Limited Edition Photos Of 9-11
Lot # 402 (Sale Order: 1 of 75)
The print series First Pass, Defenders over Washington and Ground Zero, Eagles on Station were commissioned by the USAF. The goal of the work was to recreate the scenes over Washington D.C. and the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001 from the perspective of the first Air Force fighter crews to be scrambled that morning. First Pass (#643/1250) was signed by Mission Commander, Capt. Dean Eckmann, Wingman Major Brad Derrig and Capt. Craig Borgstrom - the first pilots on the scene over the D.C. area. Ground Zero (#149/1250) was signed by Lt Col Tim Duffy and wingman Major Dan Nash, who flew over the Twin Towers just moments after it had been hit. The prints are also signed by artist Rick Herter who was selected from 100 artists for this print program. This is a powerful and emotional set.

Swan River Original Painting On Silk By Nanc
Lot # 405 (Sale Order: 4 of 75)
Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey's portraits and landscapes are sensual and bold, uplifting, and distinctly contemporary in their flair. They reflect the expansive vision of an artist who lives in Bigfork, Montana, and draws upon the rich cultures of France, England and the Middle East where she traveled and lived for many years. An internationalist at heart, Cawdrey uses German brushes to paint French dyes across Chinese silk. She gives the refined tradition of silk painting a more rambunctious edge, and she delights in exploring the symbolic power of the American West: cowboys and cowgirls, wildlife and grand vistas. Last year, Nancy's quick-draw sold for $17,000 at Elk Camp! Nancy has contributed more than $18,000 to the Elk Foundation's Business Partners in Conservation program.

Antique Squash Blossom Necklace & Earrings
Lot # 407 (Sale Order: 6 of 75)
This antique squash blossom set was generously donated by John and Alice Taylor RMEF Life Members and Nampa, Idaho Chapter Committee Members. The beautiful solid sterling silver and turquoise squash blossom necklace and earrings were made in the 1950s and given to Charlotte Eldridge, from Phoenix, Arizona. Charlotte was a prominent television star and champion of Native American rights. The squash blossom necklace is said to have design influence all the way back to the 1500-1600s and the Spanish Conquistidors, but most of the design can be recognized within the last 150 years. The style portrays the close interaction between the Pueblo and Navajo Indians since the mid-1800s. The necklace design itself is said to be Navajo, adopted by the Zuni; yet the incorporation of turquoise on each of the blossoms is said to be the Zuni's influence later adopted by the Navajo.

Griz Costume & Original Painting
Lot # 413 (Sale Order: 12 of 75)
Longtime elk camp legend Ferrin 'Griz' Dodson died of cancer February 3rd this year, and his presence and charisma will be deeply missed. Griz was famous for his good humor and for the wild frontiersman outfit he wore the first few days of convention each year. But, just as everyone would get used to his getup, along came Grand Banquet and our own mountain man would become 'Dapper Dan' as Griz doned a tux. Griz's family has generously donated his infamous costume displayed in a wonderful shadowbox. They also commissioned artist W. Downey Dyer, of Santa Cruz, California, to paint his portrait. This original oil painting will accompany Griz's costume. At the buyer's discretion, the costume and painting will be on display at the RMEF new headquarters visitors center, for one year, once the new building is completed. Griz, it's just not the same without you.

Through The Pass Original Oil By Randy Van Beek
Lot # 426 (Sale Order: 25 of 75)
Randy Van Beek began painting fulltime in 1980. Randy's interest was always in traditional realism, and he sought out his own education. Most of his attention was focused on the eighteenth century Dutch and Austrian masters, and the nineteenth century American painters, particularly the Hudson River School group. His work has evolved into a unique style truly his own, but the influence of the traditional masters is evident. Randy's subjects range from rural landscapes to wilderness and wildlife. Randy has received many awards and three art magazines have featured him in their artist profile editorials. Randy was named the RMEF 2001 Featured Artist for his painting, Twin Sisters Royalty. Randy has contributed more than $75,000 to the Elk Foundation's Business Partners in Conservation program.

Pioneer Original Painting By Larry Zabel
Lot # 434 (Sale Order: 33 of 75)
Montana artist Larry Zabel felt the most fitting way to celebrate RMEF 20th Anniversary was to honor RMEF's first acquisition project. The 17,000-acre Robb Creek project located in southwest Montana was finalized in 1987 when RMEF was still in Troy and lead to the establishment of the Robb-Ledford Wildlife Management Area. Larry captured a moment in time that depicts the pioneering spirit of an early Robb Creek homesteader. The Robb-Ledford Wildlife Management Area has become a true "land for the pioneering spirit."

Custom-crafted Black Powder Rifle By Al Edge
Lot # 449 (Sale Order: 47 of 75)
Al is highly respected for his ability to recreate and restore early American rifles, notably restoration work for the National Firearm's Museum, currently on display and noted in The American Rifleman and American Hunter magazines. Whether it's target work, hunting, re-enactments, or collecting, Al builds each piece with the care and attention to detail necessary to create a piece of functional art. A native Virginian, his specialty is Virginia rifles; however, his knowledge encompasses early American guns from the l8th and l9th centuries. Al has built something very special for the RMEF 20th Anniversary Elk Camp and no matter what the intended use, the lucky owner of Al's replica gun will bring decades of enjoyment.
