Ya, I wonder if Jim is gonna try it again this year. Rumor was that he got close to a monster last year, but ended up eating his tag.

Post by: wa.hunter on February 03, 2010, 05:13:10 PM: yep Jim ate the tag and not the first one he has ate either. He has a great time out there and puts alot of time into. I bet he was looking 60 days at least last year and did see some dandy goats.

I sure have thought about it pretty hard, but the economy has whooped my butt the last 4 months and it doesn't look good in the future either. I think that tag would be the best chance for putting a goat in the books in the lower 48.

Post by: wa.hunter on February 08, 2010, 09:41:40 AM: For those that are interested the Washington Auction Moose Tag only sold for $10,000 and the Westside Blacktail Auction Tag sold for $4500 on Saturday. This is half of what they have sold for the last few years so maybe you might get a good deal on the remaining tags that go up at this event. For sure if you want to go to Africa you can get a really good deal too.

Post by: WDFW-SUX on February 08, 2010, 09:43:39 AM: Im surprised the moose went for so little..

Any idea why? There are clearly people who can afford it around???

Post by: wa.hunter on February 09, 2010, 09:45:46 PM: Apparently any auction needs 2 people that want something and the more you want it, I guess the more you pay. This state will eventually kill the new record providing the wolve's don't get them 1st.
