Ever wonder why the pheasants don’t even bother to fly away when they see you pull out your shotgun? Maybe you could use a few lessons or just an opportunity to brush up on your skills. Well, here’s your chance. Boehringer Ingelheim has donated a full day of shooting instruction with shotgun champion Will Fennell, Jr. (http://www.willfennell.com). Along with this day of instruction, the successful bidder will receive a Beretta 391 Urika Sporting Shotgun (including a custom gun fitting session, an airline-approved gun case, and all ammunition for the school), shooting glasses from Hi-Def Specs, a Beretta shooting vest and range bag, and all transportation, lodging, and related expenses. This event can be shared with up to 4 additional shooters for an additional $250 per day plus transportation. After a day in this class, hunting pheasants will be like shooting fish in a barrel!
Speaking of fish in a barrel, how about a little walleye fishing from a 68 foot houseboat on one of the finest walleye lakes in the world? Thanks to Dr. Darrell Neuberger, this could be yours along with 3 of your best friends in Lac Seul, Ontario, Canada. The trip includes all expenses from Clear Lake, Iowa to Lac Seul and back (unless you out-fish Dr. Neuberger in which case you’ll have to find your own way back). Leave on August 2, fish for 3 days and return on August 7.
