HuntOnly.com's 2nd Annual Hunter Palooza
December 5, 2009
Hunter Palooza 2009 promises to be one of the biggest Hunting Parties of 2009. We have already secured the Jeff Miller Band for entertainment and have some big things in the works that are sure to make for a great evening. This year we are also adding a large Silent Auction. Auction items will range from Taxidermy to Fully Guided Hunts.
Thanks to all who attended and all who donated items Hunter Palooza 2008 raised over $3,600. That money was donated to Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry and is used to process the donated deer. Usually toward the end of the hunting season these funds are completely depleted which means the butcher shops cannot take the donated deer and local families cannot get the food they need at the worst possible time of year, winter. The funds raised at Hunter Palooza allow butcher shops to keep processing donated deer, families to get the food they need AND it allows us to keep HUNTING! This event really comes full circle for a lot of people and has benefits far beyond the fun filled evening we enjoy.
If you're interested in getting involved or making a donation we would love to talk to you.

Hunter Palooza, What is it..?
Hunter Palooza began in 2008 as a way for a small group of hunters to get together one evening during the hunting season, enjoy some hunting talk, good music, and raise a little money for a good cause.
In 3 short weeks it went from a small gathering of hunters to a full blown event with multiple gun raffles, tons of door prizes, 50-50 raffles, a band and being fully catered by Outback Steakhouse. What started as just a gathering of some local hunters at a local bar one evening blew into something much bigger than we had planned very quickly.
In the end we had donations from nearly every local restaurant, including Texas Road House, Outback, Apple Bees and even Wal-Mart, Food Lion, Giant and Wawa stepped in and donated gift cards. Fred's Sports donated an H&R Ultra Slug Gun and FNH Arms donated a .40 cal Pistol. Motor Mouth Sounds made donations, along with many others from the local community.
Our small evening ended up with over 400 people through the front door that night and together as a local hunting community we raised $3,600. That money was donated to the Southern Maryland Chapter of Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry.
2009 is a new year and this year we have a little more time to plan and we are making plans to take Hunter Palooza to a whole new level. Stay tuned for all the details..!!
