Banquet Information

Welcome, friends, to our 35th annual Dane County Pheasants Forever Banquet. Our organization continues to change in order to better serve our role as “the habitat organization” by sponsoring local habitat restoration projects. 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 25 quality guns will be raffled off, along with other great prizes. Be sure to check out this year’s art print of the year “Pheasant Charcoal" by Joel Pilcher– it’s beautiful.

This year’s live auction will feature an exquisite private wild game dinner for up to 8 people at Bistro 101 in Mount Horeb.   You and your party will enjoy gourmet multicourse dinner with complimentary bourbon pairing.  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.

GRAND PRIZE COLOSSAL SHOTGUNS & PHEASANT RETREAT RAFFLE - One Winner Takes All!

The Guns:

Not one, not two, but three! beautiful case colored CZ Sharptail Side x Side shotguns will walk out the door with one lucky winner! The first is a 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 20 gauge, perfect for carrying around the grouse woods of northern Wisconsin, your favorite pheasant field, or your trap club. The third is a beautiful .410 gauge! 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 30 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.
