Fine Art<br />

"Snowed In" Whitetail Deer<br />

During his teens, the Game and Fish Department of Wyoming<br />

gave Brandon his first commission. Although only 16 years old,<br />

he was commissioned to create cover sketches for all State of<br />

Wyoming Hunting Regulation Pamphlets. The Game and Fish has<br />

since commissioned Brandon to do many other projects, including<br />

numerous benefit and auction items.<br />

Brandon has won many awards in art shows across the country and<br />

has participated in shows where he has raised thousands of dollars<br />

through art donations for the Wyoming Wildlife Heritage Expo,<br />

The Moose Foundation, The Elk Foundation, The Sheep Federation<br />

and Safari Club International. We are thrilled to once again have<br />

Brandon supporting our chapter this year.<br />

He has created this piece especially for us, entitled "Snowed In", which<br />

depicts a Canadian whitetail bedded in the snow with a backdrop of<br />

wild roses behind him. After a cold day, there is just that moment<br />

when the sun peeks through a cloud and warms up the cold setting.<br />

Schools Program<br />

Target, Bow & Arrow Combo Package<br />

The SCI Drayton Valley Chapter has been instrumental in<br />

introducing the NASP Program within our local schools. The<br />

efforts have resulted in over 14 schools participating in the<br />

program and a partnered initiative which brought the <strong>2015</strong><br />

NASP Provincials to our community. NASP has become a<br />

welcome addition to the lives of so many local youth and we are<br />

dedicated and passionate about continuing efforts toward its<br />

continued success. We are pleased to present this official NASP<br />

target, bow and arrow combination package.<br />
