I’ve looked online many times and for the life of me can’t see how many raffle tickets have been sold for each category this year. Anyone have a link?

All of those numbers are low and some will double between now and the deadline. I usually buy, but havent yet and dont know if I will because I have horrible luck with drawing anything in WA. The last minute donations that are made by us foolish guys that think we have a chance really screw the odds up for the guys that buy early and often! :chuckle:

Yep 1 or 100 your “odds” probably really are no different. Unless you’re the guy that dumped $50,000 into the eastern Washington elk raffle then you might have a little better odds than the rest of us. I don’t mind gambling but that’s exactly what this is and I would never put that kind of money into something it wasn’t guaranteed. That’s a awesome trip to Alaska killing pretty much anything I want and then some

The number sold is near the top of each raffle hunt title. It kind of blends in, I didn't see it at first either, thought it would be a table format..

This seems too obvious, so I must be missing something. But I would assume that the bulk of the Eastside elk ticket buyers would hunt the Southest part of the state if drawn. So if you were a guy ready to throw big money at that single tag, why not throw it at the Southeast multiple species and have a WAY better chance, plus get multiple tags??

There are a quite a few big bulls in central WA too, so I wouldn't be so sure the winner is heading to the SE corner. :twocents: I would assume that someone flooded the Eastside bull category based on the current numbers and knows where there is a big bull they are targeting. Hopefully someone that only bought a few raffle tickets is lucky enough to win the raffle. I always root for the little guy that doesn't have that much disposal income to essentially buy the raffle.

That was a pretty big slug of Eastern Elk that got bought up, someone must have some Intel on a dang nice Bull

ding ding ding. I think we have a winner.

Eastern elk only went up 400 over the weekend. Not bad really. The big jump was early last week, 8,000 tickets in a day. :yike:
All categories are close to last years sales and many are above last years sales already. I am sure we are going to see new all time records in most categories this year.
