We’re helping the team at Banded give away another very unique and rare prize package ….a hunting trip of a lifetime. We’ve been involved with sweepstakes that have awarded firearms as prizes, but this is the first one that actually involves the hunt as well.

The Mallard Ducks and Big Bucks – Super Hunt Classic Sweepstakes launched on August 15 and runs till November 28. To enter people just visit the promotional website at http://superhuntclassic.com and fill out the entry form. One grand prize winner will be randomly chosen to receive a hunting experience for themselves and a guest. The experience includes six days on a hunt of a lifetime that will take place in Louisiana sometime in early 2018.

Winner and guest will spend two days with the Simmons’ Sporting Goods team, two days at the Honey Brake Hunting Lodge and then two days with Bill Jordan and Realtree Outdoors. The prize package also includes round trip airfare for winner and their guest to Alexandria, LA,  two shotguns for bird hunting, two rifles for deer hunting and $5,000 in Banded gear. Total prize is valued at $15,000.

Now I’m not much of a hunter, but when I told my husband about this package he said that many of the guys he works with would die to win this trip. They have now become part of the Banded Community. BANDED was originally formed by a group of avid outdoorsmen, innovators, and product designers that joined forces after years of working in the outdoor industry. Their goal has been to create superior products to enhance the outdoor experience with a special focus on duck hunters.

Banded.com offers over 600 items representing a diverse line of product categories which include outerwear, waders, boots, hunting accessories, blinds, decoys, calls and more. It not only includes outdoor merchandise for sale, but also some informative content targeted specifically for the Banded community. Users can find hunting tips, recent news items along with a couple of video series.

This is the third sweepstakes this year we have worked with Banded in handling the administration. The other sweepstakes that Banded launched with a very unique prize package was giving away Avery, a hunting dog, that I wrote about a few months ago in this post, The Bring Avery Home Sweepstakes. They also are running the The Waterfowlers Dream Boat Giveaway which is unique as well because one grand prize winner wins it all, a prize package valued at almost $19,000. Last year, our first sweepstakes working with the Banded team, they offered another big prize package which included not only the boat and trailer, but also the truck to tow it with in their Greatest Outdoor Giveaway Sweepstakes.

Banded has several partners that help to provide such big prize packages. These sweepstakes help to grow the Banded Community by gaining participants’ data and adding them to their email list. Banded has some great content that they develop to help keep their community engaged. So hopefully we’ll continue to work with them throughout 2018. In the meantime I’ll have some very lucky winners to contact.

The team at Banded Holdings kicked off earlier this month a new sweepstakes that we’re again assisting them with called The Waterfowlers Dream Boat Giveaway. Last month I wrote about another very unique sweepstakes we’ve been working with them on, The Bring Avery Home Sweepstakes, in which the main highlight is the prize, Avery, the hunting dog. The Waterfowlers Dream Boat Giveaway is also unique because one grand prize winner will take it all…a prize package valued at almost $19,000.

The prize package consists of  a special,custom Banded Edition “Gladiator” War Eagle Boat, finished in Mossy Oak camo, that comes with a trailer and a GatorTail GTRXD 37HP-EFI Motor. Plus the winner receives a whole bunch of Banded, Avery and GHG Decoy Systems hunting gear. All participants need to do is visit the promotional website and fill out and submit the entry form.

Now if you’re like me your thinking, what would I do with this prize package? If so then you, like me, are not part of Banded’s community. BANDED was originally formed by a group of avid outdoorsmen, innovators, and product designers that joined forces after years of working in the outdoor industry. Their goal has been to create superior products to enhance the outdoor experience with a special focus on duck hunters.

Banded.com offers over 600 items representing a diverse line of product categories which include outerwear, waders, boots, hunting accessories, blinds, decoys, calls and more. It not only includes outdoor merchandise for sale, but also some informative content targeted specifically for the Banded community. Users can find hunting tips, recent news items along with a couple of video series.

Last year I wrote about another big prize package that they offered which included not only the boat and trailer, but also the truck to tow it with in their Greatest Outdoor Giveaway Sweepstakes. They are a true testament that sweepstakes really work for them which has helped to grow their community. This year’s Waterfowlers Dream Boat Giveaway runs till November 7 and the winner should be announced on November 25.

During the many years we’ve been doing sweepstakes and contests we have been involved with awarding all kinds of prizes. The majority include cash, trips, meet & greets with celebrities and sports figures, tickets to popular events and branded merchandise. Occasionally we come across a very unique and rare prize package opportunity which with this sweepstakes it will be the first time that we will be awarding a live animal.

The main highlight of this sweepstakes prize is Avery, the hunting dog. The Bring Avery Home Sweepstakes just kicked off this week which is mainly sponsored by Banded Holdings and includes several prize partners. Banded.com offers over 600 items representing a diverse line of different product categories. Some of these include outerwear, waders, boot, hunting accessories, blinds, decoys and calls. BANDED was originally formed by a group of avid outdoorsmen, innovators, and product designers that joined forces after years of working in the outdoor industry. Their goal in the beginning was to create superior products to enhance the outdoor experience and that remains to be the foundation of BANDED today.

The Bring Avery Home Sweepstakes will award one lucky winner the chance to fulfill their dream of owning the perfect hunting companion. Avery is an experienced hunting companion trained by Brad Arington at Mossy Pond Retrievers. Also included in the prize package is a hunt of a lifetime for the winner and three friends at Honey Brake Lodge, a Benelli Super Black Eagle III shotgun, a year supply of Loyall dog food, a dog kennel from Gunner Kennels, a SportDOG training collar, various training supplies from Avery Sporting Dog, and hunting outfits from Banded. They’ve even included a travel stipend of $1,300 to cover the costs involved for the winner to travel to pick up Avery.

Participants can enter online at www.BringAveryHome.com. The sweepstakes will be running until November 29. At that time we will conduct a drawing of all the entrants to determine the Grand Prize winner. The team at Banded, Mossy Pond Retrievers and the rest of the prize providers are very concerned about awarding Avery to a winner that’s going to provide him with a good home as well as let Avery experience the life that he’s been trained for and loves. In order to be eligible to receive the prize the winner must validate that they are experienced in the sport of hunting. They will need to provide a copy of a valid hunting license and agree to sign an adoption agreement and waiver forms authorizing the confidential release of a personal and background information check. If they cannot provide this information, then an alternate winner will be selected.

Banded.com not only includes outdoor merchandise, but also some informative content targeted specifically for their community. You can find hunting tips, recent news items and a couple of video series. I wrote about another big prize package that they offered last year in their Greatest Outdoor Giveaway Sweepstakes.

So even if you’re not a hunter, hopefully with the long, holiday weekend coming up you can get out and enjoy some of the great outdoors. I hope everyone has a great Fourth of July and don’t forget to celebrate our country’s freedom!
