[jackelope]

none of those are the gov tag though...right?
was the wetside gov tag a nooksack bull too?
what was the lady who killed the 'sack bull early on...westside raffle tag?

[Bearhunter]

Correct on all three of those Jackelope.

[jackelope]

cool. i think i'm keeping track.

[boneaddict]

No bearhunter, I meant big bulls.....j/k  great pics!

[jwroberts]

ok, I'm stupid, where is governor

[boneaddict]

Its wherever the person with the highest bid that wants to hunt a certain animal.

A govenors tag is where gentleman bid on a tag and the highest bidder gets to hunt basically anywhere legal, and all year.  Same as the raffle tag, but alot more expensive.

[jackelope]

this year the governor's eastside elk tag went for $42k...

[ICEMAN]

I still say they have to end this hunt for the wealthy. 

[jackelope]

disagree. 
i may get torched for that, but thats a whole lot of $$ for the state and hopefully sportsmen.

[ICEMAN]

Than how about making prostitution, drug use, selling out the lincoln bedroom- everything available for the rich? (Oops, sorry clinton did number three...)

My point is that 'highest bidder' for use/consumption of something that everyone in this state owns, doesn't seem fair.... If the average man cannot compete for the tag, end it.

While I generally agree with this statment, when and if it all goes to preservation then one or two doesn't bother me much. But what does bother me is the muliple permits, say for cougar that are given out to a small group.
