What do those tags normally go for? And what size bucks have been taken in the past?

The usually go for a lot of $$money$$, too rich for my blood...

 

[Grail]

Thanks. Now I know exactly what I wanted. Dare I repeat - what size bucks have been taken in the past? Uh-oh. I did. Now don't tell me, "real big, too big for my wall," because I won't believe you.

Typically between $5,000 and $10,000. Depends on who is at the dinner and what other auctions there are.

These tags will go for $3500 - $4500, depending on the banquet. Good state-wide in any open unit. Expect a buck in the 78" to 84" range. Stan Atwood took a 84" pronghorn in 2000 with this tag. Have been on two other hunts with these tags and hunters took a 78" and a 80". If you need a Ca. antelope this may be the way to go as you may never draw. It took me 15 years to finally get my permit. Happy bidding!!!
