Default Did you get in on the ABA cougar hunt raffle?

Just got an email newsletter from the ABA talking about there fundraiser raffle this year. I guess it was a cougar hunt that sold out in 4 days. There was only 100 tickets so who ever got in has pretty good odds. Anyone on here get there tickets?

On a related note the news letter said that a lot of the executive was up for election this year, so I guess now is your chance if your interested.

It sounds like it was sold out before it really got a chance to be advertised. The newsletter did say that they would be doing it agin next year.

Im thinking 200 tickets would sell out also...or two draws of 100 tickets each...

Would have bought tickets on both...

Yes it will be done again. We had tried raffling hunts in the past and it wasn't all that succesfull and the gear raffles in the last few years we're of mediocore success. Very surprised at the 4 day sell out. It's good news though.

Many more raffles at the banquest on March 21st as well.
