Some guys have all the luck....

[luvtoride]

Well, I am always extremely lucky at raffles. I don't know what it is about me, I never by a ton of tickets, I just always win.

Last year at a Minnesota Deer Hunters Association banquet, I won a Weatherby .300, and a Browning BPS 12 gauge.

Well....how do I top that?

These three! There were 200 people at the banquet, and 20 guns. I won three of them!

left to right, NEF 20 gauge single shot break action ($200); Henry 30-30 ($600) I'm not sure the significance of the 30-30, apparently its a re-make of the classic model, that's why the price tag was as it was. And, last but not least......a Mossberg Tactical Turkey! 3.5" 12 gauge! ($600 I was told, but I didn't look into it)

Hearing my named called for the 20 gauge in the general raffle (roughly 1/150) was awesome!
Then, they sold cards for the Henry. For $20, you buy a playing card, they tear it in half, you keep half and they throw the other in a bucket. Every card sold, so that was a 1/52.
Then, the bonus ticket drawing was for a choice of guns off a rack. The guy who won in front of me took a CVA .50 cal. My jaw dropped! My ticket was drawn (1/about 200) and I ran up there and grabbed the shotgun. The other choice was a .270 Winchester I believe.

Overall, I have to be the luckiest guy in Northern MN. People spend upwards of $500 on tickets there every year, I spend roughly $100 and won $1400 in guns!

That's a cool idea.

Yea, they did it during one raffle, so everyone was in the banquet room at the time. They sold out really fast.

I won a nightforce scope once and put it on a Marlin .22, people at the range were wondering what a $2100 scope was doing on a Marlin .22 good laughs.

That's some good luck man. Go out and buy a lotto ticket for shnits

We have a squirrel problem with our sled dog food, so I parked my backside in a chair by the shed with the turkey gun in the pic. I didn't have any turkey ammo, but a lot of duck ammo. I don't shoot steel through a full choke, let alone an extra full turkey choke. So I dug and dug and finally came across some old hand loads.

I needed a picture. I was sitting in a little kid camp chair outside a feed shed, with all cammo on and a tactical shotgun. I must have looked AWESOME! Anyways, I love the gun, I made squirrel paste several times. There was NOTHING left. The gun is super light...so my shoulder is a bit purple. Those hand loads were mighty powerful.

I actually traded one of my 870's in for a Mossberg exactly like that. However it is the home defense one....but it is exactly the same....they just put camo on it and called it tactical turkey...LOL

I have one too. Got the front and rear pistol grips and the mag extender, and the extendable stock. Its all black. Slick gun.

The camo and sights separate it from my home defense gun. It came with true glo rifle style sights. I'll take them off for ducks, but for turkey and varmints, they are fun.

Ya I do like those sights for that reason too ... and ya I definitely take them off for flying birds.
