Hunt Gigest

Thanks, it’s good to get my yearly reminder of the two years I missed sheep and elk out of the way. Now I don’t have to get depressed about it again for another year.

No more Fundraiser Tags; they've been given away for auctions
They were forced to remove them, someone complained about it being a form of gambling. They took the tags and placed them as auction tags because of it. So to obtain the funds that were provided from the raffle tags.
 
Fund raisers tags had a issue with IRS and tax exemptions...
I believe there is a law suit over them..

That's the story being promoted by the people who make a killing off the auction tags. It needs verification from an "official source.'

Taking those tags and putting them in the draw for all hunters to have a chance would've been the right thing to do instead of giving them to the 1%.

BTW, who's your source?

One tag in the drawing wouldn’t create the revenue that the raffle tag created but putting it as an auction tag would, that’s why if went to an auction tag and it was the right thing to do because that money generated from that now auction tag will provide more opportunities for other individuals in the future draws/applications via more tags in other units or reintroduction of other units.
 
Right...so where are all these opportunities/ new tags in other units that were created by all the money generated from the raffle tags in years past?

If ALL tags were auctioned just think of all the opportunities that would create!

It takes away chances from 99% of regular hunters for an already difficult tag and gives it to the 1%. That's the bottom line, really.

As for the future, who can say for sure, however, the future right now says that most of us just lost a few rare chances.
