Title: Re: 07 gov buck
Post by: dbllunger on February 16, 2008, 12:14:07 AM: So is that the 15k buck? If it is thank you and keep spending the money. I could never afford it, but genuinely I do appreciate a person helping out. No sarcasm at all. Nice deer regardless of the price.

Thanks for getting it on here.
Nice bucks outfitter. I'll stick to my $45 if you don't mind :) Though I do appreciate people helping out the local economy and the gov tag holder for supporting our wildlife.

BUy those at an estate sale or some sort of auction for 45 bucks or something? :dunno: :chuckle:
Title: Re: 07 gov buck
Post by: boneaddict on February 18, 2008, 06:26:02 AM: The price of an over the counter tag....couldn't actually tell you what one runs these days as I buy the package deal. I do know its cheaper than a couple grand though, until you factor the gas in though. Now that you mention it, buying shed antlers and antlers on ebay would probably be even cheaper. :)

Post by: Mortgage Hunter on February 18, 2008, 04:19:30 PM: Speaking of gov tags....I had an exhibitor booth at the Seattle Sportsmen's Convention this weekend in Bellevue (Washington's Largest Wildlife Fundraiser)
3 Govener tags were auctioned off...I think this is what they ended up selling for.

Westside Elk.......$22,000
Westside Deer....$6500
Moose...............$20,000

If you've never been to this event, check it out next year! It was alot of fun, and the proceeds of the event (which was over $500,000) benefit WA Wildlife, Hunters Rights & the reintroduction of pronghorn antelope in WA State.

Post by: E-Town Hunter on February 18, 2008, 04:23:33 PM: antelope? interesting. Where do they want to introduce them?

Post by: Mortgage Hunter on February 18, 2008, 04:30:32 PM: Here's a link to check out. If anyone is interested in making contributions or getting behind this program...let me know and I'll get you some more info.

Post by: boneaddict on February 16, 2009, 12:53:55 PM: Your right Sky, I was pretty spoiled, especially in that NASTY weather. I hunted 9 days on one tank of gas. Probably some road hutners on here that wish they got that kind of mileage. LOL

Post by: RubblesPH on February 20, 2009, 03:53:30 PM: Turkey Slayer....thanks for posting the net score. I may have missed it somewhere, but is that an score from an official measure and do you have any info on what the official gross was.

I apologize if I missed it somewhere.
