Raffles and lottery drawings are a great way for American hunters to have the kind of hunting experience only a billionaire can afford. Many hunts are rather exotic for mountain sheep, elk, or other Western species, while the Pure Michigan jackpot is the kind of game that most of us hunt: whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, and more. Best of all, it only costs $5 to enter, apply as many times as you wish, and the winner can transfer the tags. Hooaah, Michigan! Here are the details from The Outdoor Wire.

A black bear tag is just one of the cool offerings in this raffle.
