Imagine how much it would be if the money had to be fronted for the permits. :chuckle:

At the risk of having several of you looking for a rope!!
I'm all in favor of up front for tags!! Eliminate the points. To any of you who draw your going to have to come up with the funds so whats the difference if they have it now or latter. They would refund everything but the cost of the permit draw fees.

Would make everyone review what they want to hunt instead of just blanket apps. 

But then I also have played that way when you had to upfront all the Moose,Goat and sheep tags.     :hello:

No ropes from me, I remember when you had to front the money for OIL tags and my odds were MUCH better then.

I am out $500 this year for just my tags and permits.  My wife was another $170 and she hardly hunts at all right now....Whe only hunts if she draws a doe or second deer tag, otherwise I am just building points  :yike:  I KNOW, I KNOW.....I am crazy, but one of these days when she has more time I want her to experienced a nice bull elk or Rutting Mulie hunt.

Like I have heard!! "You pay your money and you take your chances!!!"

Just like playing the Lotto it only takes one ticket to win! Or so I have been told.

Sit back and watch! Wait until they throw the coveted Wolf tag into the mix. You will have people working street corners to come up with the money for it!!   :chuckle:

Sorry I didn't mean to push this off the topic.  I'm still struggling with giving them any money this year.

Figure I will be ahead floating.

I just put in for the big 3 for myself (28 years and still no tag).  I went whole hog for my 13 year old daughter.  She put in for everything but antler less deer.  She refuses to shoot a doe.  I'm hoping that she can pull the Mudflow or Skookumchuck youth tag with 3 points.  Everything else is really unlikely.  The price of permit apps has gotten waaaaaaaaay out of hand for the odds.

I didnt know until it was too late. But my father didnt purchase a app or even his hunting license this year.
He said after all the cost of fishing and boat license he couldnt afford it. Retired and limited income.

Next year Ill buy them for him. after all he paid for me growing up. (wish he would of said something)
I wish there was some discount for older people in this state. I mean how much of a threat are they anyway. Dad cant walk more then a few hundred yards from his truck for fear of his back going out. Or gout in his legs. apps aint bad but the total cost is nuts for people like him. So much for growing the sport when the grandkids cant enjoy poppa in camp. or spend time on a stand with the ole grey bearded wealth of knowledge.
No if ands or Buts just Maybee.

You still have all day today to purchase licenses and applications, and get them submitted. Only takes a few minutes to do it online.

I'm in for just shy of $500.00 for my son and I and we still need to buy federal duck stamps later in the year. 

As far as the oil tags paying up front, I do miss that.  It probably kept a ton of people out of the system.
