Licenses often bring high prices at auction.
To my knowledge, that s the most that has been spent on an auction license at the Foundation for Northern Wild Sheep Convention. The Colorado Wildlife Commission originally established auctions and raffles for hunting licenses for sheep and goat in 1989 and for moose in 1995. We didn t expect to get as much for deer, elk, and pronghorn licenses as we get for sheep, goat and moose, Ellenberger said. It s a simple matter of supply and demand. The money generated from the auction and raffle licenses may only be used for research, education and habitat projects for the respective species.
