Turkey Shoot returns

After a year’s hiatus, the Old West Invitational Turkey Shoot (OWITS) will resume for its 11th year! This year’s event will take place April 28 to May 1 at the Greater Hulett Community Center in Hulett.

Hunters from all over the country will converge on Crook County and enjoy another great turkey season combined with fun activities and camaraderie. All events will take place at the Greater Hulett Community Center (GHCC) this year, beginning with an opening mixer and team auction Thursday night, competitive hunting all day Friday, barbeque and auction Friday night, more hunting Saturday morning and a final awards luncheon on Saturday at noon.

All proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the GHCC and the Wyoming Wildlife Foundation, each group sharing a 90/10 split, respectively.

The planning committee is looking for help from the Hulett community and surrounding area. If you are interested in being a participating landowner, please contact Lee Jay at 281-2991.

If you would like to become a sponsor for the event or volunteer with some aspect, please contact Michelle at the GHCC at 467-5939 or 282-0058.
