Default 2018 Minister's Special Licence Raffle Tickets!

The 2018 Minister's Special Licence Raffle tickets will be going on sale on Thursday, January 11, 2018 at 8:30am. This year marks a change to the purchase of tickets namely; individuals may only purchase up to 100 tickets, per species, per day for the first 90 days of the ticket sales. On the 91st day (April 11) this will change and individuals can purchase as many tickets as they want.

This rule applies to all tickets sales, whether made on-line or over the phone. Remember that tickets are not transferrable. For a complete set of rules please visit www.afga.org.

Finally new rules so everyone has a chance at the sheep draw!

I got mine this morning! Website crashed so phoned in and was quick and easy!

First time in 2-3 years I've been able to get a sheep ticket!

Good luck everyone!

Thanks for posting just got mine.

Is it just me or do they not do a good job advertising this. Last year I found out after it was done. This is the first place I've seen it this year.

I am guessing from the stories I've heard they've never needed to advertise.

Me and the boys got some tickets. With the new rules, it's worth picking up a few!

Maybe sign up to their email list. Don't know if it works, but I know they have one.

You're probably close but that tells me that many of them have been supporting members of AFGA for quite a few decades, doing what they can to support conservation in Alberta in the best way they can . How about yourself ?

I wonder why there isn't more young people involved?.. oh.. that's right, it's much easier to complain than help

Wouldn't that be a direct result of poor recruiting? Us 30 somethings sure are a lazy bunch.

The Bonnyville chapter is filled with guys in their 20s and 30s. Most seats are held by guys in their 20s and 30s. But then again they put on a lot of family activities and have an active membership.

Lol .. those old geezers can still shout ? Sadly, that situation does happen as a lot of the older guys are pretty much set in their ways. New blood is certainly needed, and always welcome.
