Utah Antelope Island Buck

[JimP]

I was just sent this picture of a buck taken out on Antelope Island this year.

Make sure that you have your drooling bib on.

Cool buck but IMO Jimmy John is not a hunter.
Money can buy you some pretty cool animals though.

Unreal, but for $725,000...... Crazy

 

[Colorado Cowboy]

If you have enough money, you can buy just about anything!

 

[JimP]

There is also a resident tag holder out there that got the tag through Utah's draw system.

I haven't heard anything about him yet.

Just looked it up, Utah's tag went for $500,000.

Arizona's went for the $725,000

The highest price ever paid for big-game auction tags was shattered at the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo.

Yup, I had them mixed up

That’s a giant buck, but not a very good looking buck. Way too gangly looking. Gimme a big typical any day.

Been on that Island many times. Huge buck!

I would do a lot of other things with $725k but I guess if I had it to spend like this guy I probably would do the same thing.

Then there is the tax write off.

A Multi Season Premium Limited Entry deer tag in Utah goes for $1330 for a non resident. So not being a tax lawyer I think that $723,670 pf that $725K is tax deducible.

But I agree, if I had hit the Power Ball for a few hundred million I may of been sitting next to him bidding up the price of the hunt.

JJ always bids high and wins auction tags. Impressive deer but not impressed with how it was hunted. Small army of guys glassing every inch of realestate for the last 6 months. Im sure they had eyes on this guy everyday for months.

Much respect for guy who started making sandwiches in college. Show what hard work, determination and the willingness to bet it all can do. Lots of respect for that man. Some of us understand what signature guarantees mean.

 

[JimP]

It'll be interesting if the draw tag holder post his buck somewhere, but I am sure that it will be out there.

Whatever.
Oh wait, that was just your opinion … ok.

In general, what a bunch of winers, or weiners, whichever you identify as today. Self made money. Broke no game laws as far as we know. Less than half is tax deductible. Money goes to Game and Fish, not some stupid DEI program. Look in the mirror before you let your green envy show up on a blog.
Really disappointed in these responses for the most part.
Iv'e spoken with multiple people who have hunted with Jimmy John and not a single one has had a bad thing to say about the guy.
Get a life.

I know nothing about the guy.
I just know that he looks happy and we all secretly wish that was us holding that deer! Lol
