Big Game Hunting > Out Of State Hunting
Utah bend over
Bob33:
The state wildlife agencies will get twice as much money from half as many hunters so they'll be OK. The businesses that depend on tourism and related industries such as outfitting will suffer.
Stein:
Man, when MT cracked $1k for elk everyone freaked out. UT is going to $3,710?? They'll sell them though and use the money to put pictures of families on the regulation pamphlet and talk about tradition and keeping the culture alive.

--- Quote from: bearpaw on March 18, 2025, 10:11:06 AM ---I think the single biggest problem in every western state is the increasing resident population that all want a bigger share of the tags so non-residents are getting the shaft because the wildlife belongs to the residents of each state. I think this trend will only get worse as populations increase across the west.

Agree 100%, the non resident allocation is smaller and smaller which is why I stopped NM. When they knock it down to 10% by the time you draw you have a lot invested. That's if you want to draw a quality area. If I had kids that I wanted to hunt a quality area out of State I would think twice.

Man, those are steep prices. This is why I’ve gone back to mostly bird hunting. It’s affordable to do as much as I want. I can still afford bear, Montana antelope & deer/elk in Idaho, if I can get a tag. But that’s because Idaho has generous discounts for disabled hunters, even non resident
big wood:
I think it's all the you tubers posting there hunts causing more competition from the rest of the country that we never had to deal with. Like goegia, Tennessee, north Carolina etc. Those boys never applied for western states. Internet is ruining our way of life
