I've been asked to help the Rocky Boys Indian Reservation with a raffle they are holding for one elk tag for a non-tribal member. The tag is good for an archery hunt on the reservation during the September rut. They Rocky Boy Reservation is in northern Montana, bordering unit 690, which is one of the top trophy elk units in the state. It is east of the town of Box Elder, and south of Havre. I bowhunted elk one time on the reservation, and saw one of the three biggest bulls I've ever seen in my life, easily a 390 class bull and I think he was bigger than that. I also called in a 6x7 bull that I thought would score well into the 360s that my hunting partner missed with his bow. I've also hunted whitetails on this reservation four different years, and seen 150?+ bucks each time, with some being much bigger. The reservation does have some excellent trophy hunting.
The tribe has donated one non-tribal member tag to the reservation?s archery club to raffle off to raise funds for new archery equipment for tribal youth and to purchase new 3D targets for the club. Normally, a non-tribal member elk tag sells for $3,500.00 plus the cost of guiding by a tribal member, and they only allow a few per year.
These tickets are $20.00 each, or six for $100.00. The archery elk tag includes three days of guiding by a tribal guide, and extra days can be added at the hunters cost, which runs about $180.00 or so per day. The tribal member I've always hunted with has killed a number of bulls in the 320-360 range on the reservation. The deadline until the drawing is short, as I have to mail the tickets back to the reservation at the end of next week, so if you're interested send me a check right away, and I'll get your tickets completed and send the stubs right back to you.
IF INTERESTED, PM ME AND I'LL SEND YOU INFORMATION ON WHO TO MAKE YOUR CHECK OUT TO, AND WHERE TO SEND IT.
The drawing will be held on May 31st, and the winner will be notified by phone and email.
They are not having good success in selling raffle tickets, so I expect the odds of winning this tag to be very good, as raffles go. Feel free to send this around to any of your friends who are interested in archery elk hunting, as I'd like to help the tribe do well on this raffle.
I'm definitely buying some tickets.
