Question about governor's tag for Elk

[NWBREW]

I don't have a problem with some guy that wants to spend 42 k on a elk tag. It's just one tag...one elk. I do know if I had 42 K burning a hole in my pocket I would'nt spend it on a washington elk tag.

People who have enough Indian heritage get to hunt Elk and deer in December too that I don't. That shouldn't upset you either, Elkpiss, I'm sure if you had enough Indian ancestry, you would do that too.

i would say that i dont think the same guy should be able to buy it twice, i have been told that 'ol Agnew bought it again this year

Too bad they are in it for the money, and not the common hunter.

Where does the money come from if not from these tags? If the money came from them raising our license fees again, then everyone would be bitching twice as much as they do about auction tags.

If someone would come up with a logical response to this question, I'd love to hear it.

If you want rich folks to subsidize the cost of your tags, it's ok.  Personally, I prefer the increase in tag costs, and everyone with an equal chance at everything.  That's tough on the poor, and I think everyone should be able to hunt.

No complex problem has good easy solutions.

I sure support the Auction tag, and it takes 2 to bid,  you take Dan out of the picture and who knows what the tag will sell for. He does a good job of supporting our state and the tag. He could buy land owner tags in several states and come up with some really nice bulls too. My big grip is why is the tag or other tags are being sold out of the state, if it was kept in one of the local organizations in this state it would do just as well and we could all go to the event and see it sold. Usually 90% of the selling price goes back to the state, and the organization that sells it gets to keep 10% to spend on other projects. The 90 % is really no longer dedicated funds, with way to much of it going to salaries, and miscellaneous expenses.

did anyone watch the christianson arms show when he got the governors tag for muleys...the day before they sit in the house watching videos of deer and he picks which one he wants and the next day he goes out to where the deer is exactly and shoots it....sorry thats not hunting to me....thats just shooting....id rather get drawn for a normal bull tag and go hunt my butt off for one, thats what its all about

Good grief there are some crybabies on here. 

It's just one tag!
