Stephen Bindon the CEO of Trijicon purchased the tag.

My Uber ride from the motel didnt show up in time. I was prepared to bid up to 350.
Dang the luck!

I'm surprised the WA didn't go higher. Was a lot higher than normal, but there is a top 3 in the country rocky alive and roaming the hills.

In the country or in the state?

[huntnnw]

In WA, was alive and well last year and nobody got him.

 And in a unit that the auction tag winner can hunt?

[huntnnw]

yup. It was open last year for a draw tag

[huntnphool]

 Well let’s see if the tag holder heads down to Mountain View, Wenaha, or continues to hunt Swakane for a Cali.

there was a photographer down there last year taking pics. He traveled all over the west taking pics of sheep. He told my buddy  that was the biggest known rocky on the hoof in the country and if it wasnt the biggest top 2

Since when has the WA auction tag holder been able to hunt rockys down south? Better invest heavily in the raffle if you want to hunt down that way.

[huntnnw]

are they allowed when theres a permit tag issued in a year? I was under the impression the new state record was the Governor's tag last year. 

[MtnMuley]

No, that was the rocky raffle auction ran by WAWSF.  The gov tag holder basically gets the Swakane, while the WDFW raffle tag winner gets the Chelan Butte.

Will there be draw tags in the Blues again this year? I have not looked at the proposals for this year. Any pics around if the rams that did get taken down there last year?

I don’t think the rocky Gov tag can hunt for Cali’s. Am I wrong?

 Exactly!

Auction can’t hunt Rocky’s down south, was waiting for huntnnw to figure that out.
