Update:

Note for 5A: While it is great to see the value increase beyond retail direct from Black Ovis, the retail value is clear in the donation as $40 "Ovis Retail Value". I've shared this with the recent bidder for $65 and he requests his bid honored at $65 + shipping (As a Colorado Resident) for the purpose of this auction.

So, let it be noted going forward - Great auction spirit for the purpose to raise funds for "Wildlife Deserve Better". Any bids beyond do so for this purpose. The items are as advertised on the auction page as quoted below:



Second note:

I've had two great late offers for auction donations. If we receive another three items to total FIVE ADDITIONAL Hunt Talk member donations, we'll incorporate them into this auction's bid as a last day, knocking on $3,000 finale!

Anyone with donation items, **PM @Sytes with picture of the item(s), Average retail value, and whether you would like a Reserve placed.

This auction is fund raiser to fight the cat ban - Not an auction for bargains.

Come on people - throw some money at these items!!
I don't look at my $65 bid on 5A as overpaying for a $40 item. In all reality if I win, I am buying some game bags as a gift for someone and only donating $25.

Thank you Black Ovis and all of the other sponsers for donating these items to battle the Cat Ban Issue.
Whether you bid beyond the original value - The greater issue is the money is going to fight the Cat Ban!

Keep bidding!!!

Thank you Black Ovis and all of the other sponsers for donating...

Aside from the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, every one of these donations are directly from Hunt Talk members and Randy Newberg for a great cause. That makes this even more powerful when members willfully donate their items of value and receive the satisfaction they are the catalyst for donating $3,200+ to Wildlife Deserve Better. The Black Ovis game bags you're bid is used in support of "Wildlife Deserves Better" is donated directly from Hunt Talk member, @marksjeep , a resident of Colorado as well.

Pretty cool.

A romantic appeal to designs and colors that reflect the classic feel old yet packed with performance features that will assure you’ll never lose that fish of a lifetime.”
