Beaver elk tag sold for $180,000?

[Oneye]

Wild, but a Beaver elk tag sold for $180,000 at a mule deer foundation banquet last night. That’s an absurd amount for that tag. Must be a specific bull there someone really wants.

 

[fullcry]

Wow
I didn’t make it down.
Was wondering what the Desert Sheep tag went for?

Did They Invite JimmyJohns?

First thing that comes to my mind is that I hope a average Joe draw hunters kills the species bull early in the archery hunt before the high dollars roll in. I’m sure the outfitters will follow the one guide plus one spotter law for their $180,000 client.

 

[slamdunk]

I was a spotter at that auction, that was pretty fun seeing it go that high.

Beaver Multi season elk 180k
Paunsaugunt muzzleloader
75k
Pahvant elk
29k
Wasatch rifle Elk
35k

Regular live auction items were low but tags were high.

I guess the economy has not fully cratered and there is still lots of money out there to be spent.

Maybe the sky isn't falling as some would have us believe.

Only need a few players to keep the auction tags high. In this investment climate, even if your 80 mil portfolio has dropped to 65 mil, your still in fine shape to keep bidding on these tags. 180k is scarcely a drop in the bucket. Spend it or die with it....there's no real dilemma.

That's One Thing You Don't Need To Worry About!

There Are Enough People With Surplus Money To Take Good Care Of The Money Tags!

Should Be Some Major Fixin On The Elk & Deer Herd This Year With The Amount of Money Generated!

And Still Being Generated!

I know there is a bit of a process to this but why does a mule deer based group get such good elk tags to benefit from?

If You Were Selling/Auctioning Which Tag Would You Want?

I'm that average joe with the Beaver archery hunt this year. I'd welcome any hot tips. I will likely be hunting all by myself, unless I can convince a friend to tag along.

That really is my favorite!

Whip their asses. Good luck

 

[BrowningRage]

"Average Joe" won't know where they truck in a blindfolded bull from White Peaks.

That’s an absurd amount for any tag

 

[Elkslayer]

That’s an absurd amount for any tag

Especially for a dang bull elk.

Check out Big John’s Flat.

Get away from the roads & don’t waste your time hunting Labor Day weekend. Far too many people will be out there camping / recreating for the long weekend & it pushes the elk out.
The bulls will start bugling pretty good toward the end of the archery season.

Solo hunting Utah….not posse…ble.

 

[SPAZ]

When will my permit show up in the mail? Maybe Utah is playing a prank on me.

 

[yoteduster]

They don't seem to get in a hurry mailing out the permits.. But don't worry if you drew a tag it'll show up in the mail..I don't know of anyone who has received there's yet..I know we haven't

They won't send them until after the antlerless draw is finished. Congrats on the tag.

Im doing the rifle hunt elk this year, and if you want help message me. Would be my first elk season, but I’m sure footed and quiet.

Is there any obligation to report the dollar value on these auction tags? I'm trying to find trends on sales...etc.
