Tennessee Elk Hunt Raffle
Just FYI for all the hunters on the board, the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Foundation is having a raffle for an elk hunt in the Cumberland Mountains just north of Knoxville. Each raffle ticket is $10. The winner not only gets to hunt for elk this fall in the North Cumberland Wildlife Management area (where the state has been reintroducing the species for around a decade), but also wins a new rifle from Bass Pro Shops (a Tikka T3X Lite). The proceeds of the raffle all go back to the elk restoration program.
Here's a link where you can buy tickets:

I've never hiked that area, but I've I've driven through a couple of times. It's beautiful country, especially when the fall foliage hits.
