"For the past 20 years, proceeds from the raffle have directly benefited wildlife and habitat projects. We are proud to say that 100 percent of the sales go to the Arizona Game and Fish Department," says John Koleszar, CFUSA President. "And what some may not know, it only takes one ticket to win. We've had people over the years who have only purchased one ticket and they have won the hunt of a lifetime! Who wouldn't want the chance to hunt 365 days almost anywhere in Arizona?"

This year's hunt permit-tag opportunities include three winners each for elk, pronghorn, bighorn sheep (2 desert sheep and 1 Rocky Mountain), and bison (1 Kaibab, 1 Raymond, 1 House Rock); two winners each for Coues' whitetail and mule deer; and one winner for turkey.
