I don't have 195k for an Auction Elk tag, but I did have 50 bucks to spend on two raffle tickets. I had the good fortune to draw the Super Raffle Elk Tag for 2007.
While some don't agree with these tags sales, there can be a positive impact on wildlife from the money raised. Whether delivering much needed water to dry tanks or repairing fences for ranchers that elk graze their pastures. We hunters benefit from the funds these tags raise and from the volunteers that put in their time making it all work.
I look forward hunting with family and friends, Tim Pender and Matt Mullins this summer. I've used the liberal season this tag allows to enjoy the outdoors to its full extent while gaining a much better understanding of the people and process that goes into these wildlife projects.
I encourage everyone go online and buy a ticket or two for the 2008 AZ Super Raffle. You never know when it will be your turn!
