After having to convince the license sales gal that the deadline had not passed :bash:, I bought mine yesterday. I bought (2) mule deer, (2) moose, and (2) North Central Combo's. In the past few years I've purchased more but cut back due to the increase in regular tag and permit costs.
Are you buying more, the same, or less than last year?
-
I'm buying the same. 0 :tup:
I didn't vote though, didn't want to throw the data off
-
I will be buy (2) of the following:
mule deer
westside Elk
Cali bighorn
moose
Can't win if I don't put in. Voted for the same amount.
-
With everything else costing more my funds aren't the same for raffle
-
I would have bought the same as last year, I think 2 moose, 2 westside deer, and 2 westside elk- but I drew a good late rifle mule deer permit, and a early muzzleloader cow elk permit, so I've already got all the hunting trips planned that I can afford. So I'm not buying any raffle tickets.
-
None this year.... Last year I had around $70-80 into them....

Wish I had that problem...............raffle tags are my last chance.

Yeah I'm real heartbroken about it. :'(
-
I'll be buying about the same, a few deer, elk, and goat. Can't believe how much some are willing to spend for a raffle tag. The three deer winner last year bought something like 600 tickets. Could you imagine spending over $10,000 and not getting drawn? I want to be the guy that buys one ticket and wins.
-
They WDFW is paying me to stay out of the raffle because I draw too many special permits :chuckle: 1 doe tag, 2 cow tags in 25 years :bash:
-
When is the deadline to buy?
-
When is the deadline to buy?
July 13 (pg 81 of regs) but can't be bought online
-
Thank you :tup:
-
Since I struck out on draws I guess Raffles are my last chance.
-
Never been in the raffles before. Gotta get into the game to win.
Not sure how much I'll spend.
-
Since I struck out on draws I guess Raffles are my last chance.
:yeah:
-
do you have to have your tags already purchased just like the other draws ?
-
Im done being sucked into their game... Im putting all the money Im saving by NOT buying their raffles tickets, into hunting in other states that put the hunter first. Im too sick of the WDFW to support this any longer. Maybe if enough people stand up for how the money is being used to our benefit, we could get this thing turned around. But, I dont see it happening anytime soon with everyone buying buying buying like normal. WA is the WORST state for public access, I ask "why?" with all the money we are dumping into this.
-
do you have to have your tags already purchased just like the other draws ?
Not at all.....this will include your tag.
-

so you have to go to a dealer? I am looking at the regs right now on page 81 it says see page 80 for more info and all that is on page 80 is the multi season raffle so as usual I am confused as heck by this :dunno:
-
go to page 82-83. I think the pg 80 part is a typo.
-
go to page 82-83. I think the pg 80 part is a typo.
thanks...found it....yeah its a nice confusing typo :bash: :bash: I might actually have $6 to waste :chuckle: same as buying 3 powerball tickets :dunno:
-
Lets just say , I'm stirring the electronic pot . I figure it's my only shot and I rather have one of those tags than most outta state tags . three months to find the one !
-
Last year was the first year I bought any and I think I bought 4. This Year I think I am only going to do 2.
-
BIG FAT ZERO HERE! :chuckle:
-
I picked up a couple. :rolleyes:
-
The voting is pretty close so far: :dunno:
Buying fewer than last year 20 (35.1%)
Buying the same as last year 18 (31.6%)
Buying more than last year 19 (33.3%)
-
right phool a few . lets just say my licence is getting pretty long . I will admit it I'm adicted to throphy hunting ! big racks turn me on !
-
I think I bought 100 tickets last year - I'll probably do about the same this year.
-
Did you win anything out off those 100 tickets jjhunter?
-
I think I bought 100 tickets last year - I'll probably do about the same this year.
:tup:
-
Less than last year (if I buy any at all). My tag budget has already been pretty much blown, but I can't blame it all on WA. THis year PathfinderJR and I both put in for MT antelope, so that was an extra couple hundred $(even though he had to earn the money for half of his tag). I have to get a new pair of boots too, so there goes a few hundred. I may sit out the raffles this year...
-
I just counted ouch !
-
Raffles are fun. I put in for most of them. WDFW posts how many tickets have been sold every week or two.
This year some people bought a ton of eastern elk.
Maybe they did not read where you can hunt with that permit. Only places where you can hunt branch antlered elk.
That is mostly up in the NE or places where you can hunt any elk.

