cmc Report post Posted December 30, 2008 Just a reminder that all that money from those tages goes right back to the wildlife in AZ with habitat projects!!! I say 'thank you' to those that buy those tags as the money is well needed in our state for conservation and habitat improvement. cmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ac guy Report post Posted December 30, 2008 I agree CMC. I know if I had that kind of money I would buy the tag. What's 195k for a dream hunt if you make over a couple million a year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Browning'sCustomMeat Report post Posted December 30, 2008 Wasn't trying to sound negative, sorry. I know its a good thing, goes back towards the wildlife and such. Just makes me sick someone throwing that much money out to shoot something. To each their own though. -Jeremy- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longshooter Report post Posted December 30, 2008 If I had the money I would spend it on the gov. elk tag and mule deer tag in a heart beat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SilentButDeadly Report post Posted December 31, 2008 195k is peanuts to the wealthy. The average worker makes 36k. The average S&P 500 CEO makes over 14.2 million a year (x362 what most people make). So to him, that is 1.36% his annual income. 1.36% for you n me is $489.60 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Str8Shot Report post Posted January 15, 2009 Well Since you are talking about the Auctioned tag ... does anybody have any insight to whats going on with the guy that got it ... there are several articles in White mountain papers talking about him losing his Bull and hunting privledges to Game and Fish after stalking His wounded Elk a lil to close to some homes up in Pinetop lakeside area .... Where ,with the Bull Laying one more Bullet was put in him to ease the suffering and Game and fish was close enough to hear the shot and respond... From what I have heard is that it was already wounded traked with the help of a hired guide service and put down and now the legal process has begun... Just wondering if anyone has any more insight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
