Raffle? Then every Tom, Dick and Harry will apply for a tag, and whoever gets drawn will not know what to do with it, the Game dept will make tons of cash, hunters will kill few if any (legally), the population will continue to grow, and wildlife will say "Hey...look,...we gave hunters the chance, they dont get many, there must not be very many to worry about.....Oh... and yeah, the elk and deer numbers are down, so we need to limit the hunt more, and reduce the permit oportunities...too bad...."
