how many raffle tags are there?

[coachcw]

I believe there's five possible mule deer hunters in the 200 gmus in less there's a hunters ed tag making it six .

[jackelope]

do we have a lock on how many are muledeer incentive ones, or is that varied by choice of the seven?

Yes, there are only so many of each.

Maybe I'm missing something as to the intent of the post. I'm guessing you're trying to figure out how many hunters could currently be hunting in the Methow??? If so, keep in mind pursuant to RCW 77.32.565, the state can issue more tags to hunters who are terminally ill.

I just saw a facebook post from Okanagan outfitters which a Raffle tag holder just shot a nice buck. I would assume its entiat/methow area.

I had gotten several queries from raffle tag holders, and was kind of shocked at how many were out there and I decided to count.  No motive other than that.   I was surprised there were so many. Back in the day, there were TWO, pretty easy to keep tabs on.

dont know about that. But i would bet our mule deer would be better off! Id chip in a bit for pay!

Hey bone. Just curious. Has anyone offered you a large chunk of money to help them fill their raffle or gov tag?

[boneaddict]

I was offered 5 grand for Mr. Calender cover this year, but I don't do that.

  If it would have been in Coaches region, we would have had a good hunt.
(To clarify, he wasn't who offered)

there's been a few guys lurking wanting to fill there raffle / gov tags.  I would have bought  bone a beer but I rather shoot a two point than play that game . So much about a hunt is the hunt and the quest. If a guy wants a giant just go to a hi fence hunt  Good on you Doug for not giving in to the temptation maybe next year some lucky member will have that tag .

Bone,

The way I read it, there are 3 raffle tags that could hunt the Swakane/Entiat/Methow

1) The 3 Deer can hunt Muledeer in any unit

2) The North Central can hunt Muledeer in any 200 unit

3) The Muledeer can hunt Muledeer in any unit

I could be missing something though

Wow, way to not give in to the money.  Hopefully you or someone close to you will draw the tag next year and he will still be available.
