Extra tags would be available every hunting season for those hunters who didn't get the draw in that year’s lottery, but for very specific animals. The largest Bull Moose, stag deer, boars, mountain goats, what have you. Teams of handlers would be dispatched as soon as a tag is activated and using GPS find and airlift the animals to the preserve in order to await the big day. After which the animals would be retuned to the exact spot they were taken from to regale their buddies with tales of their alien abduction.
Rodeo clowns would be equipped with tazers and cattle prods to protect the cowboys.Picture it, eight seconds on a bull moose.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, May 15 2005 This takes away home team advantage.

Prize money would be huge.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, May 16 2005 Would these "rodeos" be held in a Colosseum? Edit: Have some bread for your circus.-- justaguy, May 16 2005 random, halfbakery
