July 10: Arizona Big Game Super Raffle

Downstream Events Calendar June 2022The Arizona Game and Fish Commission annually awards the organization Special Big Game Tags for seven species — bighorn sheep, elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, pronghorn, bison and turkey. Raffle tickets are available for $5 to $25 each, depending on the species, and ticket sales go to on-the-ground conservation.

This month, seven lucky winners will receive a pair of binoculars from Vortex Optics. Place multiple orders and receive additional chances to win. The winners will be drawn on or before June 5 and posted to the Arizona Big Game Super Raffle website.

The deadline to enter the raffle is Sunday, July 10, at 10 p.m. (Arizona time). There is no limit to the number of raffle tickets you can order. The names of the winners will be drawn July 20.

In the 16-year history of the raffle, more than $9.2 million have been raised for wildlife and wildlife management in Arizona. Last year’s event generated $765,125.

Every dollar raised for each species through the raffle is returned to the Arizona Game and Fish Department and managed by the Arizona Habitat Partnership Committee for that particular species. With input from local habitat partners across the state and sponsoring organizations involved in the fundraising, project priorities are determined that will provide the most benefit to each species.
