Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted March 3, 2006 That thread disapeared?? What happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 3, 2006 The thread disappeared only because someone hijacked the forum for awhile. That's why all the topics are missing in several other categories like the "giveaways" and "optics and other gear" topics. However, the raffle for the Coues hunt in Mexico was cancelled due to gambling laws in the US. I had posted that we cancelled it a few days ago and refunded the money. Sorry for the bad news. But we have to be a nonprofit to do a raffle. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bobbyo Report post Posted March 3, 2006 Why not have the raffle in Mexico. I am not trying to be a smart alec. We could send the money to a Mexico address. Draw the winner in Mexico. A Mexican deer hunt raffle in Mexico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted March 7, 2006 I will look into the nonprofit thing. I think if I did that I would have to have a board of directors and it might be a lot more work than it is now. But maybe I am wrong about that. As far as having the raffle in Mexico. It might work. Again, it just adds more difficulty to it all and might not even work around the laws.

KGAINES Report post Posted March 7, 2006 Amanda no matter what do what is best for you and coueswhitetail.com, the raffle can wait, there is no need to get into trouble with the law. Good Luck and God Bless. One quick thing, I would pay to be a member of coueswhitetail.com, and are there any differences to private membership type clubs or groups.

desertsheep Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Everybody, Thanks for the great response to the raffle. Amanda and I are still trying to figure out how to get this thing done. I was really exicted to do this and take a guy or gal down there that doesn't normally get the chance to go. Mexico I think is still where you have the best chance to harvest a B&C buck. They are still going to kill good bucks on the state land and the reservation. But your chance's increase a ton by going south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
