Forester, I Thank You for making this Post.
Each Year I buy every child all of their Licenses, Tag's, Drawing's, Stamps and it cost's a good Penny.
My Daughter, at age 12, was Picked for the 1 Bull Tule Elk tag. The Tule Elk is on our wall. F&G placed her Picture on the Cover of the Big Game Hunting Regulations.
The Safari Club International (Sacramento) had her as a guest Speaker at a banquet. Many good things happened.
I completely forgot about the extra drawing tags until I read this; Your Post.
My Children chat among themselves as to what they wish to put in for and the extra drawing tags. I failed to know the latter. I told them to select 50 drawings or, as many as a couple $K's and I'll pay. They objected and said 50 was more than enough. I taught them to be Frugal but frankly, I sure thought they'd choose to use Dad's coins, but no, they didn't.
There's many things about our Regulations I could be upset about but, like some said, the money is to a good cause. I also feel indebted to F&G for so much we have received.
