The Bozeman Experience

2014 Blog Sponsor Logos

HFT 2014 kicked off in fine fashion, premiering to a packed house August 1st in the hometown of Sitka Gear and Kenetrek boots headquarters, Bozeman Montana! With much anticipation we made the 8 hour trek south and true to the hospitality and reception experienced in our 2013 rookie year, the Bozeman hunting community was out in full force, raising the roof at the Emerson. The amped up energy and fun atmosphere at the Premier set the tone for the HFT crews to head down the road and lay down our biggest and best Tour yet… Below are some of the highlights of the evening, enjoy!

The Price Is Right couldn’t hold a candle to the HFT Prize Draws – The crowd let loose at Intermission and enjoyed the HUGE generosity of all the cool gear and prizes donated by Vortex, The Huntin’ Fool, Sitka Gear, Kenetrek, Smith Optics Elite and YETI Coolers!

The mid-reel social in the adjoining hospitality room found everyone laughing and having a good time with family and friends, visiting the booths and chatting with various organizations representatives. Always fun to try and guess the score at the Boone and Crockett display!

Definitely one of the highlights of the evening was the lucky winner that took home the sweet little rifle donated by Kimber Manufacturing, their Mountain Ascent in .280 AI, the nicest off the shelf semi-custom lightweight rifle on the market today!

All in all the Bozeman Premier was an overwhelming success. We couldn’t have pulled it together without all the support from the sponsors and volunteers. A BIG shout out to the Bozeman community for taking time out of their busy summer and joining us… cheers! Be safe and hunt hard, have a great season!
