Welcome to the 2022 Bighorn Rendezvous and Banquet! We have an exciting event this year with live and silent auctions; statewide bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and pronghorn license raffles; a youth program and another Life Member sheep hunt drawing! We are thrilled to return the Embassy Suites Loveland Hotel Conference Center, with nearly unlimited space and opportunity.
We will be conducting our fourth Life Member sheep hunt giveaway Saturday night. One lucky life member in attendance will win a 2024 Wrangell Mountains Dall's sheep hunt with Mont Mahoney and Alaska Dall Sheep Guides! Be sure to upgrade to a life membership on the membership page when you finish registering.
We are very excited to announce that Jeff and Jann Demaske have graciously invited us back to their trophy room for the Friday evening Life Member Social! Plan to join us for an evening of cocktails, appetizers, door prizes and more. There will be plenty of raffle opportunities, so don't forget your cash! The social is free to life members; all others can purchase tickets for $50. New this year: you MUST be registered for the Rendezvous Saturday night in order to register for the social. Shuttle transportation will be provided from Embassy Suites to the social beginning at 5:30 PM. Parking will be very limited at the social; the shuttle is strongly recommended. There will be no admittance to the social without preregistration, so don't forget to add it during the registration process!
Please plan to attend the annual membership meeting at 2:30 PM Saturday. A member in attendance will win a Yeti cooler and $500 of general raffle tickets! If you're not a member, sign up now!
A room block is available both Friday and Saturday night at the Embassy Suites, at the rate of $164/night. Book online at this link or call 970-612-2440 and reference the Bighorn Rendezvous. This block will be released on May 11, so book early! There are several other very reasonably priced hotels nearby. View nearby hotels at this link.
Please note that adult registration price increases to $100 on May 22!
