Hi all and Happy New Year!
Bowhunters of Wyoming is once again raffling off a Commissioners Tag. This one for 2020. Please see attached flyer for information or ask questions on here. Also please note there are 2nd and 3rd prizes offered.
Once again, thank you to all Bowsiters as you guys are the ones that really make this thing work and allow us to complete many projects for Wyoming's wildlife, habitat and access. Thanks Pat and Charlie for always being supportive of our efforts! Ron

Just thought we would let you know what BOW did with the Commissioner's Tag and other funds last year. First and foremost we have to give credit to Commissioner Mark Anselmi for giving us a tag. Here is a breakdown of last year's projects: Sheep Survival Study in Wyoming Range $5,000.00 Ecology of Male Mule Deer in Western Wyoming $5,000.00 WY Range Mule Deer Severe Winter Recovery-Pinedale $5,000.00 Wildlife Habitat Improvement - Lander $500.00 Paintrock Hunter Mentor Program Archery Support - Worland $700.00 Elk Mountain Bighorn Sheep Sightability $375.00 Two Spot Trace Devices & service plans-Gillette $520.00 Stockade Beaver Creek Conifer Removal II $5,000.00 Wireless Trail Cameras - Jackson $1,845.00 Access Yes $2,650.00 Sheridan Walk-In Areas Ventenata Treatment $5,000.00 Youth Hunting & Fishing Expo $3,325.00 Total $34,915.00 As you can see we donated more money than the 400 tickets brought in. We also had $7,500 from a partnership bison tag in 2018. BOW donated $6,940 of our funds and we had auction items specifically earmarked for the Access Yes and the Youth Hunting & Fishing Expo for $475. This is how we were able to donate $34,915 for projects in Wyoming that benefit all sportsmen, resident and non-resident.
If you can afford $50 for a chance at a elk, deer or antelope license in Wyoming, here is your chance, rest assured it will be put to good use - Mike

205 gone 195 left. If you are sitting on the fence on buying a ticket, you might still be sitting on that fence this fall while someone else is hunting in Wyoming with YOUR tag. Remember the tag is transferable, wouldn't this be a hell of a present for a kid or a friend! ....Mike

So what could be the expectation for size for antelope, deer and elk on a two week DIY trip? With some expert advice from knowledgeable Bowsiter’s, of course :)
From: Ron Niziolek
14-Feb-20
Rod, just so you're aware, the tag is for your choice of deer, elk OR antelope, not all three. Just hit up one of us BOW members for recommendations when you win:)
From: Reggiezpop

Thanks, Brian. Email located!

Ambush, let’s make a deal, when you win I’ll take that tag for an elk hunt. And then you and I can whack up my 12 antelope points and have a really good lope hunt. Win-Win! Don’t waste that tag on a dirty old antelope ;)
And notice the confidence in which I state that with, because I know you are gonna win! ;)
—Jim
From: Ambush
15-Feb-20
^^^ I’m saving a screen shot of that deal Jim. With the amount of animals you kill, that may be my best bet!!!
Though I shouldn’t trade you the tag for a Sitka hunt according to a guy from Iowa that wants to remain nameless.

Rgiesey - 15-Feb-20 said "Just got an email that we’ve sold 252 tickets"
How did you have an email on Feb. 15 stating that 252 were sold... when I bought a ticket yesterday (Feb. 18) saying I was 253? There were a lot of guys saying they just bought one or two tickets between your post and me buying mine yesterday. Seems odd...

We put this on the bowsite less than two weeks ago so thanks Pat and Charlie. There also is probably members holding cash sales so we’ll get them all combined as we count down to 400. What a great chunk of cash to contribute to game management. Plus one of us gets a great tag.
