Title: Donated prizes for the ICE FISHING CHALLENGE
Post by: DDSBYDAY on November 11/02/11, 09:16:41 AM
  As you know the key to ice fishing is staying warm.  Our member Wildlifeminnesota is donating some gift certificates to help you do just that.   I own one of his coon skin trappers hats and I love it.   Here are the details :happy1:

(4)  $50.00 gift certificates on my custom fur for monthly drawing.(1 for Dec,Jan,Feb,March)                                                                                                                                            (1)  $50.00 gift certificate on my custom fur for the last fish to get posted that is an  upgrade for your team that has the judges ok.
This will get it interesting!!! Who will hold out to the last minute???  

All gift certificates have to be used on fur sales. You can use you own hides for a lower price,

So if you want a trapper hat at 250.00 -50.00 you would pay 200.00 + tax and shipping
If use your tanned hides  and the price was 160.00 -50.00 would leave 110.00 + tax and shipping,
You have one year from the date on the certificate  to use them.  

   Good Luck!!!   :happy1: :happy1:

    We have a couple of prizes to be passed out still.  I believe we have two gift certificates from Wildlife and the one night sleeper rental from Cookie.  I will be doing the drawings tomorrow.  Everyone that posted a fish will be in the drawing.

    For Cookies prize I will be dealing each person 5 cards.  It will be a game of 5 card stud.  Each persons hand will come from a full deck.  High hand takes the prize.  I have to find a deck of cards.   :doah:  The cards will be shuffled after each hand.  Good luck everyone and thank you for your participation.   :Clap:    Winners will be posted here.

   Glenn you came in with a pair of 8's but it wasn't enough to knock of the Winner of the sleeper pachage on Upper Red Lake.   That prize goes to Icebanger.  His 2 pair held up to win the game.  Outdoorsman388 was one card away from a flush.

     :Clap: Congratulations  "Icebanger" :Clap:   You won a nice prize donated by cookie.

Nice job on the contest grand prize winner DDS. I'm glad it's over though. I was sweating it out till the end to see who won the grand prize. Way to much tension there.
