Montana Bowhunters Association Auction for Gene Wensel
« on: July 29, 2024, 06:38:31 AM »
All of us know or know of Gene Wensel. He’s been a huge part of the traditional community for close to 60 years. The Montana Bowhunters Association is proud to have put together two outstanding auction packages with all proceeds going to support Gene and Donna Wensel.

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!

Moose Print Package:
-Canvas print of Alaskan Moose by Cecelia Clapham. #4 and only a few were made.
-Mid 50’s Bear left hand recurve number HE427 62” 47# from The Footed Shaft
-Custom Shadow box with 6 cedar arrows tipped with 2 Zwickey, 2 Woodsman, and 2 Bear broadheads made by Marlon Clapham in the mid 90’s.
-Custom barnwood turkey fan display plaque by Jeff and Elisha Kennedy
-12 Zwickey two blade broadheads from The Footed Shaft

Whitetail Print Package:
-Canvas print of a Whitetail Buck by Cecelia Clapham. #2 and only a few were made.
-Custom copper picture frame by Jim Clapham
-Mid 50’s Bear right hand recurve number HD167 62” 48# from The Footed Shaft
-Custom Shadow box with 6 cedar arrows tipped with 2 Zwickey, 2 Woodsman, and 2 Bear broadheads made by Marlon Clapham in the mid 90’s.
-Custom barnwood Euro display plaque by Jeff and Elisha Kennedy
-12 Zwickey two blade broadheads from The Footed Shaft

All donors are personal friends of Gene’s which makes this auction even more special. Both prints from Cecelia Clapham come with a signed certificate of authenticity.

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
