Gene is one of the Montana Bowhunter Association’s founding fathers, and a true bowhunting legend. As many of you may already know, Donna has been in a memory care home with advanced dementia for several years and the costs associated with her care have been enormous.
We would not have the bowhunting opportunity that we do in the state of Montana if Gene had not been sitting at the table back in the early 70’s when the concept of the MBA was born. For all he has given to archery and bowhunting world wide his impact has been immeasurable. This is a fine chance to give back to someone who has directly or indirectly touched all our lives when we’ve been afield looking for that perfect spot to ambush a whitetail buck. Lets see what we can do for Gene and Donna and let the bidding begin!

This is great, but is there a way one could make a donation to them?I’m not sure. You could probably contact the MBA and send a donation to them to add to the winning big. I can also reach out to Brian Kolzier to see if he has any information on a donation
