Colorado statewide mountain goat tag - Same as above

Colorado statewide pronghorn tag - Same as above; only 500 tickets available

Custom Weaver Rifle - Custom 270 WSM built on Classic Winchester Action. Bench rest trued, Pac Nor Barrel, High Grade English Walnut Stock, Talley rings and Swarovski Z3 3-9X scope. 35th Anniversary RMBS engraving. ($6,225 retail value); only 500 tickes available

High Tech Synthetic Sheep Hunter Stock coated in Natural Gear Gamo. Talley rings and Swarovski Z3 3-9X scope. 35th Anniversary RMBS engraving. ($4,495 retail value); only 500 tickets available

Also, the RMBS banquet will be held on April 24th in Denver. I'd like to see some Hunttalk members there! For more information:

Here are the 2009 (left) and 2008 rams taken by the raffle winners. The 2008 ram nets over 180. Not sure about the 2009 ram, but I think it's a touch bigger.

I could sure use a couple of custom $25 dollar rifles for the safe...thanks for the link.
 
Bump, because I can. ;)

BTW, for those I know, you can get tickets directly from me.
 
Oak, how many ppl put in for the bighorn raffle last year?
 
I did some looking and if drawn the going guide rate is $4k for five days....is five days seriously enough time to locate a trophy bighorn?
 
I know this game...it's called "Stump the Dummy". I guess this is the part where you tell me there isn't a guide requirement for non-res???
 
Just saying if you had that tag, any NR with a 1/4 brain(1/4 brain also reads "sheep experience", which you have) could go out on their own and kill 170 ram no problem. 180 wouldn't be to far of a stretch either with a little luck and time. I guess if you want a bigger ram go guided:)

There will be some interesting hunts auctioned off at the banquet, including Alberta wolf (bring three of your buddies at 4x the winning bid) and NM oryx.
 
sent mine off and also emailed it to everyone I know that doesn't visit hunttalk.....;)

I'm going to win the 7mm and use it to get a 130 class ram.....

It would suck to shoot a big one right away :D

I won't guide you, but I'll go along. I'm not a licensed outfitter, so I don't think I can accept your beer. ;)
 
hahaha i took down the guided part. I don't like the pressure of having a guide hahahahhaa

I'm feeling it though. That tag is mine!!! It will look good next to my dall ram after I draw that tag next week.
 
Excellent idea...Oak and Wyo scout my ram out, give me a call when you find a good'en, then I'll drive up and you point the way.

Wyo...how many tickets did you buy for the BH?
