Washington elk: 2009 - $44,000; 2008 - $65,000 (down 33%)
Arizona elk: 2009 - $85,000; 2008 - $125,000 (down 32%)
New Mexico elk: 2009 - $37,500; 2008 - $90,000 (down 58%)
Nevada elk: 2009 - $36,000; 2008 - $95,000 (down 62%)
New Mexico enhancement package
2009 - $62,000; 2008 - $172,000 (down 64%)
