elkaholic Report post Posted February 18, 2012 maybe I spoke to soon on the ISE in reguards to wildlife tag auctions it's contagiuos - people get the bug in the ear about how an event with hunting tags for auction - draw the big crowds and $$$$$$$ to bid on big hunting tags Phoenix 12th Annual Sportsmens Expo to Host First-Ever Gathering of the Tribes and Hunting the Rez Auction February 16, 2012 Glendale, AZ…Hunters and outdoor-sports enthusiasts will have a chance to bid on art pieces and hunting and fishing packagessome fetching perhaps six figuresat the First Annual Indian Country Big Game Auction. Showcasing big-game hunting and fishing opportunities available on U.S. and Canadian Indian Reservations, the auction will be conducted during the Phoenix International Sportsmens Exposition, which runs February 23-26 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale. Coordinated by Hunting The Rez Magazine, the auction will take place on Friday, February 24, from 3p-6p on the shows main Adventure Theater stage. Auction items are listed online: http://bid.huntingtherez.com/auction.aspx?as=22110 ISE Phoenix will also feature the first-ever Hunting The Rez Pavilion, in which the following North American tribes willspotlight their outdoor opportunities: Blackfeet Nation, Browning, MT Blood Reserve, Stand Off Alberta, Canada Chippewa Cree, Rocky Boy, MT Gros Ventre Assiniboine, Fort Belknap, MT Hualape Game & Fish Dept., Peach Springs, AZ Jicarilla Game & Fish Dept., Dulce, NM Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, Lower Brule, SD Mandan Hidatsu Arikara (MHA Nation/Three Affiliated Tribes), New Town, ND Pueblo of Acoma, Acoma, NM Pueblo of Zuni, Zuni, NM Quinault Nation, Taholah, WA San Carlos Apache Recreation, San Carlos, AZ White Mountain Apache Tribe, Whiteriver, AZ Jason Belcourt, co-founder and editor of Hunting The Rez Magazine, commented: Indian country offers vast hunting and fishing opportunities and this auction is a way to showcase whats available to a very large audience of sports enthusiasts. Other expos have featured auctions, but Hunting The Rezs event is the first where all of the hunting and fishing packages up for bid are exclusively from Indian reservations, said Belcourt. Tribes and tribal outfitting businesses will be able to meet with anglers and big-game hunters who may have never hunted or fished on Indian Reservations. Another motivation for this special event, says Belcourt, is the amount of misinformation in the hunting community. Each Tribe has its own laws and regulations for hunting and fishing on their property. Many of the tribes are in the early stages of developing their fish-and-game departments. This auction and the HTR Pavilion is a way to educate the market about what hunting and fishing is available today in Indian Country. About International Sportsmens Exposition The International Sportsmens Exposition is Arizonas largest, most-diverse gathering of fishing, hunting and outdoor products and destinations all year, said John Kirk, ISEs Director of Communications. With hundreds of exhibiting companies, free seminars throughout the day every day, free parking, giant Youth Fair plus free entry for youth under 16 and active military, the ISE is also a tremendous family value.

deersandbeers Report post Posted February 20, 2012 I would go to the casino if they had a slot machine for tags. Although, I would bet no more than $7.50. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
