Yup. Experiences are treated the same as a cash prize for IRS purposes. Look at the official rules section on the website. You’ll get a 1099 for the value of the hunt as if it was income.

I saw more deer over 200 in 3 days in the pauns than I’ve seen in the last decade.

I’d go to just bring carry Travis’s cooler full of cokes.

Going into their taxidermy shop is hard on your zipper..

You can tag along any time! Good seeing you with that monster!

I think you guys throwing out the tax issue also realize quite well that in most sweepstakes type giveaways, there will be taxes. Just part of living in the land of the free and the home of the brave. You are all smart guys and I'm sure you've also looked up the fact that most sweepstakes offer a cash prize instead of the hunt or whatever that particular item happens to be. In most cases, the cash prize is very significant. Plenty good enough that if you aren't in a position financially to pay the taxes on the prize, you will walk away with enough money to buy a badass hunt pretty much any where in North America. I understand the drive to post up all the negatives, but in reality, there's no reason the winner of this DeerBeDead Outfitters Paunsaugunt hunt can't walk away with a great hunt, or a chunk of cash. Cheers, and good luck to those that have entered, we appreciate all of you Roksliders that have purchased tickets! Hope somebody that likes to hunt big deer wins this one!
