Less than a thousand. Only time I really spend money is when there is a auction with HOWL, or a hubting organization then I'll spend money.

Usually zero as I most often forget to go out and buy tickets. We can't buy them online here. It's considered gambling I guess.

I know Washington gets shit on a lot for certain things but that has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

I am broke so I spend a hundred to two max a year. Most years is probably less than a hundred.

Not for hunts, but for optics. Maybe a $100. Whenever I see a raffle for NL Pure or a top tier Zeiss, I’ll throw in a $20. Have never won. lol

My nephew has had real great luck entering raffles. He has won several shotgun, rifles, reloading press, hard travel gun cases, wildlife paintings, and many other outdoor type items. I think he has only spent in the neighborhood of $25,000. :) Fact.

You can't win if you don't play is a double edged sword. My budget can't take much abuse but I have champagne taste.
RMEF gets 200-400 between mailed draws and banquet night. Have won 2 pistols and $500 gift card to Cabela's.
A heart breaker was a recent Sportsman Alliance MEGA drawing. $100 ticket, just 1 because that's a hundred bucks! I looked through winner list and might have won 7 day African safari. Last name was off by one in a common mistake. By the time I went home and checked my number I had made up my mind that I won. NOT!!! Would have been so wild.

I throw a couple hundred bucks at various raffles and super tags.

I figure the gamble is worth a small shot at hunts I could not otherwise afford.

I buy a couple super tags. But that's about it.

I spend a good bit on gun raffles through a couple different local organizations and friends kids sportsman clubs.
I did win a pistol that pretty much broke me even over the last 5 years.
Sitting on a dozen gun raffle tickets now from the sportsman club my buddies son is in.

Depends on the odds vs regular draw tags for the same species where I want to hunt. Lately, raffle odds have been baaaaad where I’ve been interested.
