Your odds are a little better than they could have been. Lol.  I stayed out of it.   Good luck Bush.

Thanks Bone!

There were some sizable last minute jumps in a few of the raffles.

Besides the ones I added on Friday before hitting the trailhead (and I'm glad I did!) it looks like 284 additional goat tickets were bought between Thursday morning and the Friday deadline.  I'm sitting at a shade over 65% right now.  Less than what I was initially hoping for, but it's better than a coin toss I suppose.  ;)

Fingers crossed...back to work.

I'm pulling for you, way to go all in on the hunt you've been dreaming of.  Hope you get it.  No competition from me in that category.

Ok, I'm not the smartest guy so bear with me, so if you have over 60% chance I'm guessing you bought over 60% of the tickets?

That is some serious coin and quite the gamble.  I hope it works out for you.  Looking at past results I am sure you are a little nervous.

A good cause that saw a drastic increase in sales over last year.  I don't know if that is due to more expendable income this year, if this thread caused the increase in sales or if sales were normal and only bumped by Bushcraft's early dump of money into the mix.  Whatever the reason in the end someone is going to get a great hunt and the money generated will hopefully go to good use.

Word on the street is that the winner has been notified.  Can't confirm it, but that is the "word"

I don't think the street word is accurate.

The Wild Sheep Foundation drawing for the Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep was July 15.
But still no way to check numbers for the other tags for 2016.

I have friends who know a couple folks who pulled raffle tags this year. They were called.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
