Great ideas are often conceived around a campfire amongst old friends – one such idea was conceived by a few dedicated young WSF members who, while recognizing and appreciating those who have had the opportunity to sheep hunt, wanted to create something special to reach out to those who have not been so lucky…Yet.

“Members of the <1 Club will be recognized for their tireless dedication to pursuing that dream...
