The 20th annual Carson Valley Chukar Club fund raiser was held last Saturday evening at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.
According to Ron Pierini of the Chukar Club, that function attracted a jammed-packed, full house (the largest crowd ever) and raised a total of more than $65,000.
The top auction prize of the evening was a 5-day bird hunt in Argentina for one hunter that was won with a bid of $2,550.
Other winning bids included: A Remington Youth Sportsman Auto-Loading 20 gauge shotgun for $825, a six-person fishing trip with sportfishing guide Mickey Daniels at Lake Tahoe for $850 , a round of golf for four persons at the Edgewood Golf Course for $700 and a 10-week-old German Shorthair pup for $600.
Those monies will be used for a number of worthwhile projects in Nevada, such as the construction of man-made water collection devices known as "guzzlers," which are used by small animals and birds, support of the Nevada Hunter Education Program, significant contributions to the Nevada anti-poaching program known as Operation Game Thief and the annual Kids' Fishing Derby in Douglas County.
