Ah, I hadn't heard that was a done deal.

Karl is correct, a non-resident draw is the recommendation of the working group and widely expected to be adopted by the commission. When I asked agency staff about changes they advised me to expect a change to controlled hunts for nonresidents, nobody knows what the small details will be but the change to a nonresident draw system is expected. Unless the current rule changes (which is not expected to happen) you must possess a hunting license to apply for controlled hunts.

I guess I need to do the math and see if the discount is worth it given what I typically buy.
In reality, I should probably get the lifetime license....

I did the math when I was buying hunting, fishing, deer, elk, bear, wolf and an archery permit. It ended up coming out about $15 cheaper to buy the sportsman’s package and get the turkey, mt lion, muzzleloader permit, and salmon/steelhead included

I wondered if that was going to be the case. But then again, you cannot get a 3 year sportsman's package. So the gamble is, will base process go up in the next 3 years?

For residents the sportsman package is a better deal if you want all the tags. :tup:
No sportsman package is offered for non-residents, so with the likely upcming price increase the 3 yr is a good deal.

The voters passed a draw application fee along with applicant requirements to have a valid hunting license
