Barney Ford Auction

Last year my buddy Matt Grassman and I donated a duck hunt to raise money for the Barney Ford Diversity scholarship at Leeds. Grassman is my buddy that lives on Boulder Valley Farm, and as I have mentioned previously he, John(farm manager), and Mr. Culver(owner) have all been very gracious in letting other folks enjoy the property. This year their generosity continues and they let us auction off another hunt.

We were pretty excited about this years auction because we had a great hunt last year, and we thought that the news had probably spread around plus we had some new tricks up our sleave. First of all we decided to bring Dex down to the auction because we figured he would help drive up the bidding, and I also got my friend JC from http://www.risetogethercustomcalls.com/ to donate a custom call to go along with the hunt. Our tactics paid off and this year we raised $650 which is $250 more than last year. We were also really excited that our friends Scott Kohla and Trest Gustafson were the winning bidders again.

Below are some pictures from last years hunt and one from the auction.
