Welcome

Welcome to the 2024 special edition of the Wild Game Dinner magazine! There’s always lots of exciting things happening in our area and we hope you enjoy this year’s edition.

The Wild Game Dinner is the primary fundraiser for the Kendall County Jr. Livestock Association. The money raised through this event is poured back into the county to support our kids through agriculture. When we say, “we do this for the kids”, we want you to know that we put your money to good use!

This year (2024), KCJLA has awarded 25 scholarships totaling $73,000. We also provided $66,500 in grants to the 4-H, including sending the Livestock Judging Team to Scotland for the international competition. We contributed $100,000 to our annual Kendall County Livestock Show and Sale, and Hill District Grandstand stock show and sale. We are very proud of our young people and it’s a pleasure to reward them for all their hard work.

I always love to brag about our cook teams! They are truly the best. Our teams are made up of family, friends, locals, and some from afar. The number one rule is…you must be able to cook and cook for a big group! This year, we are welcoming some new faces to the lineup, and we are excited to have them. Take a minute to meet these folks and thank them for the fine food. They love doing this and always appreciate a little shout out.

Don’t forget the cook team “Dress Your Mess” contest. Each page of raffle tickets has one ticket that says BEST DÉCOR – COOK TEAM. It’s your job to choose the winner! That means you’ll need to buy lots of raffle tickets to support your favorite team!

Join us on Saturday, October 19th, at the Kendall County Youth Ag & Equestrian Center located at 648 FM 289 in Comfort. Gates open at 4:00 pm and we will begin serving at 5:00 pm. We look forward to seeing you there!

Many Thanks,

GOOD TIMES & GREAT FOOD AT THE WILD GAME DINNER

Once again the cook teams of the Kendall County Wild Game Dinner will be serving up the best wild game creations around. Folks from near and far look forward to the WGD each year, coming for the fun times and consistently GREAT food! With over twenty cook teams serving up everything from fried alligator to bacon wrapped quail and axis cooked up just about every way you can think of, this event offers attendees a true wild game feast! “Our cook teams are made up of a host of friends and family that devote their time and energy year after year to prep, prepare and cook all of the fabulous food that this Wild Game Dinner is known for. They are truly the backbone of this event,” said Beca Short, Chair of the Kendall County Wild Game Dinner. The majority of the cook teams are not professionals, just friends of the Kendall County Wild Game Dinner who are kind enough to volunteer and just so happen to know how to cook delicious food for a large crowd. Check out a couple of the teams that will be cooking for this year’s event!

PRIME CAPITAL AMIGOS

Who doesn’t love queso?! And the Prime Capital Amigos know how to do it right! The team takes it a step farther with their original recipe for this ooey-gooey, cheesy goodness. “We add in ground axis meat, chorizo, black beans and a host of other ingredients to make this queso extra special,” said Matt Nelson.

The Prime Capital Amigos team was created out of the local Prime Capital Investment Advisors office and includes family and friends who are willing to help out. “We all look forward to this event every year. It is a great time when we get to see lots of people in the community, fellowship with our co-workers and friends, and help to raise money for local kids,” said Rich Barkley.

Nelson added, “The agricultural industry and community is close to our hearts. We are so happy to get to be a part of this wonderful community event. We have so much fun as a team and we think we serve ups some pretty great queso while doing it!”

WE ARE THANKFUL FOR

Michelle Schuette

Michelle Schuette is one of our extraordinary volunteers! Her job consists of wrangling the cook teams and making sure everything food related is perfect. She spends months on recipes, orders and sourcing unique items.

Michelle also enlists the services of her entire family. Together they separate, divide and deliver each cook team’s items. We average 3,000 guests each year and we have 25 cook teams that each cook for 400 to 800 people. That’s a lot of groceries to divvy up and deliver!

When you see Michelle, be sure to pat her on the back and give her a “thank you”. She’s earned it and we greatly appreciate all the time and effort she puts in to make our event such a success!

