My bride and I attended, validated my tag entries, dropped some big money on some new Bino's and headed out. not as good as years past. I did enjoy the taxidermy entries that were there in years past.I think its a good question for the Mule deer federation folks who sponsor the event and see what they say. I think if folks share their frustrations and that they miss these things, maybe,just maybe they will listen. There all about the big money which comes from the tag sales.
I know booth cost is way expensive and I know that most vendors have a limited budget for shows. Many of the folks at this show will not be at the ISE show.I know many vendors i talked with said that they were going to be at other places or this was it for them.
I heard some crazy numbers for what the state tags were auctioned off for. they sold a mule to ride for 18,000 , Arizona state wide deer tag for 320,000 dollars, Utah state wide deer, 220,000 dollars. This just blows my mind that there are people out there paying money like this.
I feel crazy spending 580.00 dollars for a Montana deer combo.
its all about the Big Money baby.......
