It would be nice to have an idea of what those 5 options actually cost. Raffles like this always frustrate me...why not just raffle 1 of the hunts complete cost and then if a guy wants to change it up its between him and the outfitter.

The first 5 options are the prizes worth $10k each... OR use the $10K credit towards a combo hunt where you pay an upgrade fee.

You have 5 options...PLUS the option of using the win towards a credit, so it appeals to more people with knowing what’s available through the draw.

I think it’s an awesome opportunity.

To me, when it says a credit of $10,000, it implies that the hunt will actually cost more. When I went to the outfitters website the the prices looked more in the neighborhood of $15,000. But I'll admit I didn't find the website easy to navigate. If that is the cost of the full hunt for those 5 options I was just misunderstanding what is being offered. That makes a whole lot more sense. Thanks Lefty

Let me ask for clarification I don’t want to steer you wrong! That’s how I read it, but I might be wrong

Edit**
Confirmed the draw will include winners choice of the first 5 options or $10K credit towards another hunt if a guy wants to upgrade the package. Travel to and from location is on the winners dime.

Just to correct one thing, the bull moose rut hunt is during an archery season, but the area is rifle hunted from either Aug 23 or Sept 1 to Sept 31 and starts again Oct 15-30. There is an archery season Oct 1-15. And the bull moose has to be a 2/3/10 bull. One side has to either have two points on one side, at least three on one brow or a total of 10 points on one side.

It's beautiful country and there is animals there! Some great fishing as well.

Cheers
