I mean there's a youtube video of a guy who paid for a sheep tag and a guy who drew the once in a lifetime sheep tag in the same unit it's called the duke hunt and it's a good example of what hunting can become with a pay to play mentality. They bring along the guy who drew the tag and tell him "you'll get your ram once we get my ram" as if it has already been decided that Mr Moneybags gets the bigger ram because he paid more. I'm guessing the only reason the guy who drew the tag was invited along was so that they could hold him back until the rich dude was finished shooting 8 rounds at "his" ram.
You need to do your homework

Many many states have
Governors tags
Commissioner’s tags
Super tags
Super raffles
Auctioned tags etc

Here’s a list of all of the places that offer opportunities above and beyond what you get from a basic draw
