Well New Year’s Eve will never be the same. Many people have been reading about the Terveen Benefit Hunt that was being planned for New Year’s Eve, and let me tell you, the people of the Dupree Community as well as the Weather, blew me away. It all started on Friday night the 30th with a $5 supper and the beginning of the Silent Auction, people kept coming, and they all had stuff for the Silent Auction. I would guess over 200 people in all showed up the first night.

The hunters checked in and there were 15 teams with 3 hunters on each team. This was a video hunt and the plan was for the hunters to hunt all day Saturday and bring in their videos for people to view on Saturday Night, then we would award the hunters as well as the winners of the Silent Auction items.

Results for the hunt went like this: Scroll Down \/

1st Place: Cody Eaton, Austin & Amanda Stambach, they were overall winners, had the Big Dog at just over 38 pounds, the 2nd Place Little Dog at just over 21 pounds. They took home $600 for their efforts.

2nd Place: Rocky Longbrake, Tony & Terry Russell, 2nd Place overall, 2nd Big Dog just over 31 pounds Total winnings $320

3rd Place: Courtney Good, Murdock Halligan and Mike Fillaus took 3rd place overall and $180

Little Dog: Jayde Starr, Shane Farlee & Cody Rahder won Little Dog with a coyote weighing 15 pounds $100

Clay Farlee stated that over $9500 was brought in by the silent auction and the two nights of suppers. The Coyote Hunt brought in $750 for the cause, many of the hunters gave all or some of their winnings back for a total of $1050. Putting the total proceeds by this event over $10,500. An amazing amount for a community this small.

Thank you to all that helped to make it a success, what an amazing world we live in.
