Back on topic let's get down to raffle numbers. They give an average joe a better than average chance to draw when compared to the general draw. No question.You will be apologetic for this exchange. I hope you stand behind your words as they are memorialized. This is by no means a threat just know our paths will certainly cross. The stage is not always huntwa. Tbar,I'm quick to apologize when it's warranted.I spelled the facts of the matter out for you. Instead of coming up with a solid rebuttal you evidently thought it was easier to pick at a goat raffle scab that I've long since forgotten about. Seriously, it's water under the bridge dude. Anyway, if you want to publicly admit to having a low IQ like you did AND make anonymous thinly veiled threats about our paths crossing (and you're not anonymous BTW), then that's on you. Memorialize away. In the meantime, and until the math indicates otherwise, I agree with you that there is no question that the odds are generally better in the raffle than they are in the general draw (special hunter permit applications).Quote from: Tbar on June 30, 2019, 07:36:45 PMQuote from: trophyhunt on June 30, 2019, 06:58:41 PMTbar, as a tribal member, why do you even care about the raffles?I care about many things that aren't exclusive to tribal/ non tribal. I also realize that my voice and impact has minimal effect on wildlife management and truly care that the hunting tradition and culture carries on regardless of which side you are on. Therefore I care about deviations from the model. The further we distance ourselves from that the easier it'll be to end or severely limit hunting in this state, which we negatively impact all consumptive users. I respect that point of view as well. Absolutely.What I don't have a whole lot of time or respect for are anonymous online forum posters that make thinly veiled threats.Tbar, My name is Allen Ernst. My cell phone is 206-229-2519. I'm happy take your call tomorrow so we can arrange mutually agreeable time and place to sit down face-to-face and have a frank conversation about what we might agree or disagree on. I doubt you'll be able to change my mind when it comes to the need to dramatically improve the management of, and methods of funding for, wildlife conservation/management in this state and beyond, but I'm open to hearing smart ideas that can be put to work.You know our paths will cross (again). You have alienated an ally, just a fact. No need to call or sit down. You do your best to represent your constituents and I will do likewise regardless of the stage.

Tbar, as a tribal member, why do you even care about the raffles?
I think once a whale or two has made a major buy of tickets the WDFW slows the reports to avoid discouraging other buyers. Its all about the money.
Seems some categories saw a good increase.
Quote from: rackattack on July 01, 2019, 08:24:37 AM Seems some categories saw a good increase. Makes sense, people wait to get their draw results before they jump into the raffle.
I know that if you draw a raffle tag, you have buy an additional license. Does this imply that in order to buy raffle permits you must have a valid license?I didnt buy WA tags this year because its so spendy for non-residents so am I even eligible to buy raffle tickets?