GUADALUPE RED & THE CALF FRIES

This cook team brings their very own wagon! The team consists of Darren Markham, Barry Stuard, Robert Bass and a sampling of friends and family depending on the event. This year they will be serving up bacon-wrapped stuffed wild hog loins. According to Darren, “Our team has been cooking together for eight years. We have the whole wagon setup and use it for everything from educational events to church ministry and event private parties.

We enjoy being a part of the KC Wild Game Dinner. It’s a great cause and lots of fun. When it comes to our cooking we mostly do it just to have a good time, and there are definitely good times to be had a this event!”

GIVING BACK

THE BAG LADY

TERRI’S TOTES TURNS OLD FEED SACKS INTO MONEY FOR LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS

As the old saying goes, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” and Terri Steffensen’s creative idea to turn used feed sacks into colorful and fun tote bags is proof that saying rings true!

“Prior to Covid, I was making blankets for the Kendall County Women’s Shelter and the Sheriff’s Office. However, when everyone was stuck at home for all of those months cleaning out their closets, those organizations began to get lots of blankets and no longer needed as many.” Terri still wanted to use her time to be able to give back to the community so she began to think of other ideas.

“I actually found the idea for the feed sack totes on Pinterest and thought it was a great idea. Not only could we recycle these bags that are usually just thrown in the trash, I could sell them and donate the money to local organizations,” said Terri.

So Terri, along with her husband Norman, got to work and began creating an array of colorful and fun reusable totes.

According to Terri, they pick up the bags from local donation spots that include Tractor Supply, Faith & Funky Junk, and the local Agriculture Extension office. Once they get home, the bags must be washed, cut to size plus cut the material for the handle, cloroxed and then hung outside to dry. The tops and handles are folded and sewn once dry. Each bag takes about 1.5 hours total for completion.

14

WILD GAME DINNER | 2024

All of the profits of Terri’s Totes go straight to help local organizations. “We only keep the money to pay the sales tax and any credit card processing fees,” added Terri.

Terri is always looking for free spots to sell the bags. They are sometimes available on Main Street during a market and you can find them at the KC Women’s Shelter, Faith & Funky Junk, Fabulous Finds and The Center, as well as certain local fundraising events.

TERRI’S TOTES WILL BE AT THE WILD GAME DINNER!

Be sure to stop by and buy a couple to support our local youth!

WILDLIFE

C

Chronic Wasting Disease LEARN THE FACTS TO PROTECT TEXAS DEER

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), or Zombie Deer Disease, is a fatal neurological disease found in deer, elk, moose and other members of the cervid family. It is a slow and progressive disease that threatens both wild and captive deer. Here in Texas, CWD is a threat to white-tailed deer, as well as several exotic species that include red and sika, along with elk and mule deer. This disease can have devastating impacts if not managed. However, the problem with detecting CWD is that often, the visible signs of the disease don’t appear until right before the animal is close to death.

Often times, the indication that a herd may have CWD is found through surveillance testing instead of observation. This disease belongs to a family of neurological diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE). The brains of the infected animals eventually deteriorate to a spongy consistency, leading to a slow decline of the nervous system which causes the animals to stumble, drool and stare blankly close to the time of their death. Other symptoms include loss of appetite, abnormal head posture or drooping of ears, excessive thirst and urination, weight loss and teeth grinding.

The first case of CWD was found in 1967 in captive mule deer in Colorado. Since then, the disease has been documented (as of 2023) in both free range and captive deer in 30 states and Canada. In Texas, the first case of CWD was found in 2012 in a free-ranging mule deer in west Texas. Then later in a captive white-tailed deer in 2015. Since then, hundreds of cases have been confirmed, including two cases in an Edwards County deer breeding facility. Recently, Texas Parks and Wildlife received confirmation of one case of CWD in a Medina

County deer breeding facility, making this the fifth facility where CWD has been detected in the county.

