We're just thirty day out from waterfowl season! If that snuck up on you, too be sure to attend the Waterfowl Hunters EXPO on the 27th and get your UTV raffle tickets (drawing at our August 28th Hunter's Eve Bash) so you have a new rig to get you to your blind. |
August also plays host to our Midland Wings banquet and their chapter is raffling off a pretty amazing CZ Sharptail 20ga valued at over $1,100 at their August 25th banquet in West Bend - get your CZ raffle tickets here! And, check out the rest of our class A raffles here.
