Probably the best gun out there for shooting large steel shot for long range geese and ducks. It’s also a great turkey gun. Ready for the field, this Browning Invector 10 ga. BPS has a classic look with a satin finished walnut stock, a matte blued 28-inch barrel with a ventilated rib. The receiver is also matte blued and looks good with the dark barrel. It is chambered for 3.5-inch, and has a top tang safety. Unique to the BPS is its bottom feed and ejection port. Shells are loaded and ejected from the bottom, leaving one less port for dirt and debris to enter the action. Likewise, a left-handed shooter won't end up ejecting empty hulls into their face. This gun is truly ambidextrous, and absolutely built to last. We thank John and Joan Pouleson for this 100% donation.

This is a 3 Night 2 Day pheasant hunt for 4 Hunters at the premier Cheyenne Ridge Signature Lodge, a Beretta Rated 2-Trident lodge. Not far from Pierre, South Dakota, among the cornfields and rolling hillsides, you’ll find North America’s largest population of Ring-necked Pheasant. The hunting at Signature Lodge is done in the traditional block and drive style and it’s not uncommon to put hundreds of birds in the air on a quarter mile drive. In the course of a day you can easily see a thousand birds. Overlooking Lake Oahe, the Lodge is recognized as one of South Dakota’s finest, with thousands of acres of prime pheasant hunting. No expense was spared to create a variety of habitat and diversity of cover, diversity that compels hunters to return year after year to this part of South Dakota. Gourmet cuisine, fine wines, premium single malts, comfortably appointed rooms, and experienced hunting guides and hunting dogs are the hallmarks of the Cheyenne Ridge. Being a guest at a family-owned hunting lodge means you’re treated just like family, and the owners wouldn’t have it any other way. Includes single occupancy accommodations, all food and beverages (including bar). Arrive early afternoon on day one and enjoy a round of sporting clays, shells included. After a great dinner and a peaceful rest you will enjoy the next two days of superb pheasant hunting. All transportation to and from airport and in the field is included, as well as Guides, Dogs, Shells and Loaner Shotgun (Beretta) if needed. Includes 7 roosters per day per man (extra roosters at $40 each). Can be taken Fall of 2016 or 2017 (reservation in month of October based on availability and subject to approval).

This shotgun will turn heads the way a Ferrari does when it pulls into the driveway. With the strength of steel and the weight of aluminum, the 12-gauge 828U has redefined the over/under category. The 828U features a patented steel locking system and plate, an easily removable trigger group receiver, and impulse activated ejectors. It has adjustable drop and cast, 5 different drops and 4 casts left and right. The amazingly light recoil is the result of the Progressive Comfort recoil reduction system – a brilliantly simple, spring-free fold of flexible “leaves” that reside in the stock. You get three leaf sets with the shotgun, for everything from light loads (doves or grouse anyone?) to three-inch magnums (for late-season roosters, or duck-time). The stock’s soft cheekpiece also reduces felt recoil. The check piece snaps off, and comes in different sizes to adjust to your face and shooting style. The 828U’s carbon fiber rib saves precious ounces, and you can replace the standard one with one that’s higher and/or wider if need be. There is nothing about the 828U that hasn’t been rethought and improved to create a hardworking, lightweight (6.5 lbs.), low-recoil shotgun. And in case you hadn’t noticed, this one has a very fetching AA walnut stock. Make it yours. Donated personally by the Board Members of your Illinois & Chicago Chapter.

American born artist, sportsman and wildlife enthusiast, John Banovich is perhaps the world’s best known wildlife artist. “Partners” is the title of this signed and numbered giclee, a signed Certificate of Authenticity is included. In the artist’s words - ““There is no greater bond in the big cat world than between pride males. Male lions often start out their lives as litter mates, and these two brothers will grow up together and leave the family pride together. If they successfully conquer all of the threats facing a lion in the wild, they will finally arrive at the day when they rule over a territory and have a pride of their own. Like all brothers, they will fight over the small stuff, but reconcile their differences fairly quickly. One day, as new heirs defending their own pride, they will face an enormous amount of challenges, but because of their deep connection, they will go to war for each other, defining what the word “partners” truly means.” - John Banovich, Artist Value: $1750. John Banovich has been a generous supporter and partner with SCI for the past 22 years. We thank John Banovich for this generous donation.

One of the hottest hunts these days is a hog hunt, and for good reason! The south has become overrun with wild boars, and they are more than a nuisance. A full-sized boar is a large, powerful animal, often having sharp tusks which it uses to defend itself. A charging boar is considered exceptionally dangerous, due to its thick hide and dense bones, making anything less than a kill shot a potentially very serious mistake. You have probably seen the ferocious charges and surprising size of these animals in videos on Facebook and YouTube. This donation is for two hunters, a 3-day/2-night hunt, and includes unlimited hogs and unlimited sizes! Also included are any 2 predators or varmints per day, including Bobcat, Coyote, Fox, Possum, Armadillo, Raccoon, Rabbit, Ringtail Cat, or Mountain Lion. They only see a few mountain lions per year, but they want them shot on sight! Day and night hunting sessions, all meals and drinks, and great lodging in the bunkhouse are all included. Hunters choice of weapons - rifle, shotgun, archery/bow/crossbow, or shotgun. You can start your 3-day hunt any day of the week except on a Friday. The hunt is to be taken within one year from the date of this banquet, and they are open all year. One word of advice – bring lots of ammo! Value $1,600.00. SCI thanks Independence Ranch for this 100% donation.

If you’ve ever had a hunting dog then you know how they become a part of your life and are forever loyal. This exquisite bronze evokes that bond and loyalty. World renowned artist Sandra Van Zandt established her reputation with sculptures of hunting dogs, game birds and bald eagles, many of which can be found in cities, museums and both corporate and private art collections throughout the United States. She was recently commissioned to sculpt several historic monuments, one of which was "The Spirit of Naval Aviation," a salute to all naval aviators in the 20th century. This heroic sized sculpture was unveiled at the Smithsonian's Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. and permanently enshrined at the entrance of the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida. “Job Well Done” is 14” x 16”, mounted on a beautiful rotating base of green marble and wood. It weighs approximately 43 pounds. The sculpture is signed in the bronze by the artist and numbered 4 of 10. We thank Dr. Pat Amoroso for this 100% donation.
