We are doing some work out in West Texas trying to establish elk back in the state. We have over a 1,000 head in the state of Texas that are free ranging.
This will be our sixth banquet. The first banquet we maybe had 65 people. Last year we had about 350. Our goal this year is 400 at least.
We have membership in all of the surrounding counties. Our participation is growing.
We try our best to involve the kids.
Right now they are classified as an exotic.
The biggest thing for me is preserving the habitat. An estimated 2,500 acres a day (nationwide) is lost to malls and subdivision. We are trying to preserve some place for the wild animals to call home.
No money is changing hands. You play in hopes of winning prizes.
