Post by: JDArms1240 on June 05, 2025, 08:23:34 PM: 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.

Post by: teanawayslayer on June 05, 2025, 08:32:41 PM: 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.

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.

Post by: JDArms1240 on June 06, 2025, 07:22:35 PM: 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!

Post by: yogru on June 08, 2025, 03:19:39 PM: On a somewhat related note, Idaho released the entry numbers for their first round of super tags already. Lot more money put in this year as compared to the last couple years. https://idfg.idaho.gov/superhunt/odds (https://idfg.idaho.gov/superhunt/odds)

Post by: addicted1 on June 08, 2025, 10:56:29 PM: Good luck, I have often wondered if it would just be better to get a large group of folks to pool in and buy a bundle of tickets and just rotate who is putting in each year. Odds are so poor for OIL if seems like a decent option.
