HUGE RAFFLE BULL

[huntnphool]

Guy at work showed me that pic yesterday.  I was trying to figure it out where he was hunting.  So roughly how much does the governors tag go for?

I think it was a little more than $40k this year.

$44,000 for the governors tag.  I wonder how much the two raffle tags cost?

I think he had 3 total plus the WSF sheep tag too.

I knew he had the 2 raffle tags and a sheep tag.  I need a new job

Roughly the same, but without the guarantee of getting either tag.  Plus, if 2 people are seriously bidding for the Gov. tag, then the $44k price jumps to $60k.

Just once I'd like to see a 1-ticket-purchased guy get the tags out from under the $20k spent guys.  I do want the $20k guys to continue paying that much, though.  Lots of good is being done with that money.

   Agree with all comments above.  Unfortunately, the "one ticket guy" won't be me.  I quit playing when I figured out how this game was being played.  I can't afford the donation...

And you are not alone. It should be limited to 5 tickets each category per wild ID, I bet sales dollars would remain relatively the same yet eliminate the virtual guarantee that someone can simply "buy" the tag.

Do you think that enough of us would jump in if there was a limit?  It would take a lot of $15 "jump ins" to make up for $20k...

I do. I think more people like you would participate and also more people that are buying 1 or 2 tickets would max out at 5 as well.

[boneaddict]

I bought about 5 each when I played the game.  I'm sure I am not alone.

I'd like to see where those dollars are truly being spent. I'm not sure 'Lots of good is being done' with those funds.

I recently sent a email to wdfw sharing these exact thoughts.  I feel there should be a cap as well. If people like klumper ( not knocking the guy ) keep buying the raffle people like me will stop participating and in the long run they will loose money.

Ross-
People like you have already quit participating.

With the cost of permits, I have yet to buy in to the raffles. The odds are just as bad.