For Texas, the economic impact of CWD could be significant to the state’s multi-billion-dollar hunting, ranching, wildlife management and real estate economies if not controlled. As such, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department urges all Texans to be alert and informed of the disease in an effort to slow the spread.

Landowners, deer breeders and hunters are of course the most valuable participants in this effort.

Ways to Help Stop the Spread: Report Sickly Deer: While symptoms typically are not noticeable until the end stages of the disease, it is still important to report deer who appear to be sick.

Hunters: Submitting your harvest for testing helps biologists to understand and manage the spread of CWD. Testing is mandatory in CWD zones, but voluntary and highly encouraged in other areas.

LEARNING FIRE MANAGEMENT AND HOW TO COOK CHAMPIONSHIP BBQ IS SOMETHING STUDENTS AT COMFORT HIGH SCHOOL ARE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT

It all began about eight years ago when Comfort High School Ag Teacher, Mr. Ron Krobot, introduced his students to the world of barbeque competitions. Krobot and a couple of Burnet High School Agriscience Teachers, Brandon Evans and Joe Vann, and one Burnet High School Culinary Arts teacher, Mike Erickson had worked to host the first BBQ Cooking competition for High School students at Burnet High School. That year, Comfort HS entered one team and won top Grand Champion Pit for a barbecue pit that the students had made in their welding classes.

That first year, there were only a couple dozen teams competing. However after that, the event has grown so much that Regional Qualifying Events now have to be held. Comfort has hosted the South Texas Regional for several years. Because of the location and facilities, the Comfort Regional has been one of the highest entered regional contests in the state. In order for teams to qualify to be able to compete at the State BBQ Championship each year, they must first qualify at a Regional Competition, placing in one of the top five teams at that event.

During the 2023-24 school year, the Comfort Grillmasters and Smokin’ Bobcats BBQ Cooking Teams competed at four Cook Offs. Setup begins promptly at 4:30pm on Friday. Then early Saturday morning, on the day of the event, students use their own light sources—camping lanterns, headlamps, flashlights, headlights of strategically parked trucks—in order to see their cooking stations. With the Donation from the Kendall County Wild Game Dinner Association, Comfort HS was able to build a BBQ Pit Trailer. This trailer is an eighteen foot flatbed trailer which was covered, sides added, metal flooring installed and pits installed. At the Regional Competitions this year, the covered cooking and preparation area truly came in handy as it rained during every one of the events.

Students cook desserts, beans, chicken, ribs and briskets during the Regional Events. Each of the Teams have designated captains who have several cooking competitions under their belt and know fire management, how to prepare the various meats prior to cooking and how to present their entries for judging. These students have earned the right to be a team captain. Each team member has various responsibilities and all are to work together to create that perfect meat, dessert and bean entries.

According to the state contest rules, teams of up to five students prepare dessert, beans, chicken, pork ribs, and the king of Texas barbecue—beef brisket. Each category requires different cooking skills: dessert calls for an understanding of the chemistry of baking, beans need a knowledge of flavor and seasoning, and brisket asks for fire-management skills and a hefty dose of patience. The judges—local city council members, county commissioners, police officers, and and others

WILD GAME DINNER | 2024

Students like coming to class each day, and especially on days when they are cooking some BBQ. They get to taste and evaluate their own cooking assignments!

Comfort BBQ Teams are always looking to win that prized BBQ Contest.

who reached out to volunteer when they heard a whole lot of barbecue was to be eaten and judged, rate each plate on appearance, smell, and taste. Winners are awarded prizes in each of the five food categories, but the coveted prize is the overall State High School BBQ Grand Champion, which also comes with scholarship money for students to continue their food educations.

Team coaches and mentors are not allowed to enter the cooking station. They must stand behind a perimeter of caution tape and offer guidance from the sidelines, so the adults set up foldable camping chairs and settle in for a long day. Occasionally, students carry plastic spoons overloaded with beans or sauce to the sidelines for a taste or to get a second opinion on spice levels.

