Bowhunters of Wyoming Raffle Tag
Elk
Contributors to this thread:
Well it took some time, but BOW received a commissioners tag. The drawing will be held as soon as 400 tickets are sold. A link to website will be added soon. Thanks in advance!
Awesome Ron! Count me in!
Ron, is the tag good only for the 2021 season?
Oh Yeah!!
Thanks for the heads-up,
Robb
Wyoming Commissioner's tags you need to select which species between elk, deer, or antelope and select a particular hunt/area. The tags are just as if you drew a tag for a specific hunt, no extended season.
Jingalls, yes the tag is for the 2021 season.
Brotsky's Link
This link should take you directly to the BOW page to purchase the tickets. Although I have already purchased the winning ticket I’m sure BOW will still very much appreciate your support! :)
Just bought a ticket and a membership, thanks for the reminder Ron!
Maybe now I’ll have a second bull tag in my pocket when me and Hunt inevitably draw our tags in a few weeks!
Thanks for the link, Justin, but I'm not so sure you have the winning ticket.
Thanks for the link, Justin.
Ticket and new BOW member here!
Got mine purchased!
I'm already a Life Member, glad to see so many of you buying tix are also getting a Membership.
Thanks for the Link JB,
Robb
In for 2. Good luck everyone, but mostly to me.
Not to discourage those folks considering purchasing non-winning tickets, but I'm already picking out my elk area!
117 tickets sold in the last 24 hrs. Also 7 new memberships, thanks one and all. BUT.... odds are the winning ticket hasn't been sold yet. If you DON'T want to hunt Wy this fall just sit on your hands, but if you DO want to hunt in Wy put those same hands on that keypad and buy a ticket. .....Mike
I encourage everyone to buy the non winning tickets to support BOW. I always renew my BOW membership when I buy a raffle ticket. BUT I did not purchase a membership this time. ONLY because I renewed earlier this year. (I did not want to bring bad juju upon myself!)
You sure that’s the right link Brotsky? It took me to an RTIC cooler sale! ;-)
Thanks Ron. I’ll buy one or 2
Got my non-winner just now. Hopefully the fiddy bucks goes to a good cause.
TTT. Hurry up and buy those tickets guys so we can draw and I can start planning my elk hunt! Mike? How many tickets sold?
It always slows down after the initial rush. Sold 177 but the newsletter isn't to the members quite yet. Then another bunch will come in. ....Mike
In for a couple of chances. Good luck to everyone!
Spent some time in the field with last years winner. Really nice guy. He's not getting my tag this year.
Always in on this one. Glad to see the 10 ticket limit. Did the lady who bought all the tickets a couple years ago get what she was looking for?
The lady had bought the tickets for her husband and we never heard if he was successful or not.........Mike
How we looking going into this week?
Thanks,
Robb
I just bought 213-214 So they are selling pretty well
221 sold, tapering off but waiting on BOW newsletter, then more will come in. Then after the drawings a lot of people want the chance and away we go again. ....Mike
I'm surprised Bowsite couldn't sell out this raffle in 10 days.
In for one and a membership renewal.
Jethro maybe less hunters on Bowsite than you think? Seems like more and more threads about politics.
Since they still have some left will jump back in and grab 1 for my daughter. She just turned 13 so figure that would be a great way to celebrate.
Jethro
Also keep in mind, in most of the state/commission raffles used to cap at 200-250 sold. The organizations (due to supply/demand) have raised raffle caps. 400 is the new 200! Not faulting them. The primary objective is to raise money. Not ensure ticket purchasers have good odds!
How many tickets are sold?
Z, I am aware. I think my 3/400 odds are great for a prize like this tag. I also remember the year that 1 person bought almost all the tickets, how many guys were upset about being left out. Here is their chance.
I'm in for two tickets. Thanks for posting this.
Jethro. I agree! Great cause and I also remember when they were all scooped up.
In for tickets and membership. Love bowhunting in Wyoming...Happy to be going back!
Well I am in for a couple tickets and a wildlife/conservation plate and family membership...
In the home stretch, 305 gone and 95 left. Don't send any in now because Susan is making me sausage and biscuits and I don't want her running off to deal with tickets.....Mike

Just bought 2 tickets, best of luck!!!
