In my opinion, $1500 for a buck tag doesn’t sound too bad. I‘ve still never been on an antelope hunt, but I paid for a one in New Mexico a few years ago but ended up having to work.Yea I feel very fortunate. Lot of people never get drawn. I’ve been extremely blessed in the draws. About 20 years ago I got drawn for a cow tag in the Wichita Mts. That’s back when it was once every ten years. Now I’m trying for a bull!!
You can buy landowner tags out there but they aren’t “cheap”. The landowner I hunted off of gets $1500 each for his buck tags.
