[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 1549946, member: 28854"] First, I'd be checking with ID officials to see if this outfitter is on the up and up, as well as to do some checking to see that the contest was legit. I would also ask for written paperwork from them BEFORE trying to draw the tag saying exactly what you're getting for free for winning the contest IF you draw the tag. Unfortunately, there are shysters out there just like everywhere else and this could be one of those situations that even if it's on the up and up there could be a number of added costs to the hunt if it even transpires. A good example is an outfit in south Texas that runs a monthly contest for a "free" hog hunt if your email entry is selected. The scam was/is that essentially everyone that enters is sent an email back saying they're the winner and will need to pay a number of fees like cleaning, mandatory tips to the staff, etc. The Texas AG shut the operation down due to complaints, but before long different family took over and immediately followed the same type of scam and I believe the state is still working on getting it closed down again as the complaints have started piling up again.
