There are always some great outfitters there to chat with also.

Sounds like something to see, might consider taking the family and staying for the weekend.  Thanks for the notice.

I can never resist the wall of guns raffle.  Who wouldn't want a new rifle?

Will the laser shot be back this year?

[wa.hunter]

The Laser Shot game will be there and hi score will again split the pot.

Probably wont buy much at auction with the new home purchase. A raffle sounds more like my kinda money right now 

But fun to watch 

If you're going to go, let me know.

Just curious...does anyone know how much the goat hunt usually goes for at the convention? I really appreciate the info. I'm looking forward to going...this will be my first year.

[jackelope]

I want to say +/- $7500 the last couple years....could be wrong. Wa.hunter will know for sure if he chimes in.

I was wrong I think. I could find 2008 and 2009. $13,500 in '08 and $8500 in '09.

Looks like they'll sell the moose, goat, whitetail and blacktail auction tags at the convention this year. Should be fun to watch!

[backcountrybow]

I appreciate it man! I really want that goat tag!! : )

[ramslam]

It is a good time for sure so I hope to see everyone there!

According to friday night under "wall of guns raffle" it says winners must be present.

Doesnt say it on Saturday, so not sure if its a typo or the 'rules' change for Saturday.

Usually the goat tag has like previously state ran from $7500-$13,500 you just never know. Always take's 2 people that want it, with the economy the way it is who knows.

As for purchasing raffle tickets we are open to the public from 10am -3pm for a $5 entry, to look things over and visit with exhibitors. If you purchase raffle tickets and put your name and phone # on them we would honor that and you would not have to be present to win.
