Welcome friends to our 34th annual Dane County Pheasants Forever Banquet. Our organization continues to change to better serve our role as “the habitat organization” by sponsoring local habitat restoration projects. We partner with other organizations to create additional public hunting opportunities, as well as introducing youth and those with disabilities to the outdoors. We have worked hard to continue our tradition of hosting the finest wildlife banquet in the area and are confident you will have an enjoyable time supporting your local chapter. If you like to win guns, then you won’t want to miss this banquet. Over 35 quality guns will be raffled off, along with other great prizes. Be sure to check out this year’s art print of the year by artist Scot Storm titled “Grassy Haven” – it’s beautiful.

This year’s live auction will feature a rare bottle of Rip Van Winkle Special Reserve 12-year-old bourbon. The perfect combination of age and proof; flavors of honey, oak and tobacco dance on the pallet. Additionally, if you return your banquet invite by January 15, you will be automatically entered into our “Early Bird” drawing for $500.00. For a complete breakdown of cash prizes, please refer to the “Cash for Habitat Raffle Information” page.

COLOSSAL SHOTGUN AND PHEASANT RETREAT RAFFLE ($5,550 Value)
One luck winner will take home three Premium shotguns and a 20 bird hunt at Cedar Valley Lodge
------Tickets are $20 each, $90 for five (5), or $180 for ten (10)------

The Guns:
Not one, not two, but three! shotguns will walk out the door with one lucky winner! The first is a Browning Maxus II Ultimate 12 gauge, for knocking down those big roosters in the field or busting the clays at the trap and sporting clays clubs. The second is a Franchi Instinct SL 16 gauge, perfect for carrying around the grouse woods of northern Wisconsin, your favorite pheasant field, or your trap club. The third is a beautiful CZ Supreme Field 28 gauge, you should see the wood on this gun! Whether it’s birds or clays, imagine these three beauties in your gun safe. Just remember to wipe your envious friend’s slobber off these guns before putting them away!

The Hunt:
Nestled in the wooded hills of Spring Green, Wisconsin, Cedar Valley Preserve is known for its personable, family-oriented atmosphere, and rustic charm, and is a popular retreat for sportsmen. This hunt includes 20 birds in some of the nicest pheasant habitat you will encounter, bird cleaning, and one-night’s lodging for you and up to three of your guests. What a great way to get intimately acquainted with those three shotguns while enjoying a great hunt and evening with family or friends.
