LOL, thanks GRK. By the way, what is GRK short for, hope your name isn't Gary Ridgeway.

[G.R.K]

Gary Rigeway thats funny,but you never know.

I guess its not that a big deal to buy a few tags for the guy who's got that kinda money. However, for those average guys out there who will never, nor will ever be able to spend that kind of money on a tag it can seem a little ridiculous. So count me out of the acution tag race.
Unless I keep my karma up and win a tag from the Arizona Big Game Super Raffle, I don't think I'll ever have from Sept. 1st to Dec. 31st to go looking for the biggest critter out there.

The raffle tags are only $5.00, I dont know any hunter that cant afford that

[clindsayrun]

I'm all about entering for the raffle tags...I was just saying that the auction tags can get a little out of control. 7K is a lot-o-cash.

[HuntingFanatic]

for some reason I thought they were 20 dollars a piece......guess Ill have to buy some for me and my dad.

[muleysgirl13]

I will second he 7k being a bit too rediculous... when your in a *censored*ty paying work field like i am 7k sounds like an awful lot of money.  I think i will just take more time scouting and try and hike in a little farther then the other guys. 

I like how GRK didnt deny being gary ridgeway he just laughed (suspicious??) HA HA Jk

[BC CHASER]

7 K is not a bad price to pay for a 4 month hunt.  My Kansas hunt this year is not 7 but its close and it is only 5 days.  I think the Gov. tag holder is going to kill a big boy this year!

I called the WDFW and after being transferred 3 times I found someone there who knew what I was talking about. They recognized their mistake of having the Raffle Ticket Deer Eastern as an option for purchase and asked me which of the two available deer tags (muley or whitey) I wanted to transfer my Raffle Ticket Deer Eastern chances to. I'm not sure how many people bought tickets for this tag that never really existed but I would suggest calling them and letting them know which you want if you did.

Yes, it is bogus and no longer on the list of raffle tags available for purchase. You should call them and let them know that you want it moved to the mule deer tag (328). Make sure you tell them you want to talk to someone in licensing or you will waste a bunch of time on the phone like I did. There has to be many more out there who purchased this now bogus tag.

[huntnphool]

WOW, thanks for the clarification Wea, you would think they would send out a letter to those that purchased them, they have to know who did.
