Looking for a gift that keeps on giving? How about Montana Pheasants Forever’s 2-Guns-A-Week raffle. There’s just one month left to purchase tickets for the raffle which offers a chance at winning 104 firearms in 2010 and supports Pheasants Forever’s wildlife habitat mission in Big Sky Country.
Tickets for the raffle, which is being supported by Don’s in Lewistown, are on sale now for $50 each. A maximum of 3,000 tickets will be sold, or one gun for every 29 tickets sold, and 100 percent of the proceeds will support Pheasants Forever’s conservation efforts in Montana. The impressive gun list, valued at approximately $70,000, includes firearms by Weatherby, Benelli, Browning, Remington, Ruger and more retailing in the $700 to $1,500 range. Winning ticket numbers will be placed back into the pool of tickets, so by purchasing just one ticket, you’ll have a chance for all 104 firearms!
Tickets for the Montana Pheasants Forever 2-Guns-A-Week raffle are available through your local Montana Pheasants Forever chapter or by sending $50 per ticket (payable to Pheasants Forever) to P.O. Box 2157, Missoula, MT 59806. For questions regarding the raffle, contact Jon Lee at (406)721-9919 or via e-mail Jon@MontanaPF.org.

Each week starting January 4, 2010, there will be two gun drawings for the Montana 2-Guns-A-Week raffle. Winners will be posted the Monday of each week at www.MontanaPF.org. Proceeds will support Pheasants Forever programs, including wildlife habitat development, land acquisitions and youth and education programs.
“We’re excited to give folks a chance at 104 guns in 52 weeks, a raffle ticket at the cost of just 48 cents per week,” said Jon Lee, Pheasants Forever National Board member and a longtime Montana Pheasants Forever supporter, “But we’re even more excited to see their support for wildlife habitat in this state. The success of the first raffle is due solely to those who are committed to benefitting upland birds and other wildlife in this state, and that support has created another fun opportunity.”
Since the first Montana chapter of Pheasants Forever formed in 1987, the state’s 18 chapters and 2,000 members have raised and spent over $2.3 million to complete over 950 habitat projects, conserving, restoring and enhancing over 32,500 Montana acres for pheasants and other wildlife.
