Yes, hopefully the winners didn't just sign up having no avenue of paying for the tags. I thought it was very clear when they announced this that you had to buy the tags after winning. It would really suck it someone who couldn't figure out a way to pay took the opportunity away from someone who could. I know it happens a lot but it still sucks.
Oh yeah, that would be awesome! If I ever got a chance to hunt bison I'd really, really want to attempt it with my 1873 Springfield carbine .45-70. Those old black powder Sharps, Springfield's, Henry....have taken more buffs than probably all modern rifle/cartridges combined.
The opportunity at basically a once in a life time tag would be worth it to me. Whether I had to pay for the tag or not. Big horn sheep would be a dream for me.
Tough one as I LOVE archery elk!!! Elk, elk and elk 
Probably go Elk, Bighorn and Wolf (tho there are some huge mule deer up there and they might take the place of wolf)

Bighorn sheep would be a once in a life time hunt so that would be my first choice then elk and deer.
I would think with the elk hunts they most certainly could. I know I would pay more to apply for them, but our bull elk hunts are dang near a guaranteed thing too if you are willing to put some effort in. That makes it worth a lot more. Free place to hunt and in some cases dang near a free ODWC provided guide! That ups the ante of a lottery significantly! On the other hand, some of the less desirable deer hunts might be harder to fill if they up'ed the price too much.
Exactly! I know two guys that skipped the Elk hunt at the Wichita Mtn hunt because one needed to finish painting the house and the other didn't check with his wife before applying, and she put her foot down and said no.
That was in the once in 10 year draw period. They both still put in.
I know its just me, but I consider the wolf to be vermin, at the same level as a coyote. I wouldn't waste a lifetime tag on one of them.
I chose mountain lion as one of mine as I love hunting with hounds. The 20 some years I ran beagles on rabbits, and got to coon hunt behind hounds once have always been special in my mind.
That's awful.
I actually quit a job when I was 22 or 23 so I could go to Wyoming on a deer hunt. And I didn't even kill one. Probably not the brightest thing I've ever done.
I told my 1st Sergeant in the early 70's I'd go AWOL If I got drawn and he wouldn't give me leave.. Would have been a 7800 mile trip, but I'm that serious about getting it some day.
The way it looks, I'll die of old age dreaming about it.
Here's an idea! I know the ODWC has auctioned off a rifle tag for MCAAP in the past, why not do a lottery for one!?!? They could get some $$$$$ out of that! I bet people would easily pay $20-30 a chance to draw a rifle tag for that place!
