It's a good idea, I'd buy tickets if it was a raffle for sure.

 The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.

Should be a Yakama and Colville call, mostly their work and money.

There inlies the problem.    And once the tag is notched the attitude of folks change and the species  loses the stigma of being protected.   Poaching goes up tenfold.   Right now folks, tribal members etc are all pretty protective of them.  Once the pies starts being divided, it will be gone.

As much as I would love to get an opportunity to try for one Bone is right. Besides, I don’t trust that all funds gained from a raffle would go back toward the species. Hopefully the wolves don’t eventually get to them but it seems inevitable I’m afraid.

I finally saw one yesterday! It crossed the road and then stood for while as I looked at it through Binos at about 100 yards, it looked healthy and had a nice rack. This was south west of Tri cities

Saw a collared doe with a yearling fawn a couple weeks ago between on the top of the Rock Island Grade.  Too far for anything but a fuzzy pic, akin to a bigfoot photo  :chuckle: But pretty cool to see my first WA Pronghorn
