Anybody going to the deer banquet in Chico this Saturday.

Yup, I'll have a table. Should be fun with lots of entertainment for all.

I know that there is coues deer hunt in Mexico that I donated. I am coming from Az to check out this banquet. Heard it is a good one.

Besides the coues hunt, there will be a Santa Rosa Island (Kaibab) deer hunt, one of the 5 CA GOV deer tags, and several other tags. I expect the Santa Rosa and the GOV tag will go for a healthy sum. Bring your wallets full or cash or credit cards. The bar will have the NCAA tourney games going if you get bored with the entertainment. HAHA

Hey I was never told about no ticket gals. I might have to re-think this coues donation.

I don't know if anyone here went to the Redding banquet about 6 years ago.....The ticket women were hookers. No BS. These babes had cannons for racks! One of the gals actually was asked to leave because she kept showing..should I say "Beaver". I've never seen so many pontoons and gorilla racks in my life. As a side note, that night broke the all time record for alcohol consumption and ticket sales!

I remember that! Wasn't it great!! Like going to the strip club, and raffling off guns at the same time. Should have seen all the wives and girlfriends though!! Like old wet hens. The Redding dinner has gone downhill in my opinion.....not enough guns and way too many tickets if you like the raffle. Last year the ticket bin was as big as a 55 gal. drum and so full of tickets that it wouldn't even mix them.

The economy must be good with the prices people paid on the auction items.

theridge · Mar 20, 2006

28K for the Santa Rosa tag!!!! I thought maybe 18 to 20K. We lucked out and won 4 rifles at our table. Drank way too much wine and beer and bought so many raffle tickets that I got writers cramp filling in my dinner ticket number. It was alot of fun as I bet the show netted close to 175K.

What did the GOV tag go for? How about Antelope?

Kilowatt wants to know about the ticket girls! LOL

theridge · Mar 21, 2006

The GOv tag went for 19K. The speed goat.......not sure. I don't remember the speed goat auction unless it was a guided hunt from another state. The girls did a real professional job. Not that kind of job! Yes, they had fake racks kilowatt. The guys over at the PG&E table were going ape over this one gal.

The ranch I hunt in Tehama county had a 3 day hunt that sold for 6000.

theridge,

I'll bet I know some of them, one of them for sure since he lives right there in Durham. LOL
Met one of the ladies back about 5-6 years ago that gave me a class in Computers while I was still working for the job. Best looking teacher I have ever had in all of my schooling.
