I have mentioned this poll in our Norwegian site sluttstykke.com, and I think members from other coutries should do the same, in order to ensure that enough members sign up for it to happen

I would just be great if some newbie got the hunt and never posted anything about it I think that there should be a minimum of posts or that members should have been a member of AR for a given time period. Lets try to keep in the Family.
I' ve just signed in to the AR forum, but that dosen't mean that I haven't been here before. I have often been here searching for valueable information.(for me that is). I haven't register and post anything mostly because I felt I had nothing worth shearing. And if you guys don't make a lot selfish rules, I like a couple of tickets.

My point was that I know allot of friends that would love to get some tickets and have a chance at a nice trip to Africa. But I also know that they would never post and tell you about how the hunt was and what caliber they used etc. etc.
As soon as I know the details for getting tickets I will buy some. The number I buy will be determined by how much I've spent lately. I wouldn't order too many today because I ordered 12 boxes of bullets and 8 lbs of gunpowder this morning. But, next month ..........?

The response to this point would indicate that not enough members are interested to pursue the Raffle. 200 plus entries are way short of what's needed to get this going. If non-members were allowed, and members pushed the Raffle to anyone interested, it might be a different story. We are not going to get too far into this, unless it can be shown that all entries can be sold.

You would only get the three entry person to buy one entry. At $115.00 per entry, you would eliminate the folks who participate simply because it's a good deal.

Jeffreydenmark, just for the record. I sent a PM to the organizers of this raffle and asked if they wanted me to post the news about this raffle on our Norwegian forum, and they said please go ahead, we need more participants. It is not something I would do without permission. The idea of a lottery is that it is lady luck who decides the winner, not worthyness, # of posts on AR... As I have previously stated that I would be up for 3 tickets at $35, I would want one for $100. That is, if I am allowed to enter this raffle at all.
I agree, we should get both written and video records of this hunt. Could be the clearly stated obligation of the observer? When I win, you can be the observer Jeffrey We are going to have a sweeeeet time!
IF IT helps me get the HUNT, I will guarantee every member who participates in the drawing gets, a piece of the hide AND their own copy of the pictures taken
further I will wax eloquently for the board here at AR with a complete journal account of the trip from the moment the feet hit the outbound aircraft until the feet hit back on the soil of the good old US of A.
I will be in for at least 2 if $100 each, it just makes the odds better if only a couple of hundred tickets sold.
NEVER fear the night. Fear what hunts IN the night.

Actually, the odds does not get better. If you buy 3 tickets out of 600, or 1 of 200, your chance of winning is exactly the same... I just hope a ticket price of 100 will keep people from signing up, there is still a loooong way to to to make this happen. Not enough people interested, at least yet.
