Jason, this is a raffle.
Do you know of any fund raiser, company, etc... that would run a raffle so that more people buy tickets, but, they make less money??
How does that possibly make sense?
This is typical government thinking. Someone squealed about opportunity and a stupid decision was made.
We have won several VC raffles. We buy tickets because it is important to me. I know lots of people with new trucks every 5 years, all the toys that complain about how much it costs to buy a bunch of tickets.
They choose to spend their money on other stuff. I have never bought a new vehicle, I am careful with my finances, but, it I choose to buys multiple tickets.
How is it possibly good for VC to make less money on elk hunting. As it is now, the elk operation can look across the table at the day pass folks, the star gazers, the cross country skiers and all the other non solvent VC uses and say. Elk hunting makes money.
Why would you possibly want to be as big a failure as the rest of the ventures.
Beyond belief that anyone would even support it.
I could see an adjustment of how they do the raffle. Reduce it to 10 tickets and raise the price of the ticket. But to reduce the price of the ticket and set a limit of 1 ticket is just dumb.
It is the same as saying "we want to lose more money".
Meanwhile, VC almost does nothing to market the hunt.
They should have a different hunting show on the VC every year.
The VC is a jewel. It is a incredibly unique hunting experience.
for the price of one bull every year they could get advertizing from different hunting shows.
These guys would fall over each other to film a hunt on there.
This is why the government is always the least effective at running any kind of business.
I normally try to stay out of these type of posts in this forum, but, this is such an unbelievable level of stupid that I cannot help myself.
