LAST EDITED ON Jan-24-05 AT 08:49PM (MST)[p]Manny, there is no catch. I use a service similar to Cabela's. It runs me about 1500 bucks to have applications in all the western states. Its the only way I can apply for sheep everywhere possible.
It may not increase your odds, but if you don't apply, you won't ever draw. As a result of using my service, I have drawn Idaho moose, NM oryx, AZ coue's, MT mountain goat. I would not have been able to afford the applications on my own. I just have to make sure I have enough socked away for the most expensive tag, which is NM sheep-3k.
