A Western backcountry elk hunt complete with wall tents and mountain savvy mules is the ultimate North American hunting adventure and the dream of many big game hunters.
The Union Sportsmen’s Alliance (USA) and the International Union of Elevator Constructors have joined forces to give AFL-CIO affiliated Union members the opportunity to win a Nevada trophy elk hunt while raising funds for the USA’s new Boots on the Ground (BOTG) conservation program.
The lucky Union winner will join noted guide an outfitter Shad Leeder of Leeder Hunting for a 7-day, pack train hunt in Nevada’s Schell Creek and Snake Range areas, where bulls typically score 330-350 and can exceed 400 Boone & Crockett points. In addition to the guided hunt, the $18,000 prize package includes a highly coveted landowner elk permit, licenses, roundtrip airfare to Las Vegas, ground transportation, meals and lodging.
No purchase is necessary for entry in the sweepstakes, but donations will be accepted to help build Boots on the Ground. BOTG is creating a community of skilled Union volunteers to tackle projects across North America that create and expand hunting and fishing access and wildlife habitat – something we can all take pride in.
When you make a donation, you’ll be investing in a treasured outdoor legacy, and we’ll thank you for helping get BOTG on its feet with multiple entries in the trophy elk hunt sweepstakes. We are suggesting donations of $100 for 45 entries, $50 for 20 entries, $25 for 8 entries and $10 for 3 entries.
The Nevada trophy elk hunt sweepstakes runs from May 1 through Sept. 23, and the winner will be drawn on Sept. 28, 2011. The hunt will take place from November 12-18, 2011.
