I thought that the NWTF got the tag to auction off and the Elk FOundation was in a tiff about it?
Was reading something about it in my Pa Outdoor News

Yea, they got $5400 for selling the tag. Why can't we have an auction like that. Perhaps a hunt in Texas or Wyoming etc.

Funny you said that BP.  I just e mailed Tom P on that same idea. Here is what i'm thinking. Sell 200 tickets at $10.00 a piece= $2000.00
$1000.00 goes to PPHA and $1000 goes to me and for winner. It works like this. The winner gets 5 to 6 days hunting in Wyoming with me and his airfare is paid for. No license is required in Wyoming to hunt coyotes. I will do all the calling and driving from the airport. I know Wyoming well and WINNER will see alot of coyotes. Average airfare is about $425.00 and I will also need to rent a 4x4 SUV $600 wk.. I am loosing in the deal but its for PPHA. I also have some decent places to stay were i hunt. They will see wide horses, mule deer and antelope. Beautiful country  IDEAS?

All hunting would be during daylight hours and hunter would need to be certain age. Only one hunter allowed for this trip. $100 per day for another hunter just to cover my expenses.

I put up a Fully guided Maine bear hunt that was offered to me ....cost for 1 person to go on the hunt $0 for the PPHA.
Tickets could be sold between now and July with the winner being drawn at the Expo

I did make mention that not many people like to go out of state by themselves and thought about purchasing another hunt from the guide if we would purchase the second hunt for approx $1400 that would be an all inclusive (minus travel expense and hunting license fees) hunt for 2 at active bait stations in Maine. Thats food, lodging baited bear stands and a guide.
Last I heard we were waiting on a small games of chance license.....I offered it about a month ago.
BTW he has 100% shot opportunity. With a very high success rate. I believe he has about 52 baited stands.

Thats 30 days of selling tickets already missed out.
Like you said $10 a ticket.....we should be able to sell a few hundred tickets.
My thought was have 1000 tickets printed sell as many as possible and see how it makes out.
I even offered to head it and get everything rolling by having tickets printed up....but as I said...last I heard, still waiting on the SGC?

  Lifes2fun Great idea but as you said we are getting to close to bear season in Maine. Good idea though.

I have 2.5 million acres to hunt on in Wyoming. This could be a good father and son trip. They must have camo, facenet etc to hunt these areas.  Wide open country and no trees. Small caliber rifle suggested. 223, 22-250,243 I can call them in but they must do whats needed when there in.
