NM sheep tag out bid.

[hank4elk]

Listened to a ME podcast today about Gov. tags and such. Income to depts from such.
Some guy just outbid others for a unlimited Bighorn tag, $1.3 mil.
2 others were $1.2 mil.
Wow.

 

[hank4elk]

Rumors of world record Rocky.
NMG&F could parlay into $3-5 mil with PR amount.

 

[Potsie]

Ya, wifey just wouldn’t sign off on another $200k for me to take this one home.

Maybe next year.

Can the same buyer get all three?

 

[MTGomer]

Sorry to hear about your loss, Hank. We will find you a good hunt for 1.1 million.

 

[peterk1234]

Uggh. I thought my $1,000,001 would do the trick.

Sealed single bids.
elon is too gay to hunt.

 

[hank4elk]

Mine was $1.25....I thought it was low bid.
Good thing I never gambled.

[Nick87]

Man, there's a lot of things I'd do with a million or 1.3 but this is not one of them.

Just think, with all this $ for "Conservation" NM will be crawling with sheep in no time.

Or creepy sheep hunters.

I feel bad for the ram that has a hit out on it. I’m kinda rooting for a lion to get it or old age

Or some random draw hunter to shoot it out from under them

NM? More likely a poacher.

I heard remarks of the bidder by the sheep guy. Sounds like half the folks on here. Hardworker who has the $.
They know it will have horns all year and will hunt before season I'm sure.

Treat it like a OIL hunt and save.....a million. #followmeformoretips. #thisisajoketheinternethatessarcasm

Crazy amount of money to spend on anything let alone a tag. That guy will kill a 200"+ ram. There are multiple rams in there over 200 even if he doesn't get the exact one he's after. Last year 2 rams over 200" came out of that unit.

Let's be honest, he didn't spend that on the tag, he spent it on the ram. He knows he is guaranteed to kill one. Interesting question, has an auction bighorn tag in excess of $50,000, ever gone unfilled in any state?

The “guides” keeping tabs on it are probably providing pretty good security.
