If you, like most hunters, have ever dreamed of having a world record, then this is your chance! Here is the all-time archery world record whitetail deer crafted in bronze by world-famous wildlife sculptor Danny Edwards. This exceptional piece stands 21-1/4” high on a solid walnut base. Cast in pure bronze with hand-finished patina, this is the real thing weighing over 30 pounds, not one of those inexpensive light-weight replicas. An authentic bronze such as this will look impressive on your mantle or in your office or trophy room. Of course, you can always tell your buddies that this is a bronze of a deer you took long ago! Now retired and no longer available, this bronze was limited to only 100 pieces, and this is number 46 (as engraved into the terrain of the sculpture). Bowhunting’s finest trophy whitetail, 204-4/8 Pope & Young, was taken in 1965 by Mel Johnson in central Illinois. Value: $3,695. We thank Dale and Marla Rimkus for this 100% donation.

Auction revenue funds a great portion of SCI Illinois Chapter's operating budget. The majority of the dollars raised goes to support SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter's conservation and education programs and for protection of the hunter. The term “auction” refers to silent auction, live auction and raffle. A person registered and bidding through the official SCI Illinois Chapter’s online auction will be considered to be registered and present for the auction.
Items donated to SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter and amounts paid to SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter as part of the auction do not qualify as charitable deductions. SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter is not a qualified charitable organization.
These Auction Program and Online Bidding Rules and Regulations apply to auctions and raffles
conducted for the benefit of SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter. Any exceptions to these Auction Program and Online Bidding Rules & Regulations must be reviewed and accepted by Show Management and, if necessary, the SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter’s Banquet Committee.
SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter will restrict or refuse access to corporations, companies, members or individuals, to SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter convention goods or services (i.e. booth space(s) at future conventions, convention registration(s), access to auction purchases, etc.), if those corporations, companies, members or individuals have an outstanding balance due or past due to SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter for any reason. For the purposes of this policy, balances due would include, but are not limited to, balances due from advertising agreements, prior exhibit agreements (booth rentals), and all prior auction purchases and commitments to the foundation.

AUCTION BIDDING PROCEDURES AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
1. You or your representative (designated individual must have written, notarized authorization by
you stating maximum bidding price for each of the items of interest) must be registered and present
during the auction to be eligible to bid. A person who bids on behalf of another person or group will be
ultimately held responsible for payment in its entirety. SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter shall have the right to prohibit individuals who have an outstanding balance due or past due to SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter or for any reason from participation in auctions.

No services auctioned are to or will be performed by SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter.
4. After bidding for an item concludes and the auctioneer designates a winning bidder, the
designated winner (buyer) must immediately agree to a Buyer's Agreement. For buyers at the auction
location, the buyer must sign the Buyer's Agreement and one copy will be given to the buyer. For online
buyers, when the buyer clicks "I accept" after reading the Buyer's Agreement or makes payment, the
buyer is deemed to agree to the Buyer's Agreement. For silent auctions, the Silent Auction Bid Sheet is
considered the Buyer's Agreement to purchase the indicated item. All signatures on Buyer's
Agreements or Silent Auction Bid Sheets, and "I accept" or payment for online purchases, are legal and binding. SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter will not recognize changes, additions or deletions to any auction description agreed to by the buyer and donor unless such changes are noted on the Buyer's Agreement and signed by the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor, or in the case of online buyers, noted in an electronic writing exchanged between the buyer and an authorized representative of the donor.

and/or arbitration, shall be in Dupage County, Illinois.
b. Any dispute or action arising out of or relating to the Auction and purchases made at the

one arbitrator, with said arbitration to be held in Dupage County, Illinois.
7. If during a live auction, a final bid for an item is erroneously taken from two bidders, the bidding
is closed to everyone else except those two bidders. The high bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer
shall be the purchaser; the auctioneer shall have the sole and final discretion to determine the
successful bidder in any auction. At each live auction, there will be pre-designated bid spotters in the
audience, and it is the responsibility of the bidder to direct bids to the nearest spotter. The auctioneers

close of the Saturday Night Auction. Arrangements for the removal of all items must be made before the
close of the Saturday Night Auction. Any auction items that have not been paid for by the close of the
Saturday Night Auction may be subject to a 10% surcharge, which will be added to the winning bid and
this total will then become the purchase price. Any items not removed by the close of the event
will be deposited with a third party shipper. Shipping arrangements and costs will be the responsibility
of the buyer in every case. Any bidder/purchaser who leaves his/her purchases at the event does
so at his/her own risk. SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter is not responsible for any item not removed from the Auction venue by the winning bidder/purchaser.

representative of onlinehuntingauctions.com will then try to purchase your items of choice at the lowest
price but never for more than the top amount you indicate. To place an absentee bid online, you will
need to provide in advance a pre-approved credit card or other method of payment, bank reference,
item to bid on and maximum bidding price that is acceptable to SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter. Bids submitted online, prior to a live auction, are absentee bids that must be executed on the bidders’ behalf by an SCI Illinois Chapter representative or representative of onlinehuntingauctions.com, and recognized and accepted by an auctioneer during the live auction.

hunt, travel, service and other item, the list of expenses in auction item descriptions should not be
considered exhaustive or definitive and SCI Illinois & Chicago Chapter will not be held responsible for their completeness or accuracy.