You can hunt most any of the eastern GMU's for branch antlered elk, WITH a special permit. I believe the raffle tag is good for any unit that has either a general season or a permit season for branch antlered bulls.

Correct :tup:
-
That would make sense. This year, it looks like raffle ticket sales for eastern elk will easily beat last years. Several people must have bought a hundred tickets or more. Last year not many out of staters bought tickets, but it could be different this year.
-
What really turns me off about these things is I'm pretty sure you can buy them for other people. You get these out of state people all giving their money to one person who actually drives to Washington and makes the purchase for all of them. My guess is we're going to see a huge increase in the number of permits sold July 10-13 when all the hunting agency types like Huntin' Fool come to town to buy raffle tickets for all their customers.
I don't have a problem with out of state people putting in, but they should have to come here and buy tickets themselves if they want entered. I know it's obviously not in the best interest of the state in terms of making money, but it'd sure make us residents happy!
-
Bought quite a few last year. Will buy a couple

Not sure how that happens, you have to have a Wild ID and you can't transfer your winning ticket.
-
Ticket sales seem a little slow in some catagories. I wonder how often they update the totals? The current totals are 12 days old.

Like last year, they will pick up in the last two weeks.

Huntin' Fool purchased raffle tickets for their members last year. Here's the thread about it:

I bought the same as last year- none :tung: just can't afford them
-
Are the raffle ticket quantity numbers capped?
-
Are the raffle ticket quantity numbers capped?
I don't think they are, that way WDFW can theoretically make an unlimited amount of money.
-
Thats a problem then. If they can just print endless quantities based on demand then your chance of drawing is nil. Also anyone.know.how.many winners per category?

There is one tag per category, except two for moose.

Yes the chances are slim but how much better is the chances with the other draws? At least there is a chance and that's all it takes sometimes. There is a member on here that can attest to that...twice... in consecutive years.

Matt,
Deadline is July 13th.
-
Thanks! I was thinking the 7th.
-
I think I have most of them LOL. I expect the numbers to explode before the deadline .

You would think with all the money they make from the raffle, they would let the sheep and goat hunt winners hunt in any area that is open in 2012, not just the ones with two tags.

-

Beacause if they did that then they would have to open them to the auction tag holder as well, so potentially three rams could be taken out of one unit, which is what they are trying to avoid. I am glad its this way. :twocents:
-
they also would have to allow tribal tags that equall the state tags , still would like to see the oppourtunity to hunt those areas on a raffle tag , they would just have to rewrite the quata law .

I don't believe that. Any of those areas that have had one one tag in them can get by just fine with an extra ram or two taken out every now and then. Not every hunter is going to hold out for that 190 sheep or even pick the swakane as his hunt area. You can't stockpile game. The Umtanum is a prime example of that.

And when the bio's believe those areas can afford a hunt like that they will change the season to reflect it, that is why they make changes every three years. Right now its not a good idea and I stand behind them. :twocents:
In my opinion 25 late modern tags in the Entiat is too many too, I'd like to see it reduced to 10, 15 at the most.

To take it one step further, I would like to see one unit out of the Methow and one in Chelan change to permit only. It would be nice to see the trophy potential of a migratory area with limited pressure.
-
Theres a krap load of deer in the Methow if you listen to Fitkin. The Alta unit will never be the same with the additional special permits the past couple years.

I was out shopping for some gear earlier today, gave into temptation and bought 2 more for Westside Elk. I'm still no where near last years purchases.
-
Haven't bought a single one yet. Money is just too tight, and I am just that unhappy with their money grabbing
-
It looks like some of the big block buyers are starting to purchase. :(

Seems like pretty big jump for the mule deer raffles. Maybe an error?

My guess is that the tickets were purchased by locals.
As in previous years, the SE raffle ticket has a lot of out of staters. Probably Idaho.

I just have my fingers crossed that the winners are residents who only bought a few tickets. ;)

My old man went into a store in Vancouver WA today to buy his raffle tickets and he said the lady that sold them to him said 2 guys came in before him, one spent $17,000 and the other $15,000 on tickets. I couldn't believe it how could anyone spend that much? With people going that big I don't think i will buy any next year.
As for me 10 moose, 10 goat tickets. That's all I could stand donating
-
It sure looks like the raffles are turning into another auction. >:(
It seems those people from CA bought a bunch of sheep tickets.
Whitetail deer looks like it could be bought cheap.

