Everything is expensive these days, I don’t think the $2,000 is going to sway many people.  Maybe I am wrong and I hate that hunting is getting so expensive, but so is everything else.

No way I'm paying 2k for a stinking elk. Especially for what WY has to offer in the trophy potential department

  I have 12 points and wasn't willing to pay the special this year to draw the unit I applied for. I missed the regular by 1 point and could afford the special, but wasn't willing to pay it to kill a raghorn. I think they are going to push a lot of younger hunters away from WY as they dont have the disposable income that some others have when they are more established. It's a money grab, but eventually hunters will bow out when it become harder to draw the regular and more expensive for the special draw. At this point, WY elk might become an OIL draw for me because of my age.

Son in law and I drew General.  4 pts and we spent the money and went special.  I'll be 61 for this hunt, so may be done buying WY Elk points.
