The buffet offered a variety of deliciously cooked and prepared game meats that hunters donated for this special evening. Among my personal favourites where the elk steaks, bison roast, smoked salmon, bear meatloaf and cougar steaks. My wife tried and liked the deer mule deer steaks, beaver ragout, fresh water shrimp and broiled salmon. For those with a sweet tooth, like myself, there were plenty of home made cakes, pastry and cookies to try out. It was a meal fit for a King. 



Many hunters seemed to have had a good hunting season judging by the many respectable whitetail deer, mule deer and elk antlers that made the book. On the table a display of the awards to be given out to members for best animal taken in a variety of categories, such as best deer harvested by a man, a women and youth. There where also awards for environmental and stewardship achievements. Other awards were given for big bore rifle-, small bore rifle- and blackpowder shooting competition winners.

For me the personal surprise of the evening was when I unexpectedly had been called on stage to receive a special certificate of appreciation for environmental work. 



This young lady has good reason to smile. One because she harvested a huge whitetail deer buck. Two she got not only one award for it but two. In the background club president Paul Komonoski and handing over the award is the clubs 1st Vice President, Ed Collins.



Many prizes could be won on a special raffle for the kids. On the Nicola Valley Fish & Game Club Game Dinner and Trophy Award Night everybody is a winner.
