    The Management here on IDO Hunting would like to take the time to inform everyone that raffle for the fall hunt at Bluff Bucks Outfitters will not take place as planned. It’s very disheartening to make this announcement, but in truth, we did not generate enough interest to make this hunt a reality. We fell far short of our goal and we believe even if we were to extend the timeline for the raffle we’d still not sell enough tickets to make this hunt happen.

    All the members who sent in money for the raffle will receive a complete refund.

    It goes without saying, this is not what we’d hoped for and no one is more saddened by canceling this raffle than the people who took the time and energy to set it up.

    If you have any questions please contact a Management Team Member here. We thank those who participated and greatly appreciate your willingness to support IDO.

    That’s too bad. It would have been exciting to go hunting there, but to be honest, I would have tried to trade it for some shed hunting.

    Please do not send me a refund. Use the money to help keep this site running…I know it’s not cheap!

    Same here, use it for site costs Winning the hunt would have been nice, but that’s not really why I wanted to become a sponsor

    Keep mine as well. I never thought I would end up winning and was under the impression from the start that my money would either help pay for a site contributor to go, or go towards keeping this site up and running. I am more than willing to have my small contribution go towards maintaining/running the site. $50 bucks is a small contribution for the amount of time I spend on here. Thanks a ton to all who worked on this drawing, and more importantly to all those who keep this site working and functioning the way it does

    I hope the sponsorship and raffle won’t die because of this year. I sponsored last year and didn’t expect to win either. I just had a lot on my plate this year but would love to do it next year if it is still around.

    I ment to send in some money for the membership, got busy and just plain forgot,I wanted to help out with keeping the site running, not win the hunt. I would have hoped not win the hunt cuz then everyone would hear about how bad i got buck fever and missed.

    Let me know if i can still send in the money for the membership, or i wouldnt mind a nice sticker for the truck, that should be worth the contest fee Keep up the good work with the site guys let me know if I can help at all.
