Yeah one people get pissed that this happens but if you ask me it's for a great cause. If I could afford to I would pay that kind of money and I would pay six figures to hunt in Mongolia and Pakistan too. It would be amazing!

Looks like the Washington Tag just went for $84K, there was a little action the last 10 seconds so maybe there was a little competition on the bids?

Boomshockalocka!!
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

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

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

That’s big money.

If I had that kind of money I would hire a local guide or two, and get a hold of, Make a wish foundation. Some child with little time left would have the hunt of a lifetime!  How good would that feel. Maybe these rich guys do, I’m not knocking them, just saying what would bring me more joy.

Wrong. This has been tried before twice, and I headed both attempts. WDFW wanted absolutely nothing to do with donating the tag to one terminally ill girl or young man fighting cancer.

If hunting seasons were canceled this year do you think exceptions would be made for big spenders like this? I don't really care if there were, just asking.

I'm guessing they'd have the "option" of a refund followed by a long paragraph how much they'd appreciate the funds just donated to "benefit" wildlife. :twocents:

I would think they would get a rain check for the next year

If that's the case, then why didn't the Blue Mtn tag holders a few years back who waited 20 years to draw not get an option for a rain check for the next year?

I think Make-a-wish also doesn't want anything to do with hunting or guns.  There's a spin off group called Hunt of a Lifetime.  I don't know why WDFW wouldn't want to be involved.  I would think they would have a little pile of tags in reserve just for such occasions.

They did. The rain check was good for whenever they drew again
