This is cool, I have to say someone at TransAlta knows how to treat people.  I was impressed  with them back in November when I read they had sent employees and a private helicopter to aid in the search and know this.

I hadnt heard that. Arent alot of companies that would do that these days.

I'll be buying a few tickets. Great cause. Trans Alta does an amazing amount of good will for the local area.

Thanks for the interest. I think Droptine has replied to most of the questions. If there is anyone from out of the area that are interested in tickets, but maybe cannot personally get to one of the local locations, please send a check, made out to Centralia College Foundation, to

TransAlta Generation
913 Big Hanaford Rd.
Centralia, WA 98531
            Attn: Sandy Yanish

With your check, please give your name, phone number, alternate phone number and email address. Sandy will process your check and return your ticket stubs in the mail as verification.

One other tidbit of information, this hunt is transferable, so if you have a youngster just getting into elk hunting or maybe a parent who'd like to have a great elk hunt, these are options.

Thanks again for the support

Thanks for posting this.  I know right where Dave was in the Margaret where this tradegy happened.  I am going to go down to Lacey SW and get some tickets today.  I bet I know who the the Translata guide will be too! Jimmy??? haha

If I rifle hunted Elk I would be all over this, I'm sure it will get tons of positive publicity.. If your not familiar with this area, the equivalent would be hunting on Hanford, except the bulls aren't as big.. However there is probably 1 or 2 300" class bulls floating around in there..  I'm sure the hunt will be a drive around till you find a heard and see a big bull and shoot it type of deal, but it should be a guaranteed kill...  And who ever gets drawn will be accompanied by a Employee, but these employees are generally all *censored* hunters, it will basically be guided in a sense.. The employees love to play guide on these kind of hunts on the property..

  Its awesome they are doing this! What a way to raise funds for a guy who sounds like a great dude and helluva elk hunter. Kudos   Even though I bowhunt I will still be contributing, As has been mentioned before this would be a great youth hunt!

  He was killed on his Margret Elk hunt, he killed an elk and had a diabetic reaction while packing it out and didnt make it.. That is the short version of the story.. Good Egg..

It is a good deal.  We are going to sell by phone up to the day of the draw.  The May draw date is so if you draw the hunt you have time to change your hunting method before the state applications are due.  This will allow someone that hunts with a bow or black powder to change weapons if they draw.  But if you do not draw you still can put in for the state hunts like allways.  There are always a few good bull on the property every year,  I think that if you do not shoot a bull during the hunt it will be because you did not want to kill a bull.  You will see lots of Elk during the weekend!  The Lucky hunter will be guided by some good people from the plant and the mine and you will have a great time.  Buy some ticket and GOOD LUCK.. Thanks'

Hey guys, I am sitting in the sportsman's warehouse parking lot in lacey. They DO NOT have tickets or even know about this yet. Oh well, maybe I will try again in a couple days.

I'll buy a few. I wanted to help find Dave, but it didn't work out.  My soon has never gotten an elk, so this may be an opportunity.  Good cause too.
