�DRIVE TO 35!

The purpose of the California Chapter of the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep, an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, is as follows:

a) To promote and enhance increasing populations of indigenous wild sheep on the North American continent and especially in California;

b) To inform and educate the people of California, Canada, Mexico and the United States concerning North American wild sheep (particularly California), their habitat, health, population densities, relocation, and general welfare;

c) To promote the professional management of North American wild sheep in order to augment the number and size of game herds, such professional management to include the use of regulated hunting as a legitimate tool of conservation and game management, to achieve optimum populations of indigenous species wherever possible throughout North America, and to safeguard against the decline or extinction of any of such indigenous species;

d) To protect, defend and preserve the lawful right and privilege of recreational hunting through education of mainstream America as to the conservation benefits of lawful hunting, and to vigorously respond in a positive manner to those anti-hunting individuals and groups who strive, either legally or unlawfully, to prohibit this legitimate recreation, recognizing that well-regulated hunting with limited bag limits, controlled shooting hours and hunting seasons, in a management environment, is a viable, effective and practical tool of wise and efficient wildlife management that will assure a rational use of the earth’s renewable resources and control the sustainable use of such resources by limiting overgrowth of dense game populations of abundant species.

e) To encourage all men and women hunters to be responsible conservationists who harvest animals humanely and utilize their meat without waste, while hunting under conditions of fair chase and good sportsmanship.

f ) To participate and associate with other clubs, associations and organizations throughout the world which share goals, beliefs, and purposes common with those of this organization.

g) To engage in such other activities as may be appropriate in conjunction with the foregoing.

CA FNAWS PROJECTS UPDATE

Calendar year 2007 proved to be yet another solid year for California FNAWS. Not only did we again fund many important projects, financially we ended the year in a very solid position.

To kick things off, we funded a high-altitude helicopter capture/collar project for the important Sierra Bighorn herd. This herd is doing very well and, while there remain some possible threats to their continued success, all in all, this herd is on the road to recovery. Indeed, it is possible that at some point in the future, we will have a huntable population of these wild mountain sheep.

Next, as you all know, early last year the Department of Fish and Game recommended a record nineteen tags for the public draw. This recommendation was approved by the Fish and Game Commission, meaning that more sheep hunters than ever before were able to pursue desert bighorn sheep in California. As you probably also know, five of the rams harvested were Boone and Crockett caliber rams, with the largest scoring a whopping 180 1/8.”

In late April, we co-sponsored a critically important Respiratory Disease Workshop. Partnering with the Wild Sheep Foundation (formerly FNAWS) and UC Davis, thirty-two experts came from all over the world to share their knowledge and discuss ideas relative to the deadly disease problem that domestic sheep cause for wild sheep. While there was still some minor resistance from the representatives of the woolgrowers associations, it was unanimously agreed that domestic sheep and wild sheep must be kept separate. Two more workshops have since followed with continuing encouraging success.

In early May, we again sponsored a Sheep Summit, this time in Sacramento the day before our banquet. Represented were CA FNAWS, DFG, the Society for the Conservation of Bighorn Sheep, as well as the Mojave National Preserve. A common vision was agreed upon: to ensure the persistence and restoration of healthy and sustainable meta-populations of desert bighorn sheep throughout their historical range in California. Sheep Summit III, again held the day before this fundraiser, zeroed in on a detailed analysis of what we have in the way of populations, water sources, and habitat, then developed specific strategies and prioritized areas for surveys, possible translocations, and further water development.

Finally, the fall surveys of California’s wild sheep were for the most part very encouraging and in at least one area, almost shocking in its success. The survey of the Cady Mountains produced numbers that were more than double what local DFG biologists had hoped to find. CA FNAWS will repeat this survey this coming fall, flying all of the sheep habitat in the unit instead of just the ~60% that was flown last fall. If that survey produces results similar to last fall’s survey, we expect to see the Cadys opened as a hunt zone in 2009, with multiple tags available!

All in all, 2007 was a great year for California’s wild mountain sheep. You should be proud of the support you’ve given to CA FNAWS that has helped make this possible. Your continued support will allow us to keep on the track we’ve been on since our founding in 2001. Our “DRIVE TO 35” campaign, once just a pipe dream, now seems very possible. With your support, we will get it done!

Auction PoliciesNOTE: Unless otherwise specified (as with the Sheep Hunt Raffles), the holder of a winning raffle ticket must be present to win.

GENERAL RAFFLEGeneral Raffle tickets will be available until the Live Auction begins. Our raffle ticket ladies will be roaming the floor for your convenience.

