Silly people think the money goes to a good cause if it goes to the state..right...the only good I see is 10% that went to the chapters
The state does have a moose raffle. Tickets are about $11 each or so. In fact, I think there are two moose raffle tags, right?
Do you know who won it?

At least 2 raffles that I know of last fall were won by guys spending many thousands of dollars. Heck 1 guy bought a tag at auction then won the raffle tag too.what pianoman is saying....each person buys 1 ticket at $20 each. Then everyone has a fair shake.

So why not raffle all three of the moose tags instead of saving one for the rich? Do we not have enough people buying raffle tags to generate this kind of money? Don't get me wrong - I have nothing against rich people. I'd like to be able to count myself among them one day. However, the North American Conservation Model provides that wild game belongs to all off us, not just the rich, as it is in most of Europe. It'd be one thing if not enough people were interested. But, I think they are and would buy the tickets.

But, I think they are and would buy the tickets.I'm all for giving everyone a shot - heck, I participate in the raffles but don't see myself buying auction tags anytime soon. But unfortunately I think the raffle route would have raised a lot less $$, particularly in this case. With each extra tag you raffle, the incremental proceeds will be less and less because you've already soaked up a significant amount of your demand for moose raffle tickets. I'm guessing adding an extra moose tag might get an extra $10K in incremental raffle ticket sales, if that. In this case, we would have lost out on $30K for wildlife by selling that tag through the raffle. Similarly, for max proceeds with the same number of tags, I don't think you want to just auction all of them either. If the goal is to maximize proceeds, then we need to mix it up a little and sell through different channels.