I picked the same as last year as I didn't buy any last year either. :twocents:
-
Is the 13th the cutoff? I bought six tickets, and after looking again at my results from last year I'm having a hard time purchasing anymore. Guess it just takes one.
-
Yes, tomorrow is the deadline. I have a hard time believing it will take them until mid-Aug to notify the winners like the regs say though. They turned the special permit dwg around much faster than that and it is a lot more involved than this one.
-
Just tried to buy some but the system was down for updating, nice timing guess I saved some money
-
The total sales are up through about noon yesterday so as long as someone didn't buy a huge lot of tickets, you can calculate your odds of drawing one of these tags. Good luck to all, I hope some of our members get a few of these tags. :tup:

I wish i had extra cash at the time i would have got more too.
-
I also gave in and bought more yesterday. Who knows, maybe its my turn to win.
-
Anyone get a phone call from WDFW yet? I've been out camping, they must not leave messages because I didn't have one on my phone from them.
-
Did they already draw?

I know the goat tag winner was called.
-
Are you sure he is not pulling your leg it's awful early for the raffle draw still. And nobody else seems to of gotten a phone call
-
Raffle was conducted last Thursday.
-
I didn't get a call so it probably hasn't been done yet.
-
Raffle has been completed and they are contacting people. Goat raffle guy was contacted along with three deer tag holder that I know of. Should be a good year for some great bucks.
-
I'll hang by my phone !
-
i for the first time since i was 12 will not be buying tags of any kind for myself, i bought my sons and also his permit fees which he drew none, butmy son will be huntn and i am taking a kid out named kellan he just past hunters ed and is all jacked up to go huntn, so i figure if my son gets his deer and kellan gets a deer it will be a damn fine year for me. even if i dont get to actually hunt for myself, i would rather watch a young hunter get their animals anyways :tup:

NOT ONE ticket this year.

my home phone is out , try my cell phone Marjore . :chuckle:

looks like I wasted my money again. Brad hasn't called me yet. If he drew moose he will have to change his name and go into hiding because there will be a hanging. :chuckle:

Did anybody get close?
The best I did was #13 for Western Elk.
Some of the winners bought a LOT of tickets. I think the Eastern Elk winner bought 2600. :yike:

-
the closest I got was like 300... how do you know how many tickets the winner had bought?
-
My closest was 364! That was a close one!
-

Plug the winning number into the search. Then cut and paste the results into Excel.
-
I checked again, Eastern Elk winner bought over 2800.
-
What? They bought 2,800 tags... at $5 a piece? :yike:
-
2800+ at $6 each.
$16,800 is still less than the Gov tag holder normally pays.
-
wow the guy that won three deer had 1400 three deer tags and 1700 mule deer tags...
1400*17+1700*6= $34000... wish I had that kinda money to waste on raffle tickets.
why not just buy the governors tag if you are going to spend that much anyways?
-
if 37 people drop out im in ! lol

I'm not sure but he probably could have bought all 3 Gov Deer tags for less than that price. :DOH: :yike: :dunno:
-
I would really like to see WDFW limit the number of tickets to 5 per person in each category.
-
Socialist.... :chuckle:
-
I agree slinger. I went from 4-5 to 2 this year. A guy can always get lucky but with the chances it almost not even worth it.
I was 149 for goat and 4 something for south central.
-
My buddy said he got the BT one because somebody turned it down.... :dunno:
-
It's only a blacktail though............... :dunno: :chuckle:
-
How the hell could you turn down a raffle tag :yike:
-
It's only a blacktail though............... :dunno: :chuckle:
Thats the tag I wanted also, the closest I came was 150 for blacktail and a lot further down the line for east elk and southeast.
-
How the hell could you turn down a raffle tag :yike:
Broken leg.
Knee replacement surgery.
In prison.
In patient 4 month mental institution hiatus (my first guess).
:chuckle:
-
In prison is the only of those 4 that would keep me from using one of those tags!!! :chuckle:
-
Hit 177 and 167 for the two I put in for, unfortunate they have become cheap gov tags for the wealthy.
-
Holy Crap! Just checked my results.......Do you think the Mule Deer winner will pass on his tag?
You guys can't lynch me if I win by default, correct?

