Agree it is about the money and either sold in state or out, its probably out of reach for me.

I have never understood why gov. tags are not raffled within the state they are being sold for. I know that some are raffled within WA like the whitetail and blacktail deer among others. Even if there is a phone-in option I always felt that the the auction should take place where that tag would be used... Is it so the audience it reaches would be larger and generate more revenue? Also I want to buy that blacktail tag one year.

Its all about the money..
..for the management of the respective species.

Yep, I should have added, they go out of state where the big money is spent.

It would really suprise you how many of those big spenders originate in this state. No joke. We have the big spenders here. There are a ton of guys in this state who have spent hundreds of thousands or millions in their hunting careers. The reason is not so much they spend out of state as it is where the tags are.
Take your kids into the outdoors. They are our future. Support conservation by joining and participating in future through NRA, SCI, RMEF, Wild Sheep or any of the other great organizations.
