I might be off base but the issue with judging that kind of money being spent on something like that is that most folks don’t comprehend having that much expendable money. I know I can’t.
I doubt that the guy that won the auction was even interested in the hunt. He was looking for a tax deduction. That’s what he got quick and easy.
And he chose a deserving disabled vet as the beneficiary to it. Good on him. Congrats to the vet and all that helped pull it off.
YMMV
