there seems to be something wrong about that tag auction setup, RMEF did it up here on Dec hunts, 250,000.00 a tag for elk & sheep. However, the F&W folks do need the loot, been a good nbr of people chasing sheep into and/or out of parks and reserves and getting nailed for it.They've even resorted to medallions and chips on the sheep in some areas now. And the biggest bulls up here don't leave the parks until the snow forces them out now. They've done some burns in the parks now that allow the elk and sheep to stay in a little longer, some people can't handle that. Just have to get their names in the record books.
