I don't believe the money's derived from Auction tags were part of the general budget for fish and game. Typically these funds are earmarked for conservation projects. I also believe that the most of the funds lost on Auctions will be replaced by Raffled tag (tags that you and I have a chance at getting).
The reality is it doesn't violate the North American Model.
I’m just saying that’ll be their excuse for raising license fees. I’m not against auction tags and the money they generate, hopefully the raffle tag money can make up the difference.
WRONG.
Not wrong
SFW MDF and other big game super PACS: we raised record money in the name of conservation.Kudos to the State of Arizona. Time to stop pimping our wildlife in the name of conservation. Any chance Utah follows suit?

5,10,15 more dollars fine by me. If it means never watching another Jimmy John hunt with 30 retards filming 30 retards and then flexing like they are hero’s at the same time. I’m good with that. While we are at it ban outfitting on public land it won’t hurt my feelings or most normal every day hunter.
Nice post Karen.
The only 3 species where auction out did raffles were Mule deer, Elk and Bighorn. All the money in the world hasn't helped the MD at all. Elk are doing just fine and Bighorns in AZ do ok until disease gets them which is usually do to contact with domestic sheep and predators.
If that ends up being the case, then I'm actually fine with that as long as the money raised goes to conservation projects and not the general fund.
Will pay it gladly to eliminate most auction tags.
Not arguing one way or another.
They used to raffle tags in CA, now they only auction to the rich...no telling where the money goes and if there are any audits .
Ban people from public land? Sounds reasonable
Thanks for pointing out illogical hate for people engaging in legal free behavior won't be tolerated.
Few years ago guy posted he bought 2000 open deer raffles here in CA. He didn't win. Ironically, a guy who bought i raffle got the win. If a rich guy really wants a sure thing here in CA he can buy a PLM tag from private land owner. All an auction does is shut out the little guy. At least there is a chance with raffle.
If you’re gonna do stupid sh!t don’t post it.
Ban outfitting on public land, an outfitting company isn’t biological it’s ran by biological human beings though.Ban people from public land? Sounds reasonable
But he’s no longer guaranteed a tag.
I agree. Doesn't mean you have to legislate against stupid.If you’re gonna do stupid sh!t don’t post it.
I hope them rich pricks buy lots of raffle tags and I’ll bet the guy that buys one will get it. At least we have a chance to get a tag no. Otherwise we have no chance with the auction.
Sounds like you quit.
So every year you go ahead and send a check in for all those tags you don't draw????
You took the bait that the money boys told you. I feel sorry for you. The animal numbers are down with the auction tags so no they haven’t helped. All it did was create a lot more guides and spotters. It changed the way we hunt. Think about it. Stop the liberal thinking.
How in the world is any of this "Liberal thinking"?
Other than selling tens of thousands of big game tags under value.
Doesn't matter what you claim. I guess you reinforced what we already know.
See that's what you don't understand about rich folks. They don't sit around blaming problems on some group or hating poor people. They go find satisfaction in something else. Just because those evil Ritch folks aren't buying conservation tags doesn't suddenly mean they gave up hunting.
What a stupid comment. So are you saying all tags should be auctioned off. I know that would bring in more money. Is that what you want, money. Money isn’t the answer buddy.
You're just about tags. We know
Broke wildlife agencies ain't the answer.
Like most things, no.
If they auctioned off all 35,000 B Zone blacktail tags in California they would raise about $35,000. They would finally get what they're actually worth.
And that's what needs to happen. That's how capitalism works and this socialized welfare falls on its face.
That actually makes sense.
You are insane. No logic in you at all. Good luck to you sleepy joe.
Excellent. Please post the part that says hunting opportunity can not be auctioned.
I’d lean on the elimination of markets for wildlife pretty heavily.
Then no fur coats beaver hats or fish to eat. Maybe get rid of taxidermy and commercial meat processing.
Are you saying you want to eliminate people? Are you saying you want to eliminate buildings? You are painting with a broad brush. Please elaborate.
There's a lot more honest people who hate lawyers than taxidermists.
Well I'm in luck. Whether I should or not, I don't worry.
Vanilla told you they were.
If you come to the internet for facts or truth you have a lot of growing up to do.
No, markets are eliminated by moving them to government administration. IE utilities, if there is no competition there is no market.
Well what those idiots did for a few YouTube dollars doesn’t look good for hunting and it sure looks terrible for outfitting and auction tags. But those goofballs will go on a podcast and talk down to the draw tag guys about grip and grin ethics, public land etiquette ect. Yet they’ve packed a rigeline 30 dudes deep on a velvet bull for a tough 1000 yd shot that the technology will basically white his A55 after he’s done. If the law allowed it one of those clowns would have flown a drone to get the impact of the shot from above. These auction tags are a joke and so is outfitting on public land. It’s kinda like 30 dudes screwing the same hooker in the same night and thinking they had some serious game.
You’d be drinking Jimmy John’s recycled piss on that model.
That's not the elimination of a market and it is legislating which is what I posted above.
Any of that can occur with any type of tag. Not just an auction tag.
