The MDF, RMEF and SFW are currently discussing doing an online auction for the remaining tags.
I'll gather as much information as I can and share it.
Not sure I follow this....That will be interesting.
If they pull similar amounts to other years it will prove that $fw bs, is BS. The tags sell themselves
Yes, see "MDF banquet tags" in this forum ?Any updates?
I just messaged my contacts with RMEF and SFW and it sounds like they are both working on a platform like the MDF used for their online auctions and are anticipating going live within the next few weeks.Ok
Thanks.
What about all the other groups with tags?
Paunsagunt tag sold tonight for $10k less online than at the February Utah County MDF banquet.That will be interesting.

That's a possibility yes, but the people who spend 50k on tags like these are most likely in financial situations to take advantage of tougher times for others.Not really. I suspect the price would have been as much or more than it has been in the past if not for the current economic crisis and uncertainty.
True, but you don’t get money by giving away more than you have to. They know the market is down so they can get it for cheaper. Don’t kid yourself, no one buys these tags for conservation.That's a possibility yes, but the people who spend 50k on tags like these are most likely in financial situations to take advantage of tougher times for others.
Of course they don't, both sides know that.True, but you don’t get money by giving away more than you have to. They know the market is down so they can get it for cheaper. Don’t kid yourself, no one buys these tags for conservation.
They have the choice of buying a private land owner tag from Wade Heaton, or one of the "Big 3" Outfitters down there as well, which goes to "personal income" ?True, but you don’t get money by giving away more than you have to.

Writing a raffle tag off on your taxes is a good one way to get audited.Of course they don't, both sides know that.
But what they do know is that when purchasing a tag through a conservation group, they know the money goes to a good cause versus an individual's pocket.....not to mention a tax write off.
If anyone is worried about an audit, you're already doing something shady in the first place.Writing a raffle tag off on your taxes is a good one way to get audited.
Who said anyone is worried about an audit? If your CPA tells you it’s fine to write off a raffle tag you better get a new CPA because he’s probably going to get you in a lot more trouble.If anyone is worried about an audit, you're already doing something shady in the first place.
Obviously you are not so savvy on how conservation tags work. And since all you want to do is is argue over something you have zero clue about, I am not going to waste anymore of my time trying to educate you.Who said anyone is worried about an audit?

Do your homework ?
First off I wasn't "guiding", I went along with my buddy who drew the tag, I have never owned a Wyoming tag in my life.Same to you. Nothing like seeing a guide post about a Wyoming deer tag he had and he was scouting units not even open for his tag. How did your Wyoming hunt turn out? Probably wish you could of shot one of those bucks you scouted in 101 and 102 ? ??
So I’m suppose to believe a guide who it’s his job to know the regs and he can’t even do that? And believe him for tax write offs etc ? No way.
Do your homework slammy.
Wyoming W-131 Deer | Mule Deer
I've been out scouting this unit but haven't hit the "131" portion yet. I've been hitting 102 and that side of the unit but I better give it a look. On Google Earth, it looks completely dead and just "Antelopy" (for lack of a better word). Does anyone have any input from past experiences? Not...www.monstermuleys.info
Riiiiight. And how did you verify it? Did you make a new post and asked the monstermuley crowd? Ahhahahahaha. I bet you get your financial advice from here too. Hahahahaha haha that’s golden! I bet you don’t even know what a write off is? But I’m done with this thread, it’s like teddy Roosevelt said, “you can’t teach a guy from Utah anything, they think they know it all and if you don’t believe them you don’t have to ask. They will spit it out with out asking”First off I wasn't "guiding", I went along with my buddy who drew the tag, I have never owned a Wyoming tag in my life.
We went off his research, or lack thereof. Yes we scouted a day in an area "I" found out he couldn't hunt with his W tag (Thanks to the people who responded to my inquiry).
I relayed the information and we ended up in one of the other areas we could hunt....big deal?
So to mock you back....the auction tags i posted are not "raffle" tags as you stated, they "conservation tags" that most definitely ARE eligible for tax write off's.
There....I did your homework for you (not so) sober ?
FYI.....most conservation groups are 501(3)C organizations ?Riiiiight. And how did you verify it? Did you make a new post and asked the monstermuley crowd? Ahhahahahaha.
