Stone Sheep door prize (still time for you to win)

[scree]

Time is almost up! The Washington Wild Sheep Foundation banquet is at the Snoqualmie Casino in Snoqualmie, Washington March 8th, only one week from today.   
Everything is coming together very nicely and we wanted to share with you some additional information. We have about 50 tickets left so if you and/or your friends have been putting off buying tickets, do not wait any longer!  No tickets will be sold at the door.  If you are a life member or are considering joining, don't forget we are GIVING away a Stone's Sheep hunt in the Yukon to one lucky life member that is present at the banquet.  As of a few days ago, only 110 life members have purchased banquet tickets.  Those are pretty good odds for a $30,000 door prize!  Tickets can be purchased online at washingtonwsf.org
More information can be found below.  Our most current updates can be found on our Facebook page and our website washingtonwsf.org
 Thank you and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.

Are tickets still available to the banquet Scree?

[popeshawnpaul]

I'll be there with my daughter and wife.  Hope you guys raise some money.  This is my year to win the stone hunt so nobody show up! 

Here is the image that will be auctioned:

[Elkstuffer]

Great picture Shawn!

[Falcon]

Great shot Shawn and thanks for donating that great picture.

Good luck on the draw. I think all of us lifetime members understand that these are probably the best odds we will ever have to draw a hunt like this.

If you draw that hunt I will buy you a drink

[popeshawnpaul]

If you draw that hunt I will buy you a drink

If I draw I'm sure I'll buy a round of drinks for everyone!

[B.G.hunter]

That's a great picture of an awesome sheep!

[Ridgerunner]

I'd love that hunt!  Can't wait fir the banquet , always a good time.

[starbailey]

What a fantastic opportunity to win a hunt of a lifetime! There is no place like the Yukon to go hunting especially with a stone sheep tag in your pocket! Good luck to everyone.
 It will be so awesome to hear the booing in the room when they call my name!

Brian,
Last year the dude that won was from the Claw.
I am looking forward to hearing the same home town mentioned but with another character

[trophyhunt]

Looking forward to it, first time for the wife and I going. I wish the lifetime fee was the same as last year, that's a heck of a hunt to win!  Good luck Brian!

[trophyhunt]

I cannot find anything to click on for hotel information regarding special pricing?

[starbailey]

Ya, life time fee was a bargain last year, that's why we had so many people join as lifers last year. Still, I think there is only about 140 of us that have registered for the banquet. NO BETTER ODDS TO DRAW A SHEEP HUNT ANYWHERE!

Brian, haven't you heard lightning doesn't strike in the same place twice?

[starbailey]

I cannot find anything to click on for hotel information regarding special pricing?

The hilton in Issaquah had a time limit on the special room rates. I think it was up Feb 20th.

[trophyhunt]

Thanks

maybe that tag should come to the eastside where it will really be appreciated what do you think ramslam

[WACATHUNTER]

I'm feeling very lucky! Can't wait see you all there!
WACAT

[scree]

I don't know Ihrbull, I don't think you stand a chance of winning.  I think you might have used up all your good luck on that B&C bull moose you killed last fall

[NoBark]

I've been rubbing my lucky rabbit's foot for a month!  You guys don't stand a chance. 

[lhrbull]

scree you have all the luck 20 years younger than me and all the sheep you have already harvested you should probally re-donate the trip when you get drawn

[Bob33]

Still, I think there is only about 140 of us that have registered for the banquet. NO BETTER ODDS TO DRAW A SHEEP HUNT ANYWHERE!

?

[scree]

Ihrbull no doubt I have been blessed  but re donate it  not a chance.  Duling Stone is one of the best in the business.  Whoever wins it is going to have the hunt of a life time

Bob Starbailey was talking about the number of life members registered (you must be a life member in attendance to be eligible for the stone sheep drawing), not the total number of folks registered.  He is right probably the best odds anywhere.

[ramslam]

I hate to break it to you fellas but the winner will be...........






ME!!!!!!!!!

[Falcon]

I hate to break it to you fellas but the winner will be...........

Glen,

Good luck on that.

Gonna be a crazy night






ME!!!!!!!!!

[trophyhunt]

See you guys in a few, stayin at a hotel so the drinks will going down! 

[mulehunter]

Great picture Shawn!

 

[trophyhunt]

That was a blast!  For my first wildlife banquet I'd have to say I'm impressed, they raised a ton of money and put a great spread on.  Met some good guys and put faces to the names.  Glad they have taxi service at all hours, wife and I didn't leave till around 3.  Bedtime early tonight!!! Thanks to falcon and ridge runner for having us at their table, I'm already looking forward to next year!

[Falcon]

Jerry

Glad you and your wife made the event.
Been to this event for the last 5 years.
Washington Wild Sheep Foundation is a class act and they continue to impress me with everything they
Do for wildlife with their members.

Hope to see you again at our table next year!

I've been going for 3 years and this is by far our favorite banquet to attend every year. There are some great people and most are willing give back selflessly. Anyone know how much the final tally was for the "put one back on the mountain" donation?

[bearpaw]

Anybody know who won the sheep hunt?

[Falcon]

A guy named Brian from Idaho.
I don't know him but he was sitting to the table next to us.
When glen said the guys first name was brian which is also my name i took a deep breath.

Happy for the dude

[Bean Counter]

Congrats to the winner! Here's to a great hunt 

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the future of wild sheep

Seriously, our table had some pretty good odds there for a bit!

Thanks for the hospitality Falcon, that was a great time!

I believe the total for the put one back donation 28.5K!  Now talk about a selfless group of conservation minded sportsmen. 

[ramslam]

$29,305

[Whitpirate]

$29305/250 = 117.2 sheep! 

[starbailey]

It was a great banquet one again. It's our members that come and are willing to participate that make it great. Thanks especially to the donors, because without them we couldn't raise the $ for conservation that we do.
 I also want to thank everyone who brought a mount for the display. By far the best ram display I've ever seen anywhere! 48 shoulder and life size mounts along with atleast 20 ero heads! Just amazing to look at all those great rams.
 thank all who support WA WSF.
  Bryan

[lhrbull]

falcon were you at the table with lance or the other way Aaron because I was at the table to the north east of him
