How many Special Sheep Draw applications do you purchase??

[Weatherby Fan]

I bought 10 last year.......hopefully the money goes to good cause !

[hunter1947]

Just the one sheep application for me..

[Ozone]

You forgot zero in your poll

[40incher]

Yeah. Zero would be my answer as the money does not go where it was promised.

[ryanb]

Care to elaborate on that statement 40 incher?

I was under the impression that the money raised from this permit and the out of province one that was auctioned off went directly to enhancement for sheep in BC ? or at least I hope thats where it goes !

Maybe 40inchers knows something we dont ?

Ha ha. Indeed I did. I know that relatively small number of BC hunters put in for this draw.

I too was under the impression that the revenue generated from these applications was used to enhance sheep habitat/populations in the province. Perhaps someone in the "know" can elaborate?

[dingdongdenny]

leh?i thought you were only allowed 1

[bighornbob]

Yeah. Zero would be my answer as the money does not go where it was promised. Not sure where you get your information but you should Check out the following report http://www.hctf.ca/communications/reports-and-publications/investing-in-conservation

Why would you put in 10 draws when you can only get 1 extra sheep? Are the only advantages of this draw the earlier dates and no curl restrictions?
Doesnt seem worth it to me..

Its like lottery tickets I guess,I guess your odds of drawing one would change a little if you knew how many tags were being sold but I'm not that concerned about it,if I get drawn great if not no big deal !

I want to spend my money on something since I don't smoke,play bingo and rarely drink !

So if I'm helping out the sheep in BC it's all good by me !

[Moose Guide]

I put in 0 for this draw

Sounds good to me! I personally would rather spend the extra money on LEH's on gas to go get more animals, but if the money does go toward conservation then its a win win :D

I think it raises around $20,000 a year which means you have about 1 in 1333 chances of winning. Which means the kamloops lake ram is cheaper and better odds.

Yes, but hunting bighorns during the rut would be an experience.

[blackbart]

Usually about five for me. None last year though.

No he doesn't. He also wrong.
