Myles Hansen, owner.
Second prize is a Swarovski STS-65 HD Spotting Scope, partially donated by Backcountry in Fort St. John. Value of this prize is $3000 CAD.
“Backcountry is happy to partner with the NPR&G Club in this fundraising effort. As residents of this region and members of the hunting and fishing fraternity we should all take a good look at what is happening around us and try to take an active roll in maintaining or better yet, improving our wildlife populations and our future hunting and fishing opportunities. This raffle is a great start!” – Steve Hewitt, Co-Owner
