Tickets for the Dave Sherwood Memorial Scholarship Elk Hunt Raffle go on sale May 1 at selected outlets across Lewis and Thurston counties.
Raffle tickets are $25. Only 500 tickets are available. The winner will be allowed to hunt for a big bull elk (minimum three-point) on TransAlta land north of Centralia. The hunt is a modern rifle hunt set for Nov. 6-7. The winner is responsible for buying a Washington hunting license and permit for a westside modern firearm. They will be accompanied by a TransAlta representative during the hunt.