Rafflemule-
I have just the opposite luck. For the North Central Washington Big game I had ticket #1585 out of 1586 tickets sold.
Talk about bad luck.... :bash:
-
Brad your a brave man for even buying raffle tickets. You would of been hung for sure
-
#2 OMG!!! Maybe that guy will hand down his tag like the blacktail guy did :chuckle: Or maybe not because he probably spent some money on it and not just 6.00 :chuckle:
-
Your buddy is full of s@#t because I did not turn down the drawing. :bash:
-
Were you number 1? We need more of story then that.
-
no story to tell you get drawn you go hunting
-
That makes no sense. If someone turned it down and his buddy got it. Your "if you get drawn you go hunting" is kinda out the window :chuckle:

x1000, If you don't say hey I drew the tag. Then how are we supposed to know who is telling the truth :dunno: You don't come on and call people out without facts. If you say hey guys the story is not true. I drew the tag and I have it. Then you seem reasonable. If you just say someone is full of crap without anything to back it up. It makes you look bad and rude :tup:
If YOU DID DRAW THE TAG. Congrats hope you get a dandy. Don't be to quick to hate life's to short man :tup:

It wasn't meant to hurt. It's to try to help you understand. :chuckle: Be polite :tup: Don't just come on and start stuff. This may be the net, but still a private site. Being rude will get you no place but shown the door out.

Whats funny to me is I assume your defending someone you dont even know

You do sound like an S.O.B. :bash:

I am not deffending anyone. Not saying anyone is right or wrong. We don't know the facts. It's my job as a site moderator to keep the site clean. Keep people from taking personal shots and causing problems. I will stick up for anyone on this site against people that just have a attitude. Which you seem to have. I have asked very nice for you to be polite. It needs to stop.

I don't know this S.O.B. but I understand he is upset with some one lying about his tag. But I don't like the fact of members suggesting violence against another member. That is just wrong!
-
:chuckle: He does not mean his butt kicked :chuckle: He means a time out from the site.
suggesting violence :chuckle: Now that just cracks me up. No violence or butt kicking going on I can promise that.
He may be upset but there is no reason to have a poor attitude or cause a problem :tup:
-
It just sounded like a comment I would see on MM not here.

What is MM? Bro, relax; The guy was being disrespectful to a fellow patriotic member, and your going to back him up with a comment about saying I want to be violent about it? Since when is a good old fashioned fist fight an act of violence? Some of the best friends and fellow warriors I've ever met were over an "ass kicking." Ever heard the saying, "lets take it to the tree line?" Sometimes that is necessary in life for proper attitude adjustments.
-
Ok ok, we can all get back on track now :chuckle:
-
:chuckle: No worries.

lol agreed, no one is throwing down. It was just a figure of speech...an attitude from a former lifestyle so to speak :chuckle:. Just the culture I grew up with. Carp, your the man. Thank you for being civilized. It's been long day and Ive had a couple. Sometimes that makes me feel a little froggy :chuckle: I get a little disgruntled when I see people be rude to kind folks.
-
:chuckle: No worries.

No I'm not even a member over there. I have seen some of the threads and prefer not to be involved in the drama.

AMEN TO THAT!!!! I am not and never will be. To many people need some pills to calm them down over there :chuckle:

I just didn't want this thread to deteriorate into one of those. I didn't mean to ruffle anyones feathers but it looked like it was heading in the wrong direction. :sry: Just like how things stay pretty civil on here. :tup: :twocents:

Nope that was plan from the start. To keep it civil and not let it turn bad.
No worries all cool :tup:

lol MM is ruthless.

I see the Blacktail winner bought 108 entries :tup: Hope he gets a nice forkie :tup:
-
Haha, this thread sure went sideways.
I'm for limiting the amount of tickets you can purchase to 20. It's highly unlikely though due to lost revenue. The Eastern Elk winner bought over half of the total tickets purchased. We need to have these big lot purchasers get burned a few times to cure the issue.

I actually bought 110 raffle tickets ;) :tup:

I'm pretty sure you're not my buddy.... You better make sure YOUR tag isn't going to the wrong house with a different name on it.... He played me the message the woman left..... :chuckle: So don't be a dick...... :tup:

This sob guy has been here since 2008 and only 58 posts... Sounds like he's just starting trouble and should be banned.. Congrats to the winners. They should limit how many tickets can be bought. But this is Washington....

I think that is S.O.B's intent, he has yet to come out and say he is the one that actually has the tag yet he has led everyone to believe he is, without saying it.
