Yeah that money is being spent wisely No they ask for money. I asked for a letter last year so I could use a work volunteer day and haul water with my truck and trailer. They said they would rather I donate money. Way better off to donate to Wildlife Waterworks Dan does great work and all the money is used for wildlife. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's all right there. Thanks @twigsnapper!! Here it is again, for those who missed it. If you follow that link, there is a year-over year accounting of the projects and how much money was allocated.

bonecollector Report post Posted March 19, 2024 I used to think like a lot of guys on this forum until I was invited to attend a monthly meeting of one of the wildlife groups. Man it opened my eyes quite a bit and changed my way of thinking. These projects are not cheap to do and a lot goes into the planning and getting approvals for the projects. It also feels good to volunteer on these projects with the sheep society, meeting a lot of great people and going around the state seeing new country and places I probably wouldnt ever go to. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You said you have 28 points for antelope and 25 for bighorn….there are hunts you could draw for antelope and I believe there are bighorn tags you could draw as well with those point totals. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For bighorn sheep all the applicants for all the hunts are pooled together for the bonus pass (not by hunt number like other species). With only 25 points he probably will never have max points and never be guaranteed a tag. He will just have to get lucky or out live everyone with more points than him.

To many points to waste on archery goat, and I will look into the big horn. Trphyhntr was say I believe 25 or 26 points for down at the border. Hopefully deer, 7pts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redman Report post Posted March 19, 2024 So if the same amount of revenue is generated from a raffle, I am having a hard time supporting the current auction structure. Since I was planning on winning the Powerball this week, I better hurry up and purchase the few remaining tags! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the problem, raffle tags don’t raise nearly as much as the auction tags….. and the commission has no concrete plan to replace the lost revenue.
