T/S

You may be right on that bragging thing.

Your investments in raffle tickets: aggressive, I like it, better than waiting on 24 sheep points to pay off.

MY brag: I got both my grandsons at age 11 & 13 on deer, does back to back just shy of 250 yards, one shot each.  It was one of the coolest things I have ever been associated with it was all about the boys.   
thats something to be proud of! Love it when it’s about the kids. My son got his first buck when he was 9 3x3 with eyeguards. Maybe 80 yards. He still doesn’t like to shoot over a 100. He shoots great out to 400 when we target shoot but hesitates on animals. I’m sure he will get over it.

They should make all the quality tags a raffle, $13 per ticket.   :peep:

they pretty much already are. The only difference is you can only buy one chance. Odds are not good on either

I thought the raffles were supposed to be updated weekly 😒
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

It doesn’t. There are members on here who harass Wdfw each week to post new numbers.

In years past it said they would be updated weekly. It doesn't this year. It's not called harassing when they don't do what they say they're going to do when money is involved. You don't agree?

I would agree with you if I saw where they said they would do it. Just because they said they’d do it last year doesn’t mean they’re doing it again this year, especially when they no longer say they’re going to update weekly. Maybe there was a policy change.  :dunno:

By the way, they missed a week.

Why?

It’s not really a “raffle” when individuals are dropping 10’s of thousands of dollars on tickets.

For a variety of reasons, first I am not a fan of commercialization of wildlife.  It's a shared resource owned by the people in accordance with the north American model of wildlife management. Second I  will caveat my all out opposition with a low level of support IF they capped the number one person can purchase.
What is the intent of the hybrid raffle? To generate revenue? Well look at the averages over an extended period of time and cross reference them to the auction (do you see maximum roi).  Now the idea that any average citizen can win, this is absolutely true but statistically unlikely. If you believe in luck your odds are far better in Vegas slot machines than these "raffles". Sometimes Mr. Big loses ( i.e. you) and that's part of the game, that said if you ran the same drawing that you lost repeatedly you would eventually have won 70+% of the time.  (I'll write a little more when I get time)
Lastly, whether you agree with them or not, and with the long odds created by people "flooding" the raffles there is still tremendous value in playing the game.  (I'll expand on this as will if time allows) Go buy a few tickets if you have the extra funds.

I beg to differ sir.

Speaking from experience, I can tell you with a high degree of certainty that whenever there's a chance of not having your raffle ticket drawn first...it's most definitely a "raffle".  :chuckle: ;)