To enter and gain a chance to win any of the many General Raffle items, simply deposit your general raffle tickets in the General Raffle barrel associated with that item. Retain your numbered stub for verification. You may, if you wish, write your name on the back of the ticket(s) to free yourself of monitoring the printed identification numbers. In the event that insufficient raffle tickets are deposited to cover the cost of a specific raffle item, the raffle winner will get 50% of the ticket value in the bucket as cash. Cost of each item will be noted on the raffle bucket.

BONUS RAFFLESThe Bonus Raffles pertain to the bonus tickets that you receive when you purchase a $250 or $500 General Raffle Ticket Package. There is a separate Raffle Drum for each of the $250 and $500 Bonus Raffle Drawings. There is an extra high quality rifle for each of these raffles. These bonus raffle tickets only come with the general raffle ticket packages of $250 and $500.

SPECIAL RAFFLESSheep Raffles (need not be present to win) – there is a separate raffle drum for each of the sheep raffles. Tickets are sold individually for $25 or in packages of $100 to $1000.

SILENT AUCTIONTo place a bid in the Silent Auction you need to legibly write your name and the amount of your bid on the bid sheet. Please note the minimum bid increment (on the bid sheet). There is no maximum bid increment! An announcement will be made prior to the closing of these auctions. See the schedule for closing time. Once the Silent Auction has been declared closed, the bid sheets will be collected and compiled. The last bidder on the bid sheet with the highest bid will be the winner of the item. The winners names printed and two copies delivered to each table. To collect the item(s) you have won, go to the cashier’s table and make the required payment. You will be given a paid receipt, which you can take to the appropriate Silent Auction section to receive the item or items you won.

�DRIVE TO 35!

LIVE AUCTIONBidder numbers are not required. There will be auction spotters on the floor during the LiveAuction to assist the auctioneer in identifying bidders. It is the bidder’s responsibility to make his/her intentions be known. If you are the successful bidder, a runner will come to your location and ask that you fill out a simple form. Please be complete: include your phone number and a legible name and sign the document when finished. You will receive a copy of that auction form. To collect the item, visit the cashier’s booth and pay for the item. The cashier will mark the receipt “paid” and hand it to a runner who will retrieve the item(s) you will then own. Please Note: there is no upper limit on the amount of money you may bid on an item! We’re here tonight to help in the “DRIVE TO 35!” LET’S GET IT DONE!

HUNTS AND TRIPSWe have made every effort to ensure the quality of all donated hunts and trips. However, we cannot guaranteethe satisfaction of either the donor or the buyer. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to contact the donor as soon aspossible to make all arrangements necessary to complete the requirements of both parties. On some guided huntsor fishing trips there may be licensing and permit application deadlines. It is the buyer’s responsibility to makeaccurate and timely applications.

FIREARMSIf you win or purchase a firearm, you must fill out a Firearms Transaction form prior to claiming the firearm. Due to the state and federal laws, the purchasers/winners of firearms must fill out the required documentation at the banquet or at Badger Johns Store, 5400 Date Ave., Sacramento, CA 95841, 916-489-1022. Actual possession cannot be completed on the spot. You will receive instructions on how and where to pick up your firearm. Any charges incurred during the transaction are the sole responsibility of the purchaser/winner. Out-of-town purchas-ers/winners may arrange to have firearms sent to a local dealer by contacting the attending banquet FFL dealer (Badger John's). If you have any questions, ask a CA FNAWS volunteer for assistance. Firearms must be picked up within 30-days of the banquet date or they will become the property of CA FNAWS.

Have a great time at the fundraiser and remember your generosity will

make a direct impact on the SHEEP! Monies raised will go “on the ground” to benefit wild sheep, and the other wildlife whose habitat they share! We are humbly grateful for your support. Your generosity will make a direct and positive difference for Wild Sheep.

Thank you!

LA-19 BOWTECh 101ST AIRBORNE AND ACCESSORIESYou could say the 101st Airborne Division possesses some might: like three ground brigades, division artillery, several separate commands, two aviation brigades, a corps support group, and three battalions of the Apache attack helicopters - all capable of inserting a combined arms task force deep into enemy terrain in a single lift. So you can appreciate the power of a bow by the same name.

Yet, given its awesome affinity for raw strength, the generous brace height of the 101st Airborne bow is amazingly forgiving and shootable, while still providing fantastic speed and performance.

Dedicated to the 101st Airborne "Screaming Eagles," this bow is for sportsmen who want speeds that approach the sound barrier.DonateD by: boWtech archery anD G5 outDoors
