Are they for areas not accessible by general draw hunters? Seems like the gov tag holders get the monsters when others may be hunting all around. Am I missing something here?
by the way that is an impressive animal

I would love if the money from this hunt helped to figure out this whole disease thing that we struggle with so much.

I've heard and read where many of Gov tags winners hire many to scout areas get pictures of big sheep, Elk .. in WA I heard they had 3 scouters and a helicopter in the Quilomene looking for big.. When Moneys no Problem it really opens up your options,..

John L. in the pic has been on more big ram kills in the breaks than anyone else. He knows his sheep but there has been several draw tag hunters that have killed big rams. Several over the magical 200 mark.

If they can afford 480K for bid and tag, several scouts to find mister big is a cheap way to find him! Also dont they get a "tag" that is good well out of seasons? Kind of an all year tag?

The helicopter would be illegal, at least in WA, not sure about MT.MT is a bit less restrictive.

My understanding it was all scouted in the summer for big ones. Where would be the best place to hunt during season.
