tags for the state resident general lottery.  One cannot win a tag and draw one in the lottery during the same year – which would pertain to a resident – but one could, being a non resident, win a tag every year by winning the Auction or Raffle that the stated organizations offer.  This gives a different meaning to “pay hunting” in my book!  Should this be allowed?  Moreover, this does not count towards anyone’s once in a lifetime for either residents, and, well, non-residents.  Is this right?  I seldom hear of “when” any of these tags are being offered to the public for a fair chance to participate in a raffle or auction with no restrictions in access or opportunity for chances to win one of these tags.  Feel free to comment as I believe several things with this law need to be tweaked and changed for the betterment of North Dakota and its residents!  I have several letters from the NDGF that I wrote to them about this matter and will share with anyone wanting to view them.  I also have in excel form all applicants, winners, and monetary amounts since this has been held the past few years.The way I honestly feel about it is that I have never drawn a tag for either Moose or Elk so I have had no opportunity to hunt them being a resident let alone having multiple opportunities and not being a resident!HonkerhermsJeff</blockquote>
