I want to also give a big thanks to the members who set up the banquet and got all of the items for the auction and raffle.  There were some really nice items in the silent auction and the raffle.  Although I told my buddy that it would be hard for someone to wear that Seahawks jersey to a game full of drunk fans trying to explain why he likes sheep, a joke  about Montana kept popping up in my head.  Andy was a class act acknowledging the vets and first responders.  The only other thing I would have liked to have seen was for them to acknowledge some of the guides who have been donating for several years.

I don't think the tag should be allowed to be turned back in and auctioned off,  although it does raise more money, it goes against what that drawing is for and probably against what a lot of the contributors would have wanted who donated towards the hunt.  Throw it up to auction and the number of guys who would have paid the big bucks is pretty limited.  Just my opinion.  It'll be interesting to see what happens next year for sure.

 :yeah: I couldn't agree more.  The wife and I had a great time.  Scree, you and the rest of the Board did a great job putting this together.  I haven't been for a few years and had forgot how much fun it is.

Absolutely I should have mentioned the donors/outfitters.  A sincere thanks goes out to them for sure!  I added that to my after action review list. Thanks for bring it up they most certainly deserve it!

thanks to the board and others for putting together a great event with the proceeds going to conservation. I also applaud there decision at the end because another out come may have cause those that donated money to sponsor that hunt to reconsider there donations in the future.

Had a blast last night!  It will be interesting to see what happens next year, what a great guy to want to give the hunt to someone else, heck of a guy.  I won an elk collaring experience in the near future, almost won the puppy.  I went to get a drink and when I get back to the table my wife is up to 1,600.00 for the puppy!  :yike: Good thing the other bidders kept on bidding, looking forward to next year.  Some of the bidding items went for really good prices this year.  Thanks to all the guys and gal at our table for a great night.  See ya next year!

This is what you actually looked like when you found out the bid  :yike:  heh heh. I think it was $5000 for the puppy last year.  :yike:  :yike:

You could have heard a pin drop at that point.  Also the guy whose name was drawn first is gonna be kicking himself in the ass over not attending the show.
Didn't you have to be in the building to put your name in the drawing? I know when I checked in they then put my name in the barrel, so, was the guy out getting a drink or something?  I can't imagine not being in the room when the drawing was taking place, that did not work out well for him.
Every life members name was in the tumbler.  At the WWSF booth you can request to see your name dropped the in tumbler, because a lot of people like that. Prior to the drawing the remainder of the cards go in the tumbler.  That way there are no mistakes.  Certainly a bummer for the gentleman who was drawn first and was not there.


I don't get this part. Everything I've read said you have to be there to be in the drawing?  This sounds like every member is in the tumbler.
Good times & look forward to next year.  :tup:

Every life member's name is in the tumbler but you must be present to win. So my buddy who was unable to come had the same chance of having his name drawn as me.  The difference is if his name was drawn he could not win because he was not there. We then draw again and if necessary keep drawing until we get to a name that is present. National WSF draws their 1 more for 4 drawing the same way.  Two years ago they went through 6 names before getting to some one that was present.

Also I would have been able to give my buddy a hard time for the rest of his life which would have been really fun for me :chuckle:

It was another great night for Washington's wild sheep in so many ways!  Venue sold out more than 3 weeks ahead, record net from the live auction, record raffle sales, every live/silent/raffle prize was fully underwritten by our great sponsors and members.  Next year should be equally as exciting as we have our own "<1" drawing for a sheep hunt for a first time sheep hunter.  Thanks to all that attended and supported the cause.  WE GET IT!

I attended the sheep show for the first time this year and was impressed. I have been to quite a few banquets and this one was top notch. Good to meet up with a few huntwa guys and enjoy the show and looking forward to next year. My wife hasn't noticed my $500 hat yet!!
