Keep in mind also... most of the folks buying these tags don’t care much about what kind of deal they’re getting. 

I’d also like to know where there are plenty of 200” bucks in Washington. I’d venture to say that some of the best mule deer hunters in this state haven’t seen many 200” bucks here and I mean no disrespect to anyone .  Maybe back in the 1950’s.

They are out there that’s for sure.

WA has had 17 book bucks in the last 10 years, certainly not Colorado but they are out there.

$24k for the WA gov mule deer tag tonight.  I thought pretty hard about it at that price.  Great night at the Expo.   Antelope Island tag went for $305k.

I bet it was tempting, that's actually a pretty good deal in today's world. I was planning on watching online but was busy and missed it.

 And there are a few that don't get entered.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Absolutely phool! :tup:, I would bet more than a few, at least "back in the day" when some folks really didn't care.

But that’s 180”.  There’s a big difference between a 180”
and a a 200” buck.

Don’t get me wrong. I know there are some 200” bucks. Just don’t think there are “plenty”.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I think your getting a little to worked up about my plenty comment. I will rephrase that and say if I had the governors tag I could confidently kill a 200+inch buck without a doubt. And also please reread my comment. I never said their are plenty. I said I have seen plenty. Big difference my friend
