What Did The Auction Tags Go For?
Last Saturday night at the Western Hunting and Conservation Expo, there was a special banquet program. During this banquet there were some great presentations and speeches (some a little too long). I really enjoyed Wayne LaPierre, CEO of the NRA and his keynote speech showcasing some notes and video clips from his recent debate against the head of PETA from the UK.
But the main draw to this banquet was the auction. I thought I would give a rundown of what each auction tag went for at this banquet. Let’s just say that this was not an auction that you wanted to accidentally raise your hand to swat a fly away.
Utah statewide elk: $100,000 (I seemed to sense that they were hoping for a little more than this)
Utah statewide Rocky Mountain Bighorn: $75,000
Utah statewide Desert Bighorn: $80,000
Pahvant elk permit (Utah): $50,000
San Juan elk permit (Utah): $40,000
Kluane First Nation Dall Sheep permit: $170,000
Utah mule deer permit: $137,000
Utah Governors Mountain Goat permit: $30,000
Arizona’s Governor’s mule deer permit: $100,000
Utah Henry Mountain mule deer permit: $67,500
