Deer and elk raffle winners and the auction hunt winner will be able to hunt over several management units between September 1 and November 30, 2000. Winners may also harvest a deer and/or elk with general or controlled season tags during authorized seasons, in addition to filling their raffle or auction tag. The bighorn sheep raffle hunt winner will receive a tag valid for any hunt area with authorized tags from August 19 through October 24, 2000.

Proceeds from the deer and elk raffle and auction hunts will be used by the Access and Habitat Program to fund wildlife habitat and hunter access projects throughout the state. Money raised through the bighorn sheep raffle hunt will be used specifically for bighorn sheep management, including trapping and transplanting, disease research and monitoring, and habitat improvement.
