PRESIDENT’S GREETING
Dear Past Shooters,
The hunt was cancelled last year due to COVID-19. The 2021 One Shot Antelope Hunt will
take place regardless this year, as Water for Wildlife Foundation needs all of our support.
There will be some changes coming to this year’s Hunt. 2021’s Hunt will be altered in a
couple different ways. First of all, Sportswomen will be welcome to participate. Second, we are
currently working with the Tribal Leaders to alter the victory banquet format to be more in line
with today’s era.
We are confirming the existing Teams that were selected to participate in the 2020 Hunt.
We look forward to a great successful new year!
Thanks,
Darin Hubble
One Shot Antelope Hunt Club President
