Working man raffle tag winner

[hunterednate]

Yeehaw!! Wow, congrats on a fantastic tag. I'd spend the first two weeks of November in 290, absolutely. You may be familiar with the unit, but PM me if you need a start on places to check out. Pumped for you.

Well, there is one way to guarantee they OP will not share his story.....and a couple of you have nailed it!!!  Strong work criticizing a guy that has literally just won the hunting lottery.  You guys really know how to take a big steaming crap on fellow hunters.   

If my comment is what you're referring to as criticism, then I don't know what to say. I just made a statement that some of the guys who "stack the box" are some of the hardest working guys out there and a first time poster should realize that. I love to see the underdog win these raffles as does 99% of us hunters......and no, I didn't stack the raffle although if I had the finances I'd love to.

Congrats on drawing such an awesome raffle tag. What are your plans for filling the other two species options for that north central raffle? Sounds like an amazing fall hunting season.

Not trying to jump in on your guys conversation, but i do disagree with you on the part a first time poster should realize this. I'm somewhat new here, been a long time lurker and have hunted WA for 30 years and wasn't fully aware of how the raffles worked out. I do now thou and it is was welcoming news.

I have no issue about you posting what you did. Some people may view it as hurting feelings and scary people off, people shouldn't be so sensitive.... If you didn't post what you did, i would of had no clue who was stacking the box Hopefully the OP feels the same way....

Good luck on your hunt, good things will happen in many units in November!

Congratulations to the RAFFLE WINNER. Don't listen to some people on this site go kill a great buck!

Congratulations on the tag. I’d hunt every bit of spare time you have from now to the end of the year. I think it’d be worth it to hunt all the areas, you never know where a big buck might show up. Plus when you get burnt out on one area or type of hunting you can move to another.

Congratulations on winning the draw, don’t let the occasional jack wagon on here keep you from posting the mods do a pretty good job beating them down.🤣

Can’t wait to see pics, and read the story of a lifetime hunt.👍

Personally I would quit my job....


But I'm retired so talk is cheap...

Cool tag.
You actually have the perfect scenario shaping up for migration bucks. Heavy mnt snow forecast for the next couple weeks.
Spend a couple days in 290 but I would definitely want to be in the foothills looking over migration bucks by the 15th- 20th..imo

No issue with the "hard working' average guy spending extra hard working $ on raffle tickets. However, I know of several persons spending $6,000-$20,000 on raffle tickets. That's a problem for the average hunter and a problem with the system IMO....Congrats and kill a masher! I have some ideas if you are interested.

Congrats on a great tag. Like others have said I would hunt the desert for a bit and the switch to the entiat after the 15th of November if you aren’t finding what you want in the desert.

Good luck and I hope you do come back with an update and story

[bustedoldman]

Great tag and congrats! Hope you kill a giant.....But I would have been in the desert from opening day every chance I got until the snow really starts coming down in the hills......
