My thanks to Andy Kelso of Washington for doing all the typing on the below. He posted it on another board, so I just did a cut and paste (& a little editing)...


Here is a members only raffle from Washington Chapter of the Foundation for North American Wild Sheep (WA FNAWS) that will likely have much better odds because of the small membership and there is no age limit. I had to modify the form to get it on here but it will work. Because of problems with updating www.WAFNAWS.com it is not on the websight currently.
