Raffles 2020
« on: January 04, 2020, 02:24:58 PM »
2020 Washington raffle hunt tickets are up, and mule deer is already totally flooded. 14 tickets sold by day 3!
There is not enough wilderness left in the world, or in the hearts of men.

Didnt know they went on sale so early.  I got my hands full this year between wa and idaho general tags, dont know how ill make the time for it all as is.  After getting 2nd and 3rd place on the whitetail raffle last year, and losing out to a guy that bought 1/30th of the tickets i bought, im just going to call my 900 bucks in idaho tags my "raffle tags" this year.  Think ill go buy 10 whitetail tickets and 1 ne pkg and call it good.  If i can get my main washington target buck down early on, i can go hunt deer in idaho through dec 1st.

I sure wish they could find away to sell them on line again, I’d buy a couple every payday if it was on line.  Always forget otherwise....  sorry bango, but I’m always rooting for the little guys, mostly because I am one.

Can you compete with the $10k non residents march onto wa and put down?

Man, this is early.  WDFW must have read about my strategy the last few years of buying a few a week.  I did so bad in the raffles--I'm second guessing even playing this year.

Most of the whales dropping big $$ are from Washington.

Relax people, just kidding.  Besides, Brian is way too nice to consider this.

I'd have no concerns with that happening with the guy being mentioned.

4th 2 years ago, 2nd 3 years ago. Or maybe vice versa.  I think my highest was 21 last year.
