Sold for $115k in Reno at the sheep show. Big money.

Big money!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Wow, that’s incredible! Great to see so much money going to help the animals!
That’s some serious coin though!
My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

Good for them, you can’t take all that money with you. I have a feeling that those able to buy these auction tags aren’t that affected by the cash outlay. I like to think if I had those type of resources I’d do the same

He has been hunting his whole life.   Last years goat tag went to another guy not him.  I was at the show.   Alberta sheep tag went for 180k.  Arizona desert went 280 I think.  Jimmy Johns bought a big Dall sheep tag too.

Just FYI

I was there too, just what was told to me by a friend who talk to the guy.

Best part of that weekend was the $500k that was anonymously donated and the the items donated to the wounded warrior hunter.

I completely agree.  That was my favorite part too and the six guys who won the free sheep hunt but had to be present to win 😂

I laughed and cried every time someone was announced.
