I won the hunt last year from the Wyoming Business Council Meeting. Annie Wood announced my name as the winner, and I was so shocked. It was my first time going to the meeting to represent Women’s Outdoor News. I was very impressed that so many people came over and congratulated me on winning. Rose Marie Dvorchak was one of the women to come over to congratulate me on winning the antelope hunt. She was happy that a girl won this hunt, and informed me that I was the first girl to win it.

I sat there in the front row of the round table and was just amazed on how beautiful Wyoming really is. I watched the video of Wyoming and thought WOW! I would love to go there sometime. I have never been to Wyoming or to Colorado at this point in my life. I had no clue that I would be the next winner to go see beautiful Wyoming and Colorado so soon.
The Wyoming Business Council Meeting was held on Thursday the week of Shot Show. It was my turn to speak about how my hunt went with my husband Rick. I was so nervous about speaking in front of a large crowd that I was almost in tears and my voice was all nervously speaking. I don’t get the opportunity to speak in front of big crowds of people; if I did I may not have been so nervous. My wonderful husband Rick, bailed me out. We together told our hunting story and had the crowd laughing. By the time we ended our story, I was so relaxed and thought that wasn’t so bad. I could probably do that again!
I tell you this story, because I get to pull the winning name out of the basket and guess who wins the 2011 Antelope Hunt from the Wyoming Business Council. George Dvorchak is the name I pulled out; He is the writer for The Varmint Hunter Magazine. His wife Rose Marie came over last year to congratulate me on my winning the Antelope Hunt for 2010. He sat in the same seat as I did last year when I won the hunt, and just one more common denominator they are from Pennsylvania close to wear my husband and I grew up. How Bizarre? His name is George too!
I’m so happy for George and Rose Marie for winning the Antelope Hunt. I know they will have a great time just like Rick and I did. We had so much fun with Kelly Glause and Casey Miller with Cold Creek Outfitter. We had a fantastic vacation shooting our trophy antelope, and touring Wyoming. We even made time to meet up with our WOMA member Stacey Huston with Focus on the Wild in Cody, Wyoming. We tasted some delicious Buffalo Steak and my husband Rick kept saying this is like a second honeymoon. So I’m so glad that they both hunt and can enjoy their special time together just like Rick and I did. I wish them good luck on their Antelope Hunt in 2011!

Hey Georgette,
And then, there’s the coincidence of your last name being the same as Annie Wood’s last name? Is this hunt destined for those named Wood or with the name George? Is it rigged?
Great story by the way and how sweet of Rick to support you like that … but he just seems to be that type of person, and for that, you are fortunate!

Barb,
Your right about the coincidence of our last name and no it wasn’t set up! So weird how we have the same last name and we aren’t related! We have the same personality though! Thank you for the comment about my husband yes he is very supportive of me and I’m supportive of him! We both stay so busy with our family and with GSS Competition, LLC, with Real Outdoor World, The WOMA, Independent Pampered Chef Consultant,and soon to be working with Sportsman Dream Trips. So he is very happy that I’m involved with the outdoor sports! We will be killing the empty nest syndrom that will happen in a few years!!! LOL
I’m glad you enjoyed the story I wrote about George and his wife Rose Marie, they seem like a wonderul couple. I’m very happy they won the hunt!!
