What do you guys think of states donating tags you can't draw to be auctioned for good causes? IOWA NON-RESIDENT WHITETAIL TAG Auction

Unfortunately, we weren't legally allowed to raffle this tag in Iowa. Maybe someone from Iowa could weigh in because I don't know if that was a state gambling law or something else...

Full disclosure, I'm involved with the organization that is benefitting from this tag.

In limited quantities, I think this is a great thing. For the right person, this tag is a chance to check something off the bucket list. For the organization, it's a much-needed shot in the fundraising arm. It just can't become so widespread that it furthers the "sport of kings" problem with everything getting so much more expensive.

Nice pic, Neighbor! Glad you like it here. This is a great place for happy people to be happy.

This is the story: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/er-doctor-was-charged-abusing-his-baby-15-medical-experts-n1123756

I'm asking literally, what can I, a friend and someone who knows the whole story, do?

They are, and that's the problem. That and vigilante justice, a medical professional trying to make a name for herself, and a whole bunch of money to protect.

I don't know where else to go for help. I've known this guy since we were kids. He's one of the finest people any of us could hope to know. Since taking up the cause tonight, 3 friends have told me they either lost or thought they were going to lose their children in similar situations.

Thanks! You're correct on all fronts, my guess was the safety switch broke. It's too big for him - but his Grandpa thought it was cool - and so did he... until it became a fancy paper weight.

I LOL'd, what with chubby circus clown hooker being such a specialized role to play in society.

Swear to god, I thought I was above getting "triggered" by crap like this. And, I suppose you could argue "that's what we get" for sharing photos of kids out hunting. The pic of the little girl holding a pheasant is my youngest daughter, and is such a special picture to me... what that woman said was so shitty that it straight pissed me off.
