NB Ewes News: Celebrating Conservation, Community, and the Future of Hunting! The spirit of conservation and community shone brightly this past season, with NBU and the dedicated NB Ewes leading the charge on several impactful initiatives. From a record-breaking banquet to empowering new hunters, it's been a period of immense success and growing enthusiasm for Nevada's wildlife. A Night to Remember: NBU's 45th Annual Banquet NBU's 45th Annual Banquet was a resounding success, bringing together passionate conservationists to celebrate and support Nevada's bighorns and wild places. A highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Ladies Basket Raffle , which saw an incredible outpouring of generosity with over 60 beautifully curated baskets donated! The funds raised from this raffle directly contribute to NBU's critical wildlife conservation efforts and initiatives aimed at getting more kids involved in hunting – securing the future of our outdoor heritage. The highly anticipated Youth Backpack Raffle was back with a bang at this year’s banquet! Over 20 backpacks were donated, creating an exciting atmosphere for our youngest supporters. Every child who purchased a ticket received a treat, and four incredibly lucky winners walked away with premium backpacks valued at over $400 each! It was a fantastic way to encourage participation and ignite a passion for the outdoors.

Empowering women in the Field: Ladies Shotgun Clinic NBU was proud to sponsor a successful Ladies Shotgun Clinic , providing a fantastic opportunity for women to learn the fundamentals of shotgun shooting. Despite braving some challenging snow and wind conditions, 12 enthusiastic ladies joined us for a day dedicated to safety, shooting basics, and the thrill of breaking clays on the skeet range.
