Some states have a governors tag.
Mostly it’s out west
The tags are usually used for generating large amounts of revenue for wildlife/conservation.
Some tags for example will get bid up to $700k!!
The tags usually come out of the general pool
Arizona board just voted to do away with the tag.
Thoughts?
Should a rich fella have the opportunity to ‘buy’ a tag which takes one away from the poor man?
Is the financial benefit to wildlife preservation/restoration of greater good from the funds raised off that tag every year?
The Arizona Game and Fish Commission voted Friday to abolish the state’s practice of auctioning big-game tags. In their controversial 4-1 vote, the commissioners decided that, although these tags have provided millions in wildlife conservation funding by selling coveted tags to the highest bidders, auctions should be replaced with a more equitable system. The decision comes just a year after a Nevada man bought the Arizona statewide mule deer tag for a record-setting $725,000 at the 2023 Western Hunt Expo auction.
