What Does A Member Receive.....?

    WBH has Big Game Awards, Small Game Awards, a Carp Trophy, a Big Buck Trophy and a Big Bear Trophy which are awarded to our members. For Big Game Awards, the successful member receives a gold pin for their first kill, a synthetic diamond for their next three deer kills, or ruby for a bear, an emerald for a coyote, a sapphire for a turkey, and a topaz for a bobcat. With kill number 5 the WBH member is placed on the honor roll maintained in the office, and receives an honor roll patch for all future big game kills recorded as a WBH member.

    WBH produces three annual publications - a magazine entitled "The Bowhunter" with two issues mailed to current year members in April and August. WBH supplements these publications with a newsletter that is sent to all current members in January of each year. The January newsletter serves as our convention notice. Each member receives a current year hat pin, a membership card, and 3 issues of our publications. All of the above is included in your membership dues.

    WBH holds an Annual Convention, traditionally the first weekend in March each year, wherein the members present vote on policies and activities for the next twelve months, and elect their directors to represent them. The convention also features guest speakers, seminars, and dealer displays. The convention site is selected several years in advance and is held in different places throughout the state of Wisconsin

    WBH sponsors the Necedah Shoot, the largest bowhunter shoot of its kind in the nation. It is held each year the weekend AFTER Labor Day beginning at noon on Friday. The member gains much at this shoot through contacts with experienced bowhunters. They become acquainted with good tackle and its proper use, as well as having an opportunity to shoot under natural hunting conditions at life-sized deer and bear silhouettes, which affords the member excellent practice.

    The Bowhunter Booster membership is available to clubs, businesses and even individuals for an annual fee of $25.00. The Booster's name is listed in our newsletter and receives a membership card large enough to display in their window. We urge our members to support those Booster members who support us.
