Giving Back to the Community
Our Mission
Our Goal
Our History
To provide a family friendly event for our community that promotes outdoor educational programs and offers an exhibit of previous year’s trophy bucks for both young and old to enter and enjoy.
Our goal is to raise money through Buck Fever events which allow us to support various outdoor youth related organizations and activities of Seguin, Guadalupe County, and beyond. We thrive to provide education and awareness in protecting, preserving, and enjoying all wildlife, fish, and the native resources God has provided all of us; and to promote outdoor activities.
Buck Fever Event began in 1985 when a group of local hunters from Seguin, Texas wanted to showcase their trophies, tell their hunting stories, and invite others in the community to do the same.
Because of their love of the outdoors, these men also envisioned an event in which everyone attending, especially the youth, could be educated about the outdoors, and hopefully develop a passion of exploring the outdoors with photography, hiking, hunting, fishing, czmping, and more.
Over the years, the Buck Fever Event has grown and expanded into a multi-generational family event that kicks off each hunting season with great enthusiasm.
As well, Buck Fever now hosts a Casino Night each spring to raise additional revenue giving us the opportunity to support even more youth related organizations.
