For the first time in my life I can say I won a raffle! I was sitting with my buddy Travis of freedom whitetails at his booth at the Kevin grace sale last Friday and a man named Travis (can't think of last name at the moment) stopped by the booth and ask us if we wanted any tickets for a chance to win a choice yearling buck off Bentley's whitetails in KY. The tickets were $20 a chance or (if I remember correctly) 3 for $50 or 7 for $100. I bought a single chance, to be honest I stuck the stub in my wallet and forgot I even bought it within 5 minutes of him leaving the booth as I figured just like every other time I buy tickets for anything I would just lose anyway. However I was honored to buy because I can never turn down another hardworking deer farmer request for support.
While the name was to be drawn at the end of the auction, but Travis and I had a four hour drive ahead of us and we skipped out early when it was down to the last 30 lots or so. While then my phone rings on the drive home, not reconizing the number I hoped it was a shooter buyer calling me back. Boy was I ever surprised and excited to get the news that I was the lucky winner of the yearling!
I don't know if Travis, or Randell from Bentley whitetails get on here at all, but again thanks guys! I am truely grateful to be the winner.
I got the pictures of the yearlings this week and now I get my choice. These are some seriously nice choices, I am honored to pick one of these boys. I don't know pedigrees yet, and to be honest I don't care, look what's on their heads already!
Just for fun guys, please let me know your favorite. I only get one choice but I feel I will be fine with any of these four, I may even bred my choice to a few does once I see the pedigree's. Here are the four I narrowed it down to.
