You can also hunt better mule deer for about half of what those tags usually go for, not sure that’s the point

Rainier10:
Hunting your home state on you schedule is why these tags are popular in my opinion.

If you’re a super busy business owner with a bunch of extra $$ in your pocket who doesn’t have a lot of time to get out of town for 2-3 weeks for an AK hunt but you have a lot of weekends and a few long weekends and want to hunt goats with hair, it has value. It’s tough to hunt long haired goats in Alaska due to snow.

I hunt goats in AK and if anything I'd say the place to shoot an easy long haired goat is Kodiak. Have you seen a difference between goats killed later in AK compared to other states?

CarbonHunter:
I can see your point that a local who wants to do the hunt DIY might be willing to pay this much instead of going to Alaska with a guide.

For deer or elk though I think our state does hold some very large animals that can be as good as any state if you have access to the land they are on and have a 4 month season to go after them. I wouldn’t pay what some people pay for those tags but I completely understand why some people do.

Forgot about Kodiak.