Mr. Krobot rarely sits down. He circles around the team cooking sites, keeping an eye on the clock, tabulating the changing weather conditions, and reminding the students to check the meat.

When the breeze picks up, he walks around to each team instructing them to “check your fire pits; make sure they’re not getting too hot.”

Students turn in their food at a few scheduled times throughout the day, but while meat sits in the smokers, there are long moments of downtime. The Comfort team members kill time by scrolling through social media while sitting in camping chairs, or strolling through the competition grounds to find teens from other schools to flirt with.

The final plate, the brisket, is due at 3 p.m. Members of the Comfort squad carefully place seven perfectly sliced pieces of brisket into a styrofoam takeout box and wipe the sides clean with a towel before closing the lid. The box is then sent indoors to a judging table, where, judges rank the meat for aroma, appearance, and taste in private.

Krobot recalls that their first competition was a complete disaster. “When it came time to take the brisket off of the pit, all of the team Beca Short presenting a $5,000 donation from the KC Wild Game Dinner to the Comfort BBQ Team.

members were sleeping and brisket didn’t get taken off in time and was overdone! Also, the team members cooked the way they would in a backyard setting,” he explained, “but cooking for a competition means the pitmasters have to pay close attention to timing, appearance and plating.”

The barbecue competitions provide high school students with another type of after-school activity. “Not all these kids are going to be athletes,” says Krobot. “I tell them they can carry this on to use for the rest of their lives. It is something they will always be able to share with their friends and families. Many of our cooking team members tell me that they’ve already taught their dads how to cook a brisket. Some of the students come to me with ‘Grandpa’s recipe for cooking the Brisket’ or ‘Grandma’s Bean Recipe’. I learn a lot as well.

Working with kids doing something they like to do is so rewarding.” At the end of this school year, Krobot will retire from Comfort High School and this is one event that he’ll definitely miss.

Last year, there were 92 teams competing in the State High School BBQ Championship. Cooking without Senior Pitmaster Will Marquardt, and some team members having to step up, prepare and cook an item that they weren’t familiar with, Comfort struggled by placing 34th Overall and had a 11th place Ribs, 18th place Beans, 29th place Chicken, and 43rd Place Brisket.

With so many high school students learning the best ways to smoke meat, the future of Texas barbecue looks bright, especially in Comfort, Texas!

THE HEALING POWER OF THE OUTDOORS

E

by Connie McFall Clark

“Every day we try to further our mission to empower individuals to know the healing power of the outdoors.

It takes an army of people to make that happen and we plan to form that army!” – Weston Jenkins, Founder, Disabled Outdoorsmen USA The inspiration behind creating the local nonprofit organization Disabled Outdoorsmen USA was Jenkins’ cousin TJ who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis.

Growing up with TJ, Jenkins saw the difficulties he had just trying to get through a daily routine. Taking him on hunts and seeing how he enjoys being outdoors has been the catalyst for growing the organization’s mission.

“The mission is to empower individuals with disabilities to experience the joy of nature. Through our inclusive approach and unwavering support, we’re fostering a community where everyone is valued and celebrated for who they are. Whether you’re a seasoned outdoor enthusiast or new to adventure, you’ll find a welcoming home among us.”

WILD GAME DINNER | 2024

Disabled Outdoorsmen USA coordinates group hunts and fishing outings a couple of times a month for any person with a disability. The trips serve to get the participant back into the outdoors and take on activities they thought they would never do again. With the help of guides and volunteers with experience working with the disabled, the participants enjoy what they thought might be an impossible feat. Not only do the participants deal with their physical disability, the mental state is often at risk as well. The wonder of being outdoors and being active helps with their mindset. When they see others in the same condition as themselves it helps them make friends and encourages future communication … camaraderie at its best.

In September 2023, Disabled Outdoorsmen USA hosted a fishing tournament in North Carolina. One participant stated he never thought he’d get back on a fishing boat fighting a redfish after his accident. For safety purposes, he was strapped down in the bow of the boat which enabled him to enjoy the outing without fear of injury. At least two participants from each chapter of the organization, along with ten fishing guides in ten boats made the outdoor adventure a success.

