Super Tags?

[Buckbrush]

When we gonna find out?

 

[mdbrown]

I’m sure they haven’t notified anyone
Because they haven’t called me yet
?
I’m dreaming

 

[DownThePipe]

I heard they have to check their programming again to make sure non residents only get up to 10%.

 

[Buckbrush]

Good grief

 

[runamuk]

Winners will be notified by June 10

 

[DeerMadness]

Good grief

Don't get too excited you are in a <1% chance of winning.

 

[Rhansen]

Don't get too excited you are in a <1% chance of winning.

It is much much less than 1%

You know how many tickets he bought?

 

[DeerMadness]

You know how many tickets he bought?

Nope but the odds are terrible. I put 3 entries each year. If that doesn't ever win at least I didn't blow through the cash.

 

[Buckbrush]

I know the odds are horrible guys. I buy a few every year.

 

[Blank]

Can't win if you don't play. One try for each, and besides, it's for a really good cause - I hunt a lot of ACCESS YES properties every year!

 

[bigbull]

You know how many tickets he bought?

Unless he bought several hundred tickets his odds are well below 1%

 

[mdbrown]

I drew Montana moose this year with less than 1% odds this year
Keep up the hope

 

[sticksender]

Almost everyone who wins the tough draw tags and raffle tags does so with very slim odds. The "secret" is to apply everywhere every year. Or the alternative....budget a hundred grand annually for raffles and use the Casey Brooks approach. Either way, when you do get that call, it makes it all seem worthwhile.

 

[JPickett]

you can buy one of these tags. i actually know a guy who did (owns a pretty big Idaho company) looked up the historic number of tickets bought every year for the combo super tag. bought that many. technically i guess he still could have not drawn it but with half the names in the hat being yours its going to happen. dude has some money and could afford to gamble. i guess the reasoning is its still cheaper than buying all those tags guided individually. don't remember the year. i know it was a while ago.

 

[sticksender]

Interesting though, that it would've cost 90,000.00 to buy half the tickets in last year's first combo drawing. So, 90k at risk with 50-50 odds. Year's ago though, they sold far fewer tickets for the supertags. Now, every year, you have several guys trying to do what your friend did, all across the board on the various tags, making it's much less feasible.

 

[JPickett]

its been a while and i don't know the numbers. some guys 90k is a drop in the bucket. whats spent on governors tags each year in other states for example and thats just one tag. is there only one super tag combo? i thought is was a few they gave out. if its more then one then odds would be above 50/50 if your buying the pot

 

[sticksender]

There's no limit on the number of tickets sold in the Idaho Supertag raffles. They raffle off 2 combo's. Each ticket is 20.00, and unlimited in number sold. Your ticket for the first raffle is no good for the second raffle. Sales start from scratch for the second raffle.

 

[Weiserbucks]

I buy a handful of deer tickets every year, there's a deer tag I really want and super tag would make my day!

 

[Rsully661]

Should have been notifications today

 

[Blank]

Gee, and to think I waited at home all day by the phone for nothing!!!

 

[bigbull]

I know the winner of the AZ deer raffle tag two years ago dropped several thousand dollars on tickets and ended up winning. It's considered a tax deductible donation so even if he didn't draw he still saved money on taxes. Even better he won and got to write it off.

 

[Blank]

A lot of people think this, and include it in their charitable deductions. Unfortunately, your info is incorrect. Buying raffle tickets for tags from the various conservation organizations has been determined to not be tax deductible many times, and if audited, they will gladly explain the error of your ways to you! If you purchase the tag at a banquet event, the value donated ABOVE the actual tag value is deductible.

You can use it to offset any W-2G winnings you have to declare tho, and that might work to some peoples advantage.

 

[bigbull]

Not saying it's right or wrong but that's definitely what he did. And yes you are correct, the guys that buy the tags certainly use it. Regarding value above the tag value I don't think they mind when they have to exclude the $50 deer tag off the value.

 

[smokepoll]

Anyone hear of/know any winners? Waited for that 208 area code call all day as well

 

[125nontypicalforky]

Shockingly they have forgotten to call me!

 

[BPKHunter]

Miss when they literally pulled the tickets from a barrel. Son of mine pulled 3 in 2 years. As with all good things, they change.

I too have been waiting for my call, though I'm sure my son pulled all the luck out of our family back in '06/'07.

 

[IDbucks]

Any word on the draws?

 

[runamuk]

Was told today that they are a few days behind and should notify winners this week.

 

[smokepoll]

Well thats good news. Maybe keep hope alive a little longer.

 

[twsnow18]

Hopefully no bait and switch this go around. You drew a supertag, actually, no you didn't ?

 

[Rhansen]

Is the super hunt drawing held by the same company that holds the actual big game drawing?

 

[Handloader]

Was told today that they are a few days behind and should notify winners this week.

Super tags or controlled drawing?

 

[customweld]

Super tags or controlled drawing?

Super tags. Rumor is floating around that CH results will be delayed due to this.

Shocking..
Hopefully by the end of the month

 

[Rsully661]

Gonna be another July release it seems.

 

[BPKHunter]

At least there is still hope.

 

[Rsully661]

Results posted

 

[sticksender]

For the draws you mean?

 

[Rsully661]

For the draws you mean?

Super tag

 

[Calbuck]

No super tag for me

 

[mdbrown]

No supper tag for me either
I’m thinking they owe me at least one controlled tag
Hopefully they see it that way ?

 

[Blank]

I'm shocked that I didn't draw a Super Tag. I even bought TWO chances!!

 

[125nontypicalforky]

How do you check? I mean I’m sure I won!

 

[Blank]

Just log on to check your applications. It will show what you applied for, and say Not Selected if unlucky.

 

[BPKHunter]

Mine simply says "paid". It does not say Selected or Not Selected.

 

[Rackhunter]

Mine just says active.

 

[devobrodie]

No luck!

 

[Blank]

Just look over, one column to the left.

 

[Rackhunter]

No luck here

 

[125nontypicalforky]

Thanks! No luck here
