So the Whitetail auction tag went for 7-8K, and the muley tag went for about 15K, right...?

" 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

Well, if you can easily afford it, and you are in a position to hunt the entire season, you could probably count on putting one in the books...  Might be worth it to some...

Maybe, if you were just going to hunt "blind" and hope for a good buck.  But what if you already had eyes on a 190 class whitey, on private ground, that you knew you had a good chance of killing if you just spent the time in the area during the right times of the year?  Don't forget, some of these auction tags are bought by people who have already scouted out the animal they want to harvest...

You can get a couple of them for the price of the muley tag, thats not the point. Some people just like getting out and hunting. This tag allows for a 4 month hunt, not just going out and killing a deer.

Well, I had a buck on my trailcam this year that would have gone well over 150 gross.  He disappeared as soon as the bow season started, but I am pretty sure that no one harvested him.  If I had the time, and the money, it might have been worth being able to hang out there during the peak times and see when he showed...
