[Oak]

And the winners are:

Swarovski Optics #1 - Brian Tucker, Colorado
Swarovski Optics #2 - Lloyd Blackwood, North Carolina
Weaver .270WSM - Chris Weller, Colorado
CO Statewide Pronghorn - Brent Fassett, Colorado
CO Statewide Mountain Goat - Bill Wagner, Colorado
CO Statewide Bighorn Sheep - Joe Vander Poel, California

Thank you to everyone who threw their name in the hats. It was a very successful year. The Weaver 7mm winner will be drawn on June 27. Hopefully online ticket sales will be open again shortly.

In the past, I have heard complaints that non-residents seldom win or your odds are not as good if you don't get to crease your ticket when you put it in the bin. In my experience, that is not the case. Four of the 6 winners last night were from online ticket orders.

Hope it was a big success. You guys put a ton of work into that organization. Thanks for doing so, even if I didn't win.

Prolly couldn't fit it in with my ID moose and my MT sheep, so no biggie.

Oak - Do you release a grand total raised from ticket sales? I do not think I participated in the past but did this year after seeing your posts. Thanks for all you and the others do to make this a success and help to keep sheep on the mountain.

 

[AKDrifter]

Thanks for the opportunity, I hope you raised a truck load of cash!

 

[Oak]

I will post the total $ from the raffles as soon as we have the number. It was indeed a truck load of cash. In May we get to sit down for a whole day with CPW and start deciding which projects will get funded this year. That's the fun stuff.

Chris Weller did he donate a rifle and then win the raffle. That would be very cool!

 

[Dinkshooter]

Kevin Weaver puts the guns together we rafflle. I seriously doubt he buys any tickets

Good news to hear.

The Weaver 7mag is offered up in June right?

...so all this time you ain't been creasing my ticket.

 

[Big Fin]

...so all this time you ain't been creasing my ticket.

Yeah, next year I want to "dog ear" my own tickets. Or, I can proxy one of you guys to do that for me. Without a dog ear, a guy doesn't stand a chance.

I should be more careful...one never knows how Dink might interpret that request.

The crowd chants for an S2 project!

Awesome banquet again, many thanks to Oak, Dinkshooter and the others that helped make it happen. Great time.

The sheep, mountain goat and pronghorn ticket sales totaled $125,100.

Thanks again to everyone who participated.

Holy jeebus that is a truckload. Awesome to hear it was so successful and based on my purchase my odds were roughly10x better of drawing the CO statewide than a 680 tag in MT.
