The Brooks Range is the one place in Alaska that I wanted to see that I have not. Thanks ABA, that is an awesome prize.

Shug, if you win, they can probably provide you with a packer that can stuff you in his backpack and get you up there! Damn what an awesome story that would be!
But I’m gonna put in so you may be sitting at home wishing you were there!!!

Tried 5 times as a resident to kill one with my longbow. Close several times but never released and arrow. It's great country. The rock in the Brooks is some of the oldest and should never be trusted. Has some great shale slides! I went down about 1,000 feet on one. Each step took me about 20 vertical feet.
Bring a few rubber blunts for the ptarmigan.

Good luck everyone! Membership isn’t required for entry (although greatly appreciated). I simply put that question on there to gauge how much interest in raffles we have among members vs non members.
Hope a Bowsiter wins!

From: Treeline

Already have that magic ticket but may get another one just to help out the club…

From: TEmbry

Rackmastr is in!
We are currently at 168 tickets sold out of 350 less than a week into it. I doubt this one lasts very long, but the drawing will remain live in person at our annual banquet April 2nd (need not be present to win).
If you are from Canada and having trouble submitting payment for a ticket message me directly and I’ll find an alternative way to get you entered. Thanks everyone.

Might be a dumb question, but I'm assuming the outfitter is setup to accommodate a bowhunter? I don't see anything on the website.

I entered - an Arkansas guy getting a chance at a Dall Sheep hunt and sending the $$ to a good cause ... win / win !!
From: caribou77
13-Jan-22
Just so everyone knows I talked with the outfitter. It would be no problem to bring a companion if you’d like. And the cost for that would be 2500$. AND I’ll gladly tag along with the winner for that…. I bring good luck and would even pack the Golden Horseshoe for you :)

Sorry everyone for the delay, the winner was from Wisconsin, an ABA member told his father in law to buy a ticket so he did and he won!
I’m sure we will get something else together soon, so stay tuned.
Thanks a lot for all of the support, it’s very much appreciated.

Sorry I missed posting the winners name here after the banquet. Craig Raschein from Wisconsin won, we tried calling him live from the banquet but he didn't want to wake up at 1am his time for the good news! lol
Thanks to all who participated and thanks to Pat for partnering with us to help promote this raffle and the ABA here on Bowsite. Not sure if we will do another raffle this calendar year or not, but the moment we do you guys will be the first to know. We will definitely do one starting every January to be drawn at our banquet moving forward.
