Title: Mule deer auction tag
Post by: nwhunter on February 11, 2022, 05:49:15 PM: Really WDFW this is the best photo you can supply to try and raise funds for our mule deer herds.? There’s been some 200” bucks killed not too long ago with the tag how about something bigger than a dink😆 Maybe whoever was in charge is trying to buy the tag🤷🏽‍♂️

Most recent was a raffle tag buck.. my post wasn’t really about 200” Washington deer as I am well aware of the demise of our deer herds. I guess I am just suprised wdfw can’t come up with a better picture when the idea is to raise as much money as possible with this auction tag..
