Just donated another $50 to the Retirement Allotment fund. The very definition of a "happy little accident."Just an FYI guys, the match is on donations to the Retirement Allotment fund found at the link here: https://www.bighornsheep.org/donate/
Though we do love our raffle ticket sales too!
While you're at it, do both!

Raffle tickets bought. Retirement Allotment Fund donation made. Thanks for this thread and the links.
I’m in the raffle game now! Strategizing my silent auction plan, went a little buck wild last year and likely going to go with the more focused strategy this year.
Win them all seems like a solid strategy
I needed a shopping for everything I bought and won last year at the rendezvous.Win them all seems like a solid strategy

Sounds like me at our RMEF banquet last year. I now understand why the open bar was so cheap very smart strategy on their end.
I don’t even drink, I have no excuses

Only 18 more donors at $25 or more gets RMBS $500 in match from the great Big Fin... who wants to step up and help us keep wild and domestic sheep as far apart as possible through allotment retirements?!
These funds are 100% restricted to allotment retirement funds

Brother that sounds great unfortunately/ fortunately I leave for Africa for 2 weeks May 2nd. I'm gonna try hell or high water to make it happen in 2025 hopefully I can still get that drink.
Sure, and it’s probably worth exactly what you pay for it.

I'm in for a few raffle tix and a donation. May the fourth be with you
There is no limit, but our odds are WAY better than any other state "governor's tag" raffles. We are the only state I'm aware of that limits the number of tickets a person can purchase (to 25). I am aware of one state sheep raffle where the winner purchased $40,000 worth of tickets and one of the losers purchased $60,000. Great, they made $100,000 from 2 customers, but doesn't really conform to my idea of raffles giving everyone a chance.

Glad they get the donations, but I'm not sure why someone with 60k to blow on tix doesn't just go buy a Canadian tag.
As far as sales data, percentage of tix per species is all I'm really looking for, I want to see how many other loonies spend most of their money on pronghorn tickets lol

First of sir I'm no looney
. When I bought a few a couple weeks ago they were numbered #440-#443. I'm assuming that meant they'd sold 443 pronghorn tickets up to that point.Pronghorn are the best odds by far out of the 3.
Rough numbers when I bought tickets last night.
4400 ram
1400 billy
450 pronghorn
