Last 30 minutes will be fun to watch. Sold for $160,000 last year and went from $100,000 to $160,000 in the last hour.

If a bid comes in with less than a minute to go they extend the time by 4 or 5 minutes so it won’t necessarily end right at 6pm if two bidders are going at it.

Pennsylvania auction went up to $326,000

hmm, 158,000

Up to 98k now.  I find it crazy that Wa has such a high interest with elk, we beat WY, OR, MT, and Co when it comes to high auction prices for big bulls.  Must be a pig out there. WY auction seems like a bargain !

[Rainier10]

I’m guessing $146,000. That’s my limit.

You can’t hunt bulls OTC in Washington like you can in montana. You can’t hunt bulls on the east coast OTC. So you have a supply and demand thing. If you want to hunt bulls here or in Pennsylvania you are going to pay a high price.

With that said the Montana tag is north of $70,000.

It’s happening, 98,100,102….

So if you pay 120-150k for a tag, do you pass up a 410” bull??? I wonder how many could??
