Ribka,  maybe just list it in the classifieds yourself, and then after it sells, donate the money?

 :yeah:I like the way you think :tup:  This is awesome, to see everyone come together to remember Colokum and support what he fought for and those he left behind.  I too never met Aaron.  This upcoming season much of my time will be spent reflecting on the privilege's I have, and those who protect it for us.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Economy failure = Too many people spending money they don't have on things they don't need to impress people they don't like.

I put this on another of the benefit auction threads but thought I'd put it here also so it could get more bidders when JL puts it up for auction.



After consideration on which auction to provide, I think the bow hunt is what we are going with. My intention with the weekend get-a-way for the Blanchard family was to donate the stay and to donate any funds raised through the auction. Looks like it may be very hard for JL to keep track of all who would donate. If BLRMAN wants to PM me I think  Wendy and I can still do something for a stay for the family N/C.         So here is my auction donation:

Semi-Guided Archery Hunt for two. Arrive afternoon Sept 6th and check out morning Sept. 9th. Here is what you get: Lodging, Meals, Access to private land, Scouting prior to your arrival, stand and blind placement,then you hunt on your own. I will spend the first day  showing you where I have seen the game. You can hunt mule deer,whitetail deer, bear, and I have seen a couple elk on one of my leases. Value w/tax is $800

Thank you Jackelope for all your work on these auctions. Let me know what else I need to do. Pics are from a couple of our properties.
Thanks for all for your past support...We officially pulled the plug and have retired from the Biz. Still dabble a little in real estate.
