Bozeman DU Banquet

[mdunc8]

For those of you in the Bozeman area, DU will be having its "annual fall" banquet August 23rd at the Best Western Gran Tree. In addition to the huge collection of guns that will be given away, we already have quite a few auction and raffle items. Live auction items will include an African safari, Argentina dove hunt, 10x12 tent from Montana Canvas, a guided SW Montana float trip, a retreat that includes horseback riding at the Nine Quarter Circle Ranch (up the Taylor Fork), a custom painting of a fish of your choosing (up to 35"), a pair of hand carved decoys by Mark Natale as well as about 15 other packages. A few of the raffle or silent auction items include a Sitka package, a Winston fly rod, tons of decoys, a HuntingGPS package that includes chips for MT, ID, and WY, discounts with local taxidermists, and many other packages and prizes. We also have some nice jewelry and prizes geared more towards the ladies as well as some great prizes for your kids. Tickets are $40 for singles, $75 for couples, and $20 for kids under 18. We also have a few corporate tables left, which run $1,000 a piece and include 8 adult tickets, 2 bottles of wine, and a shotgun. All tickets include a great meal and I believe, but am not sure, a few drink tickets. You can purchase tickets at http://www.bozemandu.org/ or shoot me a PM if you'd like to meet up to purchase a few tickets. We've already sold quite a few tickets and are expecting to sellout, so I wouldn't plan on buying any the night of the event.

Thanks,
Mike

You should be in Glasgow this weekend for the state DU. Few guys from Bozeman are here. I have sat at this registration table for two days now.

Wish I could have made Nemont. Got a brand new baby in the house, so I've been on lockdown. You guys have a pretty good showing?

Thanks again Tony. Please toss a couple cards or pamphlets in with them for me to leave out with the calls in the banquet.

Nope, which means I'll be jumping on the $10 bottomless mug at precisely 1730.
