So what unit are you looking to hunt in if you win the raffle bushcraft?  :dunno:

It has always made sense to me to wait until the special hunts drawing results are out before buying raffle tickets. I would hate to wind up with two oil tags in one year :o.

Has anyone ever won more than one special permit OIL in the same year?  Obviously the odds of such a multi-OIL miracle happening are exceedingly small, but I'm not sure it would be all that problematic unless one's time was severely limited, i.e., vacation days.  At a minimum and assuming a guy is in good shape and had knowledgeable hunting partners that could help glass, a sheep hunt in this state is about a three day deal (particularly the Cali's) since everyone knows where they are generally located and the bios are very helpful.  I imagine moose would be a few more days due to their preferred thicker foliaged habitat...unless one was holding out for a giant.  Goats could be as easy as a day hike if you just want to get one (particularly a nanny, which I vehemently disagree with taking), or a multi-month game of hide-and-seek if trying to go after one in particular with a bow...and still might not get it.   :'(

I met a guy out in the boonies who had drawn the Southeast or Northeast multi-animal raffle package AND a modern firearm big bull tag in the eastside unit that I hunt.   Wowser!  I asked him how in the world he managed to pull it all off and he said it was relatively easy with the help of bios and friends, the hardest hunt being the big bull hunt that he was on.  As an aside, he was quite possibly the happiest guy I've ever met.  ;) :chuckle:

Not much movement on the raffle sales, only at 1922.  Looking like your odds are pretty good right now.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I'm still waiting for my payoff to buy sheep tickets instead of goat tickets. :chuckle:

Did WDFW drop the traditional Monday morning raffle count update?  I know for a fact they can pull up the current quantity in a matter of seconds.  What gives???

The Northeastern raffle is looking very tempting (for the moose component).

It's April... simmer down.  We've got months to go.  All the raffles will have lots of investment.  There is no gimmie on any of them.
Tickets are the cheap part.
