NM Governor’s Pronghorn Tag Auction

[jt13]

You guys see this?



Tag went for $25k in 2021 and $19k in 2022. Must be a big one kicking around, apparently a bidding war between 2 people ran the price up. A good day for NMGFD

Edit: In an unrelated note, I talked myself (and my wife) into bidding on one of the donated African safari hunts. So... now I've got a hunt for 4 to plan in South Africa....

It's such a good moisture year for the SW I'm sure people are banking on lots of horn growth this year. Congratulations on the African hunt. Recently had something similar happen at a RMEF banquet auction. Heading on a hunt for 2 to South Africa this May.

That's a hefty price for a goat. Good news for NM.

A friend's brother drew a unit 17 Pronghorn tag for this year. He's not even going to be in the country during the the hunt. I hope he donates to a non profit. 17 should have some good lope this year.

Big money. Getting more and more common. High end elk hunts are going for up to 50K. Basic hunts can now be 20K.

I'm following several NM hunting Facebook groups these days and the prices that unguided/non-outfitted unitwide landowner tags sell for is nuts.

And it’s probably two guys competing that will be using the same outfitter to take them to it

 

[beaglegun]

My bid limit was $80,000

Pronghorn Guide Service would be my bet...

True tragedy if a 95" pronghorn got hit by a car July 31.

Good, I see my bid is still holding.




Damn decimal point, that was supposed to be $832.50!

What if it dies or heat exhaustion? Thirst?

Won't happen. They have folks watering it daily.

What kind of tradegy from a poach? Or do they have a security guard by it all times?

Id laugh my ass off if some dude whacked it and paid the fine....what ...maybe $1000? but would probably have an 83K price on his head for the stunt.......
