[QUOTE="Petras, post: 494603, member: 216"] The purpose of these special allotments isn't to even the playing field for everyone.... It's to generate as much revenue as possible for the NP organization... As much as it sucks for those who can't afford to try to buy one of these tags (this includes me), the true intent and purpose of the tag is being fulfilled... You mention running a raffle again... I'll say it again, it takes a lot of people to run a good successful raffle... 2500 tickets is 250 books of 10 tickets... figure an average volunteer MIGHT be able to sell 2-3 books of tickets each... you are looking at 80 volunteers just to sell tickets.... yes I know that there are some people who are more active and better at peddling tickets but interacting with people and trying to get them to buy something isn't something that many people like to do.... I have personally looked into running a gun/item raffle to help out a NP group that I volunteer with. It's kind of a daunting task just to get it set up... then you have to track every single thing about the whole process. It's not an easy chore and requires a lot of people... Lets look at this from another angle... Asking a NP group to do things the same way as the game and fish isn't really fair... The resources available to the 2 groups are VASTLY different... [/QUOTE]
