Post by: Westside88 on February 10, 2019, 08:31:59 AM: Good for them, you can’t take all that money with you. I have a feeling that those able to buy these auction tags aren’t that affected by the cash outlay. I like to think if I had those type of resources I’d do the same

He has been hunting his whole life. Last years goat tag went to another guy not him. I was at the show. Alberta sheep tag went for 180k. Arizona desert went 280 I think. Jimmy Johns bought a big Dall sheep tag too.

Just FYI

Post by: huntnnw on February 10, 2019, 10:22:52 PM: I was there too, just what was told to me by a friend who talk to the guy.

Best part of that weekend was the $500k that was anonymously donated and the the items donated to the wounded warrior hunter.

Post by: Osobluwtr on February 10, 2019, 11:07:15 PM: I completely agree. That was my favorite part too and the six guys who won the free sheep hunt but had to be present to win 😂

I laughed and cried every time someone was announced.
