Seems like everyone is all for raffle tags. I’m curious, how does everyone feel about people selling those raffle tags? I know most of the time people that win the raffle tags sell them anyway. On most years there is a standing offer of $20k here in NM to start negotiations. I’m also curious, let’s say you drop $200 bucks on tickets and win. Do you sell for $20k, $20k that will likely never benefit any wildlife, or do you hunt it? No wrong answers. Just curious.
Capitalism and freedom despite their awesomeness do have shortfalls.
I don't like the idea of a raffle tag which was initially authorized to fiscally benefit conservation to be sold for personal gain, but if it were me to make that $19, 800, I'd be all over it. I feel more than a bit hypocritical saying that, but it is the truth.
Some states such as Idaho allow landowner tags to be sold (technically, access is sold to use it via trespass fee) and I have personal friends who make $10K off those deals with nothing more than a handshake. Easy money. I get it.
