Chances high enough to price out a bunch of people, which is pretty much what I expected. Oh well. Anything with "Fox" attached to it is going to fetch a premium. Seems like they'd make a single chance a little more affordable. Even if it meant selling a few more tickets (Yes, I realize the "importance" of the ticket numbers).

I bought a few.  I never win these things, but I look at it as a donation to turkeys, and maybe I get lucky.

That's the point! This money is going straight to research, and some lucky turkey hunter is going to end up with an awesome gun! We can use all the support that you folks can send and I can assure you that every penny is going straight towards trying to make more turkeys.

Pretty awesome thing from a great organization that's really getting going and putting all of the money where their mouth is.  It's a $50 donation, 100% of which goes straight to turkey research.  Well worth it imo and although I'm sure I won't win, I'm happy to have the chance and make a donation to a worthwhile organization.

There are still several hundred tickets available! How have these not sold out, but the fancy Mr. Fox vest did multiple times? All of this money is going back to turkeys and turkey research! Go get yourself a ticket and put your money where your mouth is!

For everyone who bought a Mr Fox Vest a portion of the sales went to conservation of the wild turkeys including if you bought any of the call sets and Apex Mr Fox Ammo box.. So i think all of these people have already made a donation..  IMO....  Including myself ...  So again it's up to each individual if they want to buy a gun raffle ticket ...

I'm in.  Thanks for posting this.  I'd absolutely love to win that gun, but even if I don't, I know the money is going to help the future of turkeys and turkey hunters. 

I know what my chances would be if I didn't enter...

A portion(after some went to China, some went to Mossy Oak, etc). Versus ALL proceeds.

Not nocking Mossy Oak because they do a lot of good, but every penny of proceeds from this raffle is going to turkeys. I'm sure everyone could buy one less box call or a couple less pot calls this year and support the bird that we're at this forum for.

Now I'm confused.
It's no secret that every penny going to NWTF doesn't go to turkeys.
But you're telling me that every penny of this auction goes to turkeys and not NWTF?

Every penny of this money will go directly towards research through Mossy Oak's Gamekeepers Grants program. NWTF is not involved in this in any way. This money will be sent directly to leading researchers to fund research projects. There is zero overhead involved in the Lowcountry Game Bird Foundation, we are just passionate Turkey hunters trying our best to give back to the bird that we love to chase.
