Others may get big dollars out of them at their banquets, however, I've been to some of them and from the auctioneer to the quantity of items it's hard to beat Bair as he is arguably the most entertaining auctioneer out there.
My thought is that SFW, Full Curl, MDF, Biggame forever, etc all as one kinda thing with Peay and Bair squeegeeing money out of every big dollar guy the states feel they are going to bring the most money.
I attended a small orgs banquet a few years back. They had one elk tag from the Utah DWR to auction off and it was laughable, almost embarrassing to watch. The whole thing was a joke.
If these tags are appropriated for auction then it's hard to argue SFW not being the best org to raise the most money.
If you guys feel RMEF could have gotten $330,000 for that Az Strip tag Saturday night then maybe they have the draw to pull that kind of money but I don't think they could have. JMO
