I think the price also has to do with the timeframe.  It is Sept. 1 - Dec. 31 wherever and whenever you want here in WA.  With the other tags I looked at hunting has to take place during an already established and much more limited season.

Having 5 months to get it done is worth a significant premium.  :twocents:

I think this is a big factor as well...not sure there is much premium in being a "WA" bull...unless travel restrictions/COVID concerns make staying close to home valuable??

People that have the resources to pay these prices for tags are very busy. They have a lot of hunting going on each Fall along with other obligations they have.

Having a tag in their own back yard that you have 4 months to fill is worth a lot to these folks. It provides flexibility and convenience.

I've been told this is a yuge aspect of these tags.
:fire.:

" 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
