Bowsiters have been a huge support in the past. This year 350 tickets will be sold and hopefully another Bowsiter will win! Thanks Pat for allowing us to post this.

Ron and Midwest thanks for getting this on and the link posted. Bowsite has been very good to us in the past and I hope another Bowsiter wins this year. Good luck!!

If I remember correctly from last year, if you have a WY tag from the regular draw and win this tag, you can hunt both tags and kill two bulls in WY, correct?

Might as well be a "LOSER" for the fourth straight year :( At least it's a worthy cause.
From: midwest

That's correct, Ike.

The conversion of Canadian $ to US $ would kill me if I won, but that would be a good problem to have. Thanks for sharing the link.

Thinking of buying a ticket just not sure what unit to choose for bow elk. What areas are best in state for diy ,good access,wilderness or not.Fred
From: IdyllwildArcher
22-Jan-16
Get the tag, then worry about the unit.
From: Royboy
22-Jan-16
The fine print says you have to designate area at time of application
From: IdyllwildArcher
23-Jan-16
It does say that, but when you buy a raffle, it doesn't ask you for a unit.
Try it. If you can find a place to enter a unit number, PM me and I'll give you some good options.

If a Bowsiter wins, we'll be happy to recommend a hunt/unit to fit your needs.
From: midwest

Ron, If I win, can I just get a Gen tag and hunt with you in the grizz infested country around Cody? The education would be far more valuable to me than the LE tag. :)
From: Ron Niziolek
26-Jan-16
Nick, probably - but we'd need to have a footrace first to see if I'm faster than you or not:) Makes a big difference when choosing a hunting partner!

I'm in, trying to make it 4 LE tags in four years in WY! That might be playing hog if I win though...
Also renewed my membership to BOW when I bought my tickets.

We will also have another tag that will probably sell on e-bay if someone has deeper pockets that the $50 raffle tickets. We only get to keep 50% of the proceeds from that tag but those funds will be used for the same purposes as this tag. Thanks again.
From: Mule Power

Let us know when that listing is up and running on eBay please.

I assume you all will be selling tickets at the banquet right up to the drawing this Saturday night. What is the cut off for the rest of us ordering off the website?
Is it sold out yet?
From: LONEBULL
15-Feb-16
I haven't talked to the treasurer for a while but I'm sure there are quite a few tickets left. Like anything in the world people wait until the last minute and so we sell quite a few the week before banquet time and yes right up until the draw at the banquet. Last year was the first time we've sold out on tickets. You can purchase tickets on the web site up to a couple of days before the banquet, you might not see your ticket back to your address but you can be assured they get in the bucket. I think last year our treasurer was even doing phone in orders before the banquet but I wouldn't rely on that as an option. You've got a month to purchase them now before the banquet so there's plenty of time. Thanks and good luck.

This is my first gig as a guest speaker and I'm looking forward to it. This raffle has put a lot of dollars on the ground for wildlife and bowsite has been a huge part of that effort!

A bump for those whom WYO G&F will be sending a refund. Spend a little of that refund. You still have a chance. And your chances are better than this guy!

Good luck to everyone in the raffle!
Won one of these tags last year but didn't have much time to take advantage of it. Finally got some time late in the season and ended up with a nice bull.
In the raffle this year and would love to have one of those tags again with a lot more time on my hands to get in shape, scout and hunt. Probably not going to get struck by lightning twice tho!!

I actually felt fine the next day. I have no clue how. Maybe I was still feeling it when I woke up and I did pound the water. Never got to the hangover state lol.