In for 2, good luck to all.
About 50 tickets left, the BOW newsletter might have gotten to most residents today so we might get a bump. ....Mike
Sweet!
Thanks for the update,
Robb
Just picked up another one. How many left?
In for a few :^) !
Thanks for the opportunity to get back to one of my favorite states to hunt.
Best of luck all.
In for the win!!! Looks like 21 tickets left.
In just in time! Thank you BOW!
Would someone please buy up the rest of the tickets. I'm going broke buying just one more.
My ticket was number 385...
I just bought one so it’s to 14 or less
My last ticket is 392, only 8 left. Better hurry
Fini...... last 2 went at about 3:50 pm MST. Thanks everyone for playing...Are going to have an official draw the ticket on Fri. July 23...........JUST KIDDING..Day after tomorrow and it will be on facebook live. $20,000 towards wildlife, habitat, conservation and access in Wy. Thanks and good luck to me......Mike
mike how about access to the national forest wilderness areas for non res. you can hike, fish and camp but no hunting. outfitter welfare
Awesome! Good luck everyone! Hopefully a bowsiter pulls it and we get a good story!
Agreed Treeline. Hope it's one of us and we better get a story if it is.
What would the best unit be if you are selected? Has to be at least 5 best ones. :)
Good luck, all! Hopin it's a Bowsiter or a Bowsiter's kid!
Well you can call anytime now and let me know I won...
Good luck to all ticket holders...... Hopefully a Bowsiter wins.
What time today fellas? After getting slapped in the face by the Wyoming draw I’m ready to get it both barrels today :)
Drawing at 1:30 on Facebook
officially 1 minute late! LOL
Well damn! That was quick and uneventful. FOr me anyway . Calvin Mann is in luck though.
Can I trade the cooler for a cow tag?
Well it official Wyoming hates me. Congrats to the winners
Is Calvin a Bowsite guy? One of our guys got the AK bowhunter raffle, how cool if they also got the WY raffle!
Calvin is “the” Mann… congrats to him.
LMBO! Congrats to The Mann! : )
Lucky dog, Calvin....congrats!
Thanks to BOW for letting us dream again!
One day! Agreed...thanks for the opportunity and for all the good work you do fellas!
A few details, the ticket number was 396 and Calvin bought it 5/19, which was Wed. He had bought another ticket earlier, he is a bowsiter and heard about it on bowsite, Calvin just heard yesterday that he didn't draw his nonresident tag, well guess what ...miracles do happen. When Susan just talked to him he hadn't heard yet. Garrett Baker from Indiana won the soft sided cooler with ticket no. 46 and he is also a bowsiter. Paul Vice from Indiana won the 2 yr BOW membership with ticket 379, he is a bowsiter and a current BOW member. The tickets were drawn by Sgt Mullikin of the Sheridan Co. Sheriffs office and live on Facebook. Thanks one and all for your interest in WYOMING.......Mike
Thanks Mike! Love the Bowsite guys winning! Ron
Were there any other archery sites in the mix or was it just BS folks buying the tickets?
That’s awesome! Congrats to him.
Good going , Mike for putting this together.
Wow! It was a Bowsite sweep! Congrats to the lucky Bowsiters! : )
I guess we could just say it was a bunch of BS. I don't know of any other sites other than BOW and the Wyo G&F commission site. Tom Hurley, BOW secretary, had it on Facetube and maybe Youbook and possibly others. I don't know anything about that stuff. I guess BOW is on one of them.....Mike
Congrats to the winner. Glad my $$ at least went to a good cause!
Congrats to all the winners-------->
Thanks so much BOW for the yearly fun and daydreaming.
Good luck, Robb
Congratulations to the winners! Good to see bowsiters across the board! Thank you BOW for the opportunity!
Just to be clear, BOW raffles the tag and remember we could auction it off and get more money but then the little guy has no chance. BUT... the tag is given to us by a G&F commissioner and we never got one until very late in the game. Commissioner Mark Jolovich came through for us and we (you) owe a great debt of gratitude to him. ...Mike
Dang, When I saw the number I thought winner. Had the right numbers, wrong combo. 369. I'll just have to go with my 1 Wyo tag.