For one-day or overnight hunting outings, they can host up to 35 people including some family members of the participants. Jenkins explains that making the outing a family affair helps build good memories that can help keep the participants motivated to continue to enjoy the outdoors. The organization will host individuals or small groups as well.

Participants learn about Disabled Outdoorsmen USA through the website or by referrals.

Strictly a grassroots effort from the start, Jenkins has a circle of supporters from his land and ranch real estate associates and clients, both in monetary donations as well as lending the property for hunts. When he was a sophomore at Texas State University, San Marcos, he sold insurance and every dollar he made went into Disabled Outdoorsmen USA. He worked with a nonprofit attorney to set up the organization. To date, the participants do not pay for any of the outings or travel expenses. An annual banquet in February brings in funds needed to support the organization. The banquets have attracted more attendees each year – from 200 the first year to over 650 this year, raising over $450,000 this year alone.

Disabled Outdoorsmen USA has expanded from Texas to other states: Utah, South Carolina, Minnesota and Alabama. After a hunt in Utah around the fire, the people helping out loved what Jenkins was doing and decided to start a chapter in that state. An outdoorsman in Minnesota heard about the organization and its mission and, not liking the direction the group he was associated with was going, he started a chapter as well. “A young man in Alabama was real hungry to start a chapter after seeing posts on social media so we offered him support to get started with a compensation program,” explained Jenkins. Jenkins offers the chapters benefits like use of the pro-bono CPA firm and the Weil Legal firm. He tells the story that he was on a plane with the partner from Weil Legal who immediately offered his services free-of-charge to the organization after learning about its mission and purpose.

Jenkins has a passion for the real estate industry. With Texas Land Men he connects people to farm and ranching, not just selling the property

but selling a lifestyle. “I lived the lifestyle so I can guide clients a little bit.” He was acknowledged as the 30 Under 30 top sales agent in the US and received this prestigious award in 2023. In 2023 he was also listed in the Top 5 sales agents in the San Antonio Business Journal. Jenkins comes by his experience and love of real estate naturally.

His grandfather started a real estate brokerage company in Beaumont in the late 1970s … Jenkins' love of the industry started there.

What’s next for Disabled Outdoorsmen USA? A big goal Jenkins is striving for is to purchase land and create a DOUSA Ranch. He envisions a handicap-accessible ranch for people in Texas with all types of disabilities.

The idea would be to have camps throughout the year, continued on page 30

In November 2022, our son Pierce had the privilege of hunting this beautiful multi-colored ram at G2 Ranch in Pearsall, Texas, courtesy of DOUSA. This picture reminds us of the amazing opportunity he was given and why DOUSA is such an incredible organization. It also represents a very special memory from the last hunt Pierce would take and what a great experience it was for him. He bragged excessively about every detail of the ranch, its accessibility, the food, and even the chef! Because it was Pierce’s plan for us to return to the ranch as a family, we will do that this Fall honoring his memory and how DOUSA made possible for him, the trip of a lifetime. Pierce was a well-loved, kind, and courageous young man. While we wish the reason for this honor didn’t exist, we are very humbled to see him featured on this year’s WGD cover.

– Kera & David Dutton

continued from page 29 offering hunts, fishing, skeet shooting, and a free range for participants to gain a purpose with working on the ranch or just enjoying the outdoors. He has contacted Governor Abbott about setting up a state-wide benefits plan to assist the disabled while working on the ranch.

Until that time, Jenkins will continue to promote this outstanding nonprofit and work with clients to host hunts on their sites. His license plate, DOUSA, generates a lot of questions and interest in the program. For more information, go to the website at www.disabledoutdoorsmen.com.

