    Default Would you pay $100

    for a 1 in 250 chance at a fully guided Alaska Brown Bear hunt. (not black bear, brown bear!!). You probably have to pay for the tag (About $500) and get to the start city (somewhere in Alaska) and of course taxidermy is your problem.

    hypothetical for data for a FNRA project I"m working on.

    These usually sell for about $12,000 to $20,000. (depending on hunt, what's included, etc)

    thanks,

    No. Because I like bears(and sometimes they eat Hippys which is cool in my book), if it was mowing down Canada Geese you but I would

    $100 is a decent amount of money for a lot of people right now. make it 1/1000 chance and tickets $25 a piece.

    you will have a lot of guys buy up $100 in tickets and have the same odds, some will buy more, some guys less.

    I would buy one or two $25 tickets, but not sure I would justify a $100 ticket. although the odds are really good.

    I would also think the tag could be included. taxidermy would be at own cost as well as the airfare.



    please don't shoot BigBear though...we all like him and he really isn't threatening. he has done a good job staying out of my trashcan for the last week so i think he is making improvement. please give him more time.

    If I could afford even getting there, then I'd drop $100 in a heart beat.

    Hell, I've been applying for jobs with less of a chance than that.

    No because I like bear. I tend to pack heavy when I'm walking in the mountains rather than my usual mouse gun but I've really enjoyed the bears I've encountered. It's probably because they ran away from me. (That's also why I'm here to post.)

    How about this question:

    Would you pay $100 for a chance in a lottery to use a high capacity Saiga 12 against a flock of Canadian geese?

    I'd buy a few ticket for that.
