There is a reason that 2200 OTC tags are sold each year and 3800 put in the draw for 438! Its a very special tag yet guys say it should be treated no different and hold no more value to them. Thats a joke!!
Please explain why you feel a sheep tag is special ?

Don't forget that near 120,000 licenses were sold in Alberta for 2013... Do the math, nothing special here.... Less than 2% of our community purchased the OTC tag if your numbers are correct.... And less than 3% applied for this special draw, again if your numbers are correct.
