2021 Commissioner Tag Auction
Please read all of this fine print before bidding!
Shoshone Back Country Horsemen is a non-profit 501(c)(4) service organization of volunteer caretakers of our public lands. Our core principles result in activities such as building trailhead corrals, installing trail signage, making parking improvements, keeping trails open into the back country, and generating interest in safe equine practices among area youth. 100% of auction proceeds will fund these types of educational and service projects and support better access to northwest Wyoming’s premier hunting areas. Should you decide to bid, our hearty thanks to you for your support!
Per Wyoming Game and Fish Department requirements, we hereby inform all potential bidders that (1) the auction winner must specify the game animal and area of hunt when applying to Wyoming Game and Fish for the actual license, and that once the actual license is issued the animal and area of hunt cannot be changed, cancelled, refunded, or transferred to another individual thereafter; and (2) that if the desired elk hunt area is Area 75, 77 or 79 (located inside Grand Teton National Park) then DO NOT BID ON THIS TAG -- the required concurrent US Park Service "Special Park Permit" for elk hunting is only issued through Wyoming Game and Fish Department's "limited quota drawings," and NOT through Commissioner Tag purchases!
Bidding opens at midnight at the beginning of March 1, 2021 MST and closes at midnight at the end of March 31, 2021 MDT. The minimum opening bid is $15,000.00. Bids can only be submitted online via the form shown below on this page. All bids are subject to immediate verification by personal contact by SBCH officers or their representatives on receipt. Any bids received outside the bidding period (as time/date-stamped by the receiving website server) will automatically be disqualified. The winning bid will be determined based on the highest verified bid received as of bidding period close (verification of qualified in-period bids will continue after bidding period close). The winning bid will be announced by personal contact and on this website on Thursday, April 1, 2021. The winning bid is final and will not be cancelled or refunded for any reason whatsoever once awarded. You must be 21 years of age or older to bid on this tag. The winning bid will be determined and awarded by SBCH officers, whose judgement is final.
Your purchase cannot be claimed as a charitable contribution for tax purposes. DO NOT BID if you are seeking tax relief! (We are a non-profit 501(c)(4) service organization, not a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization!)
