2012 Governor's Moose Tag Auction Sat Feb 25

[Caseyd]

$3500 for a whitey tag ummmm...hell no..seasons here are already rut hunts and spending the additional $3460 buys u nothing

Doesnt it get you another deer?

Yes

[alwinearcher]

EXACTLY!

[bearpaw]

They will be auctioning it soon....

That tag ought to go for 3 times what it did last year. Moose tags were $100 last year, $300 this year.   

[Hornseeker]

Cant wait to hear what it goes for... to me, its worth a solid 8k.... not that I have that to spend, but I think it would be well worth that. Hopefully there are a few guys that think its worth MUCH more than that!

[bearpaw]

I would love to have that tag and if the economy gets going again, I may try to bid on it someday.

I expect it will go for 12,000 to 15,000, unless there are a couple guys who really want it, then it might bring 15,000 to 20,000.

[carpsniperg2]

I am guessing around 20k. I don't think it will go over that but I would think it will get close to 20k.

[Bob33]

WA has record book Shiras.  I guess $22k.

[bearpaw]

Depends who wants it, remember, the economy has been better....

[bobcat]

I can see $10k for it, but not 20.   

Heck you could get a pretty good guided moose hunt in BC for 10.

[carpsniperg2]

It all depends like said. People with a lot of money getting into a bidding war can really drive the price up. Most of those people are not affected like the avg joe. We will all know soon enough. I know the goat tag will not sell for less then 7k without someones name on it

Right but you can also get a world class elk hunt for $20k and yet the gov elk tag brings $50k so there must be other motivators.

[bearpaw]

It is cool to bid in and win an auction, that is a motivator....

[Ridgerunner]

15k is my guess.  What did the elk tag go for?

[BC CHASER]

Went for $16,000.
