Goodbye 500$

I am in full support of the Raffle tags and love the money that it brings in for conservation but.... I do not see the point in even trying or buying a few tickets. The chances of drawing with the tags being gone after by some wealthy individuals that are buying up over 50% of the proceeds to tilt the drawing odds in there favor makes me not even interested. If I ever get to the point in life to be able to afford to do the same I would, not knocking the fellas that are paving the way for conservation its just hard for me to donate knowing I have no chance of drawing...

That does not always work out in a tag. It does however help fill the coffer for sheep management My point is sometimes the average joe cashes in bigtime on these type of raffles.
I do put in for the OIL's. Well good on you as that is *censored* and looks like you killed one hell of a sheep! Like I said Im not knocking the raffles I just dont believe in luck lol...
You don't have to break the bank but one $11.50 raffle tag was the winner out of 3802. Probably as good or better of odds than the cost and 20 points I have in OILS that I've never been drawn for.....
