Texas Wild Hog Hunt for Two Hunters
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.

"Liberal Privilege" Signed by Donald Trump Jr.
While everyday Americans strive to make an honest living by working hard, liberals within the swamp have perfected a way of barely working while elevating themselves above all of us. This signed copy of LIBERAL PRIVILEGE will take you behind the scenes of the swamp. In his second book, #1 New York Times best selling author, Donald Trump Jr. reveals the truth the media has long refused to cover. Read about the countless liberal scandals, years of entrenched racism in the democrat party and decades of failed polices that will paint a stark picture of LIBERAL PRIVILEGE. As woke liberals attempt to burn our cities, abolish capitalism and rewrite history, liberals stand idly by encased by political correctness and guilt. Donald Trump Jr. masterfully eviscerates critics in LIBERAL PRIVILEGE in a raw, witty and very direct way. Few American families have accomplished so little and benefited so much as the Biden’s. Through corruption, grift, and sheer greed - Joe Biden, Hunter, and the rest of the clan have exemplified LIBERAL PRIVILEGE. A must read for anyone who loves our country! We thank Kim Jacobs for this 100% donation.

Carved Cape Buffalo Horns
This is a matched pair of hand-carved Cape buffalo horns. You never see Cape buffalo horns used in artwork or crafts because they are so expensive and dangerous to hunt, and a matched pair is rarer still. These horns have been meticulously hand-carved by a tribal craftsman in Africa. The polished carvings depict the African “Big 5” on each of the horns. The wooden end caps, made from local African hardwood, have also been carefully formed and hand-fitted by the craftsman. These unique, one-of-a-kind horns will look great as a fascinating conversation piece in any home, office or trophy room. These carved horns are such an extremely rare find that they aren’t even found at the legendary SCI annual convention. You can search and search, but there are only two places you can find these – here at our auction, or somewhere in a small un-named village in the heart of the Dark Continent. Considering the cost of a Cape buffalo hunt, the days of meticulous work by a tribal craftsman, and the rarity of such a find, these horns will be an absolute bargain for the winner of this auction. NOTE: The winner should add these to their home insurance policy. We thank Dale and Marla Rimkus for this 100% donation.
