Deer auction tag

[NWWA Hunter]

Heard washingtons mule deer tag just went for a new record high price! Wow

[bearpaw]

How much?

[Maverick]

How much??? And who bought it? I didn't know they did the already.

[doyourtime89]

So how much did it go for?

[woodywsu]

26k. Can't believe the price. Especially for the buck they are going after

[Maverick]

What buck do they have picked out?

[Kowsrule30]

So I guess my $45 bid lost again..... Maybe one of these years I'll get it...

26k. Can't believe the price. Especially for the buck they are going after

[turkey slayer]

Wow that didn't take very long. Guys lets keep all the negative comments to your self on this years gov. buck tag. Lets just be happy for him and wish him good luck

Woodywsu I can't be leave you have a pic of this buck and if you do please keep to your self and if you know who the hunter is all so keep it to your self. The hunter really wouldn't like his name giving out or the area that he will be hunting in or the buck he is going after.

Thanks Brandon

My post wasnt bad mouthing the hunter, buck, or system. 26k is a lot for any buck IMO.

[boonerboy]

dont think ive ever seen a buck that id pay 26k for.......or any ainmal for that matter. Hope he gets a good one.

$26K was cheap for the WA deer tag. At SLC for the Mule Deer Foundation and SFW convention this weekend, the Arizona gov. mule deer tag went for $220,000 and the Utah gov. mule deer tag went for $225,000. A couple of Henry mtn. mule deer tags in Utah brought $100,000 each and the Nevada gov. mule deer tag went for $80,000. Still a few guys out there willing to pay big bucks for big bucks.

best of luck to the hunter!     i'd love to see a deer that was worth 26K!

Are the animals these people targeting on private lands or not open to general season hunting? I could see someone putting up the cash for an animal they couldn't hunt with a general season tag... wish I had that money in the first place!

The tag does not include special access.  It does not allow killing of deer that others hunters could not legally kill in appropriate seasons.  It does provide a longer season.

I hope he get's what he's after and the money stays out of the general fund.
