Raffle Question

It's probably been answered before, sorry if it has.

If I have an Eastside Elk tag, can I put in for, draw, and hunt a Westside Raffle tag?

This is a quote off the WDFW page:

"There is no limit on the number of tickets a person may purchase. Residents and non-residents are eligible to purchase tickets. Refunds are not available on raffle ticket purchases. The “Once in a Lifetime Harvest" restriction is waived for auction and raffle hunts. The winner of the deer and elk raffles may purchase an additional deer or elk license/tag for the general hunting season if they choose. If selected, any legal weapon may be used during the hunt"


After reading the part in red, I would say you're fine.

Yeah, I read that, but wasn't 100% on it.  Figured it was worth an ask.

I've purchased raffles in the past in this situation, but never thought about the east/west elk issue.

Ditto!  You will be fine.
