A record high bid was made for the Governor’s Mule Deer Tag for the state of Utah. The Governor’s Tag is a state-wide aution permit allowing the hunter a special extended season. Recently, the 2006 state-wide conservation permit went for a record $156,000! David Myer again put up some serious money this year. Mr. Myer was also the winning bid in 2005 and paid $82,000, which landed him a monster 240 class non-typical mule deer this past season. This is the most money ever paid anywhere for a mule deer permit.

Hats off to this gentleman for giving back to wildlife! I can only hope other wealthy sportsmen follow suit.

It would be nice to have that kind of money for a hunt of a lifetime, not all are so blessed. I’m glad to see that those who can afford it are putting back into wildlife and nature what they get out of it. The pure enjoyment of hunting, the one on one with the great outdoors, and the solitude of nature. I enjoy every minute that I can be hunting and be out with the sounds of the woods. Thank you Mr Myers and the many others who can afford this.
