I won an orange hat once at a hunters ball. Drinking all night and lost it before I got home. May have left it at the gals house I took home. Couldn't remember her name or where she lived or how I got home.

Nice haul. My parents have probably or more 10 guns they have won at banquets over the years.
Sat with a friend at Delta Waterfowl one year and watched him win 3 guns in a row.
I won a BPS 12 gage the first RMEF banquet I attended. Nothing since.

I sent your story with pictures to Beau Liddel, MN DNR. He suggested you blaze all the trees on your parcel and harvest the corn in the fall. Said the turkey will roost/feed elsewhere and the deer will be just fine. Said they dont need your help. He was kind of grumpy.

Won a Mathews bow years ago at a DU banquet. Won a tristar semi auto a few years ago at another DU. Traded that in Thursday for a new Benelli SBE 3. Also traded my old browning maxus. Benelli was on sale and with the trade walked out under $1,000. Gave me $225 for the tristar.

I won a Benelli Nova 3 1/2” a few months ago at a NWTF gun bingo night, the wife and are are going to the gun bingo again tomorrow night. Fingers crossed. Only a $50 night each for 10 games as long as you stay away from the side raffles. Those will suck the $20 bills out of ya quick.
