Amazing animals however what's more astounding to me is the lack of reaction to the cost!!!!!!!!!!!! I am certainly overwhelming out classed on this site if no one is rattled by a $50,000 whim buy, I spent 2 hours this morning trying to see if I could avoid paying a $300.00 increase in my car insurance.

Yes the money difference is huge on the ram and you are already out the cost of the mule deer hunt which was $12500. Ram was another $52500. I know that is a lot of money for anyone but to kill one in the US with an outfitter you are looking at a lot higher price for a ram in the 180’s. They are only on the mountains so we had to go to another ranch the last day to find them and you are going to be climbing, glassing and looking for them. Also be prepared to shoot 400-500 yards off a rock of shooting sticks. Ram is a dream of mine too but I can’t justify to myself that kind of price tag. He was happy and got a dream animal for himself. It was a great trip another $52500? or $5250? asking for a friend...;)

I think last year's Texas auction tag went for over 6 figures, maybe $120K.

I dont know a lot about rams but I figure if you have the money and want one that size then thats a real good price.
I do know a little about Mule Deer and there are a lot of guys that would pay that and more to hunt one that size.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

I hope no one thinks I am being critical at the $52.500 payout as I am a capitalist and a supporter of success !!!! I am awed!!! However and It does put my financial state in prospective compared to my fellow members here!!!!!

Very good point Hud. I view it as akin to so many watching Pro sports or watching a movie with a heroic character in it. Most folks like to get a peak inside what they want but cant have. Nothing wrong with that.
