The Carman and District Game & Fish held their annual banquet on Jan. 27 at the Ladies Legion Auxiliary Hall in Carman.
The fun-filled evening included a feast of fresh walleye with all the fixings and presentations of awards for the 2023 hunting and fishing season.
One award that stood out this year was a new trophy introduced in memory of Lloyd Nordquist, a former Game & Fish committee member. This special accolade was given to honour the most even deer head, showcasing both skillful hunting and careful craftsmanship. It was a touching tribute to a respected individual who made significant contributions to the organization. Dennis Derkson was the first recipient of the award.
Jacqueline Grundy was the recipient of the Biggest Deer Head Overall trophy for her buck that scored 144.70”.
Junior hunter Kyle Labossiere’s buck scored 96.7” which earned him the Junior Rifle-Biggest Deer Head Overall award.
The next event of the year for the club is the annual fishing derby on March 9 at Lake Stephenfield.
