TOBY Report post Posted February 26, 2012 How much of that funding will come to AZ? All of it.... between all of the az auction tags they generate at least half a million dollars on average. Is there a way to see where it truly goes? If I was the rich man buying that tag I would want to see that it was well spent on said mule deer habitat or new drinkers and so on. 220,000 will build seven new drinkers start to finish at 30,000 a pop. Times all these tags over the last decade.... quite a few million dollars all funding going to az? Where is all the progress? I read a lot of .com forums and see a couple of drinkers each year being fixed with the help of all you hunters like myself lending a hand to g&f and that is awesome! Where is the rest of the money going? Does g&f have to pay for lobbyists also? I understand that g&f does more than just that for a job,but they are a state funded agency which funds what they do 365. Just seems like a lot of dough without much show. Maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed this am? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DesertBull Report post Posted February 26, 2012 A large % of the $$$ will go to projects north of the Colorado river. A place most will never hunt, but those are deer that the auction tag hunters pay huge sums to hunt so to keep the money train rolling those deer get top priority.

TOBY Report post Posted February 26, 2012 ok....ten years of auction tags(mule deer only)......10 million ish........ is there even a million ish worth of improvements north of the river? dont think so. better yet in the whole state? smells kinda like the HB bill all over again. times this by all species that get auctioned.
