PBS Bow Raffle For Youth Bowhunt

[Bowmania]

When entering a raffle, the first thing to contemplate is the organization running the raffle.  Professional Bowhunters Society is a fraternal organization with the same high moral and ethical values as contributors to this site.  The second thing to contemplate and probably most important is the “cause” that will benefit from the proceeds.  These proceeds will go to the NUMBER ONE problem facing the continuation of bowhunting – lack of young hunters.  These dollars will be spent on the Young Bowhunters Program and the Youth leadership Hunt.
 
Do I look at raffles in this manner?  H-NO!!!  I want to see what I can win!!!  And that’s a pretty good list of donors.  PLEASE TAKE A SPECIAL LOOK AT THESE DONORS AND SUPPORT THEM IN ANY WAY YOU CAN.  THEY ARE DONATING THEIR TIME AND MONEY FOR THIS SPECIAL CAUSE.  SOME ARE OLD STANDBYS, BUT OTHERS ARE NEWER TO THE COMMUNITY AND I THINK BODES WELL FOR OUR FUTURE.   MY HAT IS OFF TO THEM!!!

Hey Todd!  Where the heck is New Berlin, Wisconsin?

For a rough estimation, Ojibwa Bowhunters is located about ~15 miles due West of downtown Milwaukee and about ~2.5 miles south of Interstate 94.

Warning!! Don't camp to close to Kevins camper!    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.......all night long.

I think I'll be camping also.....Do I need to charge up my battery?

Most of the bows in this raffle are to be ordered from the bowyer at your specs.  One that is not is the Great Northern.  I received it in the mail today and all I can say is, "WOW!"

Osage 62 inch and 54 at 28.  I'll try to post pics later, but I'm having a busy week.  Trying to get out trout fishing with a college bud.  We used to fish together every weekend from March to July 1st.  Last year I didn't fish at all and I haven't been fishing with him in 5ish years.

Kevin, come early and no problem on camping, but sites are limited.  If you have a problem look me up.

[Kevin Bahr]

Kevin, you must have heard my bro snoring, couldn't have been me...(could it?).  No worries, we will be camping at the motel.  Looking forward to seeing you again!

[Bear]