A FEW OF OUR FAVORITES If you remember Pearl and Falstaff at the ice house and ranch trucks with a rifle or two hanging in the back window, a lever action 30-30 rifle probably has a place in your heart. This was the rifle of choice for eliminating foot stomping, nose snorting deer from your blind. Back window gun racks aren’t the safest bet anymore and we can’t get you a six pack of Falstaff but, we can offer you the 30-30. This year Apache sent us a Henry Color Case Hardened Lever Action chambered in 30-30.

Think classic 30-30 with fancy clothes on. We paired it up with a Leupold optic, so it is good to go. If you don’t have a past with a 30-30 lever action, now is the time to bring one in your future.

We looked around and realized the girls just were not getting the attention they deserve.

Sure a vacation to Nashville is a blast or maybe, a bunch of wine, great party. Being pretty and smelling sweet doesn’t keep you from needing a great rifle and the chicks in our crowd hunt. Apache helped us find that girl power special, the Savage Model 11/111 Lady Hunter. Classy looks and female specific geometry will keep ole boy’s fingers off of it. 7MM-08 seemed like the caliber of choice with great take down power and really light recoil. We added a Vortex optic so it is ready to go for hunting season. Ladies, this one is for you so, dig deep in that purse or steal your old man’s wallet and bid like a wild woman.

We have the tool you need to be the main character this season and every season after.

There are ranch guns and then there is the CMMG Dissent Br4. This is the new era of ranch gun. A semi auto carbine chambered in 6MM ARC (Advanced Rifle Cartridge) with a Magpul SGA stock. It looks gnarly because it is. The 6mm ARC is a cartridge that out shoots .223, in a considerably lighter platform than that of a .308. and it has ridiculously light recoil. The Dissent Br4 is just a beast of a pasture gun. A hard hitting , accurate rifle packaged in a small easy to shoot, easy to transport platform. Did we mention CMMG is out of Boonville, Missouri? At the heart of CMMG's legacy is a deep commitment to faith and American values. A great gun, from great people. This was a must have for our list and for good reason.

Pistol junkies, rejoice. We brought in a SIG P365 AXG Legion in 9MM with a Romeo X pistol red dot. Unlike your standard P365 this Sig Sauer master piece features a stainless steel frame, barrel and, slide. Other notable upgrades include custom G10 grip panels for incredible feel, a mag well for quick reloads, a two port expansion chamber to mitigate recoil and help it shoot flat. The Legion Grey Cerakote sets it apart and with three 17 round magazines, you can be a range day stud. Shoots awesome , feels awesome and winning this in the auction helps us support awesome kids with awesome projects.

The Charles Daly Triple Crown 12ga. shotgun is really something different for the Wild Game Dinner. It is a triple barrel over under shotgun, giving new meaning to “plus one”. From the side it looks like a nice over under but, from the business end it is a stack of three barrels. All three barrels can run Rem Chokes, MC-5 (C, IC, M, IM, F), making it really versatile for all types of game bird hunting. The trigger mechanism is what sets it apart and really makes it neat. It fires in a right, left, top barrel pattern as fast as you can pull the trigger. If you hunt in an area that outlaws semi auto shotguns, if you are limited to three rounds, this is the shotgun. Fiber optic sights and it breaks down for travel. Classic over under looks with a modern twist.

The Tisas Nightstalker SF is a full-size 1911 pistol with an integrated picatinny rail that comes from the factory with a long list of features that include a skeletonized hammer, SF trigger and ambidextrous safety, extended beavertail grip safety, aluminum grips and rear slide cocking serrations. Built on our forged frame and slide for durability with our cold hammer forged barrels for accuracy and red dot optic, the Nightstalker 1911 is ready for whatever comes at you.

Last year we brought night vision to the table and that drew some attention. This year we brought the night vision back but, we didn’t stop there. AGM Global vision has the Rattler V2 25-256 Thermal Riflescope and it seemed like the next step in progression. With a 3.5-28 magnification range and detection out to 1250 yards this thing can not only see the heat but can bring it as well. Four digital zoom modes 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x helps make small things in a little easier to see. It is IP 67 rated just in case it ever rains again. Video and audio recording capabilities that can be shot activated and surprise, surprise it connects to AGM app for even more techno wizardry. Now you can be the redneck boogey man, hogs and varmints, be scared.

