I'd still love to see a 5 ticket restriction on raffles.

 :yeah: at this point I'd be happy if they restricted to 100 tickets a person

that would be sweet. But the state I think would frown upon that. :chuckle:

Why is it no one's all twisted up on these like the OIL tags when they are both lottery's?

I'm sure you have a couple of moose on the hit list. What species are going with on the ne big game. Moose bear and not sure if I'd do elk or cougar.

If im lucky enough to draw that itll be moose whitetail and elk.  If i hit the powerball and draw both moose and ne wa tickets,  then ill do whitetail elk and bear on the ne wa.  Why would i take an extra cougar tag when ive failed every shot opp ive had on my general coug tags?  Gotta learn to walk before you run

I am, but I've spouted off before to no avail. Apparently even if you only have 1 ticket, you still have a chance to win even though some other dude drops thousands of dollars on tickets for a single species, and that's good enough. So I'm all done spouting off. Limit the number of tickets. That's what I say.

That would make too much sense. 
Also, the state would lose out majorly, or would they?
Could that spark more people to buy 2 or 3 tickets, knowing they'd have a honest chance?
Might be time for a formula....

Dont limit the number of tickets.  Not yet at least.  Sometime in the next few years if i havent got a wa moose tag yet, im gonna step in and sing my whale song day 1.  After that i dont care.  I just want a chance to go big first.

I don't buy raffle tickets at all for this reason. I'm sure I'm not the only one. If there was a limit, I would buy again. I'm again sure I'm not the only one.

Maybe they can do a trial year.  Leave the current raffle in place, and set up another with a 5 ticket limit and see what happens.  Who cares if 2 more bull moose get killed?  At the rate the wolves are killing them i think moose tags in this state are going to start disappearing.  May as well let us get while the gettins good.
