Ever win the WDFW Big Game Raffle?
« on: June 05, 2025, 03:10:03 PM »
Have you or anyone you’ve know been drawn for the WDFW Big Game Raffle?  I put a few in, I think I just donated $60 but we’ll see!

We've had quite a few members on here win raffles or help with raffles. 
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

I think it used to be easier for the average Joe to win. No the big boys just buy to many tix to compete.   Same guys draw em a lot.

Yeah that was my thought, drop big $$$ or just get $60 worth?  I elected for the $60.  I’m sure that there are people that spend big.

Had a buddy buy 8 tickets 5 years or so ago and hit the mule deer. I used to dump between 2-3k a year into the raffles. Never even came close to a winning ticket. Have bought any for a few years now.

It was so much better when you could buy them on line, every payday I'd buy a few.  One year came in as #3 for the western elk, now they don't show you where you land, which sucks, for the money it's nice to see at least where you ended up.  I always root for the small guys and not the whales.

TrophyHunt i could agree with that, i really want to put in big $ but with two young boys and a stay-at-home wife keeping the house together, i cant justify TOO much money on it. 

Dohey07, i did that also, i just bought three tickets for my wife and i each.  I wouldnt be surprised if those odds were WAAAY lower so heres to hoping!
