Welcome, friends, to our 37th 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 “Mr. Pheasant” by artist Christa Dawn– 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 multi-course 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:

​

THE GUN

 

One lucky winner will walk out the door with an 18 Gun Browning safe complete with 3 Wisconsin manufactured Henry Arms guns! This safe comes 
with a UL listed electronic lock and 45 minutes of fire protection up to 1,200° Fahrenheit. Rest assured that firearms can be stored away easily and with 
maximum confidence when you are away. To help fill your new safe, you’ll be taking away not two, but three guns from Henry Arms, featuring three of their 
iconic designs. The Henry.357/.38 Handgun offers the smooth action and reliable .357 Magnum and .38 Special cartridges. For close-range utility, the 
Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun provides manageable recoil and accurate performance, making it an excellent choice for light sport and pest control. 
Finally, embodying the spirit of the traditional hunt, the Henry Big Boy .30-30 Rifle is chambered in the legendary .30-30 Winchester, renowned for its 
proven success and reliability as one of the finest classic deer hunting rifles ever made.

 

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 enjoy a great hunt and evening with family or friends
