Results are out.

Just got off the phone with a friend who drew three raffle tags.

Thanks to those that stepped in the arena and congrats to those who caught a lucky lottery ball.

You could always pick up a multi season deer tag if you don’t have one already, that will give you 3 seasons to hunt that big whitetail.

Ive got a multi tag, but i wont have any rifle or muzzy off to hunt.  Ill have about the first week and a half of september off, and the whole late archery season.  I MIGHT get the last few days of early rifle off.  Either way, i have a bigger older buck in a different area that i am going to try to get early sept.  Ive been watching him for 5 years, and ive finally figured him out enough that i think i can get him in september, so im making my move.  If i get him, the other buck will have to wait until 2020, unless i do get the raffle.  If i dont score in september, then november will see me back after the buck i was hunting last year.

I dont see online that you can check numbers yet.  So i guess you mean all calls have been made.  If your friend drew whitetail, kick him in the nuts for me.

Did you buy all your tickets at once or spaced out?

Bought 200 in april, then another 101 in june.

the guy that won the whitetail raffle probably only bought 5 tickets. WDFW thanks you for your donation. Because I’m sure your money will go to better the   Species.
Bummer deal!

I got five each week (westside elk), missed a couple times because they weren't updating the tickets sold site.  Sadly, no phone call.  Think I was hovering around 5% of tickets throughout.  But my odds were less than about 0.75% to not be selected again for a quality bull muzzleloader permit in the draw, so raffle was still worth it even if just a donation.

Cant tell if thats sarcasm, or if you just have a hell of a lot more faith than i do in wdfws ability to spend money wisely or make sound decisions to benefit our herds.

its sarcasm. I’ve dumped a good amount of cash for my budget in the past for years. That’s all I’ve done is donate. Would like to see where our money actually goes. I scaled way back on tickets this year. Glad I did. Same end result but I am 3k ahead of the game.

[Skyvalhunter]

Sure enlighten us.

[Rainier10]

Not even a phone call thanking me for my donation.  What the heck?!

Looking forward to seeing how close I got to winning.  Hopefully they post the results page before the end of day.  My guess is won't be until next though.

The mountain goat winner was the last phone call to go out and he's been called. There are 2 people they weren't able to reach. Once they reach the last 2 winners, they'll make it viewable online. Likely next week some time at this point.

[trophyhunt]

I wonder why they need to contact the winners before they release the results?

I believe because they want to make an effort to confirm the winners are going to take the permits.
