Thanks Sharon...I have also posted this link on OOD

A night at the Albion is an early bird prize!

Gourmet food, fun and a free Hullett membership is included as well!

Hullett Marsh Hunters:

If you care about the future of Hullett and programs such as the "Pheasant Release" please show some support and purchase a ticket or two for your hunting buddy or husband/wife!

Gourmet meal, Friends of Hullett Membership and a great line up of auction items for 2016 including 2 shotguns and even a diamond necklace for that special lady in your life.

The early bird prize cut off is April 1st.....2 OFAH memberships and a one night stay at the Albion hotel with breakfast.

We need you help...thanks for considering.

The Hullett Spring Dinner/Auction is now sold out, the event becomes more popular each year!

Thanks to all who have supported by attending the dinner as well as donating items.

OOD forum members Sharon and Dilly have both donated items towards the cause.

We are hopeful to continue the Pheasant Release once again this year.

"Pheasant Challenge" tickets will be printed soon and available for sale, hunters supporting the challenge show solid numbers and $ towards the pheasant release.

Let's make 2016 a year to show your support for the pheasant release and allow to release 1000 birds again.

Hello FOH,

If the pheasant hunters were able to sell more tickets or raise more funds - would you release more birds?

I can't speak for FOH, but I'd like to direct you to his earlier post:

I would suggest that a lot more money would need to be raised to justify increasing the number of birds released. If the pheasant hunters could sell more tickets or raise more funds, it would justify continuing the program in the long term. As it stands this program depends on funds FOH raises from other sources.

Glad to hear the dinner tickets all sold. I missed out on getting one. I hope my call brings a few bucks at auction. For those going, have a great evening.

That's great that the event is sold out! Good work Scott. :)
