Curious about everyone perspective here. We have an outfitter in WY who’s willing to donate a hunt to us, but his units take at minimum 5 points to draw. Not sure I’ve seen many raffles use a hunt like that.

But I’m curious if the points aspect of this would prevent you from buying a raffle ticket?

I think it would prevent quite a few people. My opinion.

You definitely have a smaller pool of people that qualify. Personally, I would be out of the running. Unless there was a Disabled Vet option. Then there are multiple ways you drum up a tag.
 
Get the g&f departments to donate a block of points...like say 5 preference points, but make them universal.

Good for any specie, in any quantity.


Your coffers would be over run.

That would make it a lot more difficult. If I was going to buy 2-3 tickets for a sure thing I might buy 1.

Guess you could gamble on the random…

I'd buy the ticket, keep the rifle if I won, pass on the hunt if I had to burn points.
 
If you can get an outfitter to donate even if it takes 5 points to draw, I say go for it. There will be enough interest in it for sure. As far as guns go just don’t go cheap crap. I will buy tickets just to support the cause, but a nice gun with cool caliber would be sweet . I’m ready to spend some money. I’ll buy tickets at the sheep show too if any are left by the time I get there, can’t make it until Saturday
 
Just food for thought, how many folks on here want a guided pronghorn hunt? We very well may not be your market for a that hunt. Most of us have experienced a pronghorn hunt and really don’t need a guided one.

Now a AZ or NM one? That is way more enticing than a WY one. It may get a lot more action for a NM landowner vouchers.

I know I don’t need a guide but have used one just for the access to private. That being said it sure was a fun relaxing hunt with all the meals being ready for you. Plus I made new friends
 
I think tags on ranches that produce 80"+ pronghorn every year are north of $5k pretty easily.

Obviously, quality will determine price.
Bet if he picks one up a cheaper one for a raffle, buyers wouldn’t care as long as it was a NM tag. Lots of guys would drop coin off that alone.