What happens when the Marlboro Man builds his own weapon for Call of Duty? Apache Rifleworks Custom Shop can not only tell you, they can show you. They built us that exact lever gun. They start off with a Rossi lever action cambered in 30-30 WIN. Then they turn up the heat with a skeletonized stock with cheek riser and a M-LOK stock with full picatinny rail. A little laser engraving to let the homies know where you got it. Then they make the whole thing run as smooth as butter. This particular unit will also come equipped with a Vortex LPVO on it so you can bring the less desirables a little closer into view. This whole package is a magic wand for turning pig’s heads into canoes. The definition of non-nerd gun. Apache Rifleworks Custom Shop is particularly proud to build this and we are just as proud to make it available in our auction.

All right, Rip Wheeler disciples, get out your beat up Resistol and your RayBan Caravans.

We have a goodie here. The Smith and Wesson Model 1854 .44 Magnum. Rip didn’t have something this stout but, he wishes he did. The black on stainless looks really set is apart in the lever gun crowd. The 44 magnum cartridge is just a knock down drag out round meant for stopping things in their tracks. By no means is this a long range gun and it isn’t meant to be.

Whatever you hit with this thing will know it. Even John Wayne would have loved to have this thing for fighting Comancheros. This rifle really is cool and we had to make it available in the raffle buckets. One ticket will win it but, a fistful will better your odds. Come on down and see it, help us make ag kids smile.

When the boys at Apache Rifleworks brought out the Horizon Firearms Vandal, we had to have it, our crowd deserves it. Horizon Firearms is the driving force behind the 22 Creedmoor round. If you didn’t know, 22 Creedmoor is the gnarliest predator cartridge around. The Vandal is every bit as unique as the round it fires. From the Carbon fiber iota EKO stock to the insane Pins and Needles fluting on the barrel finished in KG Coatings NaNo Series Gun Kote, this gun is something. If you know the Stiller name you know why the action on this gun is so good.

Horizon equips them with Trigger Tech triggers for a clean crisp pull. The write up on the rifle could go on for a hot minute. This is a top tier, purpose built hunting rifle chambered in the preeminent 22 caliber round. Absolutely amazing, we only have one so come and get it.

The Wild Game Dinner has never been afraid to double down on things. This year we did just that with not one but, two suppressors from Dead Air Silencers. You have some dirty little corn thieves you need gone and don’t want to let the entire pasture know about it? Drop a ticket or two into the Dead Air Mask bucket. A great 22 cal can that can run 22LR 22MAG 17HMR 17WSM and 5.7×28. If it’s small and needs to discretely sent to it’s maker, here ya go. Maybe you have bigger problems that need a quiet exit. That is where the Nomad 30 steps in. From .223 all the way up to .300 Norma Mag, the Nomad is your huckleberry. Critters big and small will never hear what hit them. The Nomad raffle bucket is calling your name. Two different chances to win cool kid stuff from WGD. What better way to take wild game from wild places, than the Bergara B-14 Squared Crest. This rifle is to back country hunting what a scalpel is to a surgeon. Chambered in 7MM PRC this gun has the beans to back up it’s looks. 7MM PRC is such a versatile round and can handle all kinds of big game at distance. With big country hunting comes, big guns and that means weight. Bergara equips this rifle with a monocoque carbon fiber stock and a 4140 chrome-moly fluted barrel to keep this thing ultra lightweight and accurate. The muscle that makes this gun is just half of the combo. Grayscale camo print over the carbon stock matched with Sniper Grey Cerakote on the barrel and receiver make it a handsome devil as well. Doesn’t matter if you are going peak to peak after monster elk or chasing elusive pronghorn from 700 yards out, the Bregara B-14 Crest is the tool you need.
