• Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.

    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Question for staff

I was not real sure who, specifically, to address this to, but I would like like to ask for permission (if it is deemed appropriate) to post in the Hunting, and perhaps the Shotgun forums about a raffle that my Pheasants Forever chapter is putting on.
My chapter, the Logan Creek chapter of NE has been very active in habitat projects, last year we ranked 13th out of over 50 chapters in the state, and 58th out of 534 chapters nationwide. The Logan Creek chapter is from Wayne, NE, a town of about 6,000 and has approx 200 members. Our chapter last year alone spent $29,985 on our various habitat projects. In addition to this we had several other projects including a Youth Mentor Hunt for which we purchased 5 20g 870s to use for hunter education. Nationwide, Pheasants Forever is a very efficient organization with 93% of the money we raise going directly to projects, with only2% going for administration, and 5% for fundraising. Our banquet is the major fundraiser that we conduct each year.
This year our banquet raffle gun, actually the only one we are selling tickets for outside of our chapter banquet, (we will give away at least 6 other guns to people attending the banquet) is a 12g Red Label, VERY nicely engraved, with a 24k gold plated scene "Retriever with a Kill" scene on the right side, and a "Pheasants at Sunrise" scene on the left with very ornate scrollwork surrounding each, 1 of 100 so finished.

With your permission, I would like to post this information in the aforementioned forums, to see if anyone would be interested in taking a chance on winning this gun, with the added benefit of helping wildlife.

Respectfully,
Bergie
