Raffle tags are antithetical to the North American model of wildlife management. They represent a commercialization of the resource and limit access at the same time.

Mona island off Puerto Rico, for goats and pigs. I think Barbados used to have some introduced deer, Dominican Republic has some dove and pigeon hunting but I think it has to be through a hunting club and they are members only affairs. Cuba was mentioned above. There are probably others but I...
