Colorado Statewide Bighorn Sheep Tag-2016

[Steve O]

We are about halfway through our second Swarovski optics raffle. Only 250 tickets are sold for each raffle, then we start a new one. All winners drawn April 16. Winners choose between 10x42 EL Range binos and 25-60x65 STX spotting scope. We could probably make that an ATX if the winner prefers.

Heck. I've been buying ticket for this stuff for a long time. I never knew there was more than one optics winner. Next year I'm going to have to send in right away and then get another couple every week or two. Will get all those tickets bought soon.

I look at the rifles one more time.

Damn. They are purty.

I do not deserve it, but hopn'

They have been known to migrate south. We shipped one of the rifles to Texas last year.

Do these Sheep you speak of come down to Lick the salt off the roads in the mornings? John

Just like all of us, I'm afraid some of them do have bad habits.

Thanks for posting, and hope the fundraiser does VERY well! I got my tickets and my fingers are crossed.

I am bad a math. Seems better odds in this sheep drawing than if are a non-resident applying for Idaho sheep. Spend an equivalent amount obviously to get the odds. I am in. Again. Like the online option, too. EZPZ.

OK, Let's find a salt licker! John

Colorado raffle drawing - 1:2900 to 3500 odds.

Idaho 2015 Rocky Mountain Sheep Drawing - 5:1027 (1:205) odds.

While I encourage you to buy a ticket for this drawing, you are bad at math.

Colorado raffle drawing - 1:2900 to 3500 odds.

Idaho 2015 Rocky Mountain Sheep Drawing - 5:1027 (1:205) odds.

BUT...he qualified it with:

Spend an equivalent amount obviously to get the odds.

Spend more money and you get better odds. You can purchase up to 25 tickets, so... 1/140?

 

[Oak]

And if the drawing were held today the odds would be about 1/55!

Don't let anyone print smudge my EL Ranges Oak.

 

[HuntsByDesign]

I'm in. Not sure what I'd do if I drew as I've never even seen a bighorn in the wild.

 

[Sandbrew]

Don't worry HuntsByDesign last years winner in Oak's post #12 found his ram with just an X on map. ;-)

 

[Oak]

Aw jeez, who let Sandbrew in here? Better have brought beer.

Someone told me that it's hard to sell tickets for dead rams. So here are some live ones still running around the state. Remember that the NR winners of the sheep, goat, and pronghorn raffles do not pay the $2,080 NR fee for the license.

Seeing lots and lots of support from HT coming through. It's much appreciated. At this rate we will be starting a 3rd Swarovski raffle before long.

Oak way of putting on bedazzled jeans and slicking his mullet back trying get us to "bid higher" like Doyle.
