Simply a supply verse demand issue. If I was a resident of Utah, I would want and expect my out of state tags sell for the absolute highest price possible. When we sell our car, we all want top dollar for it. Simple business situation. Everyone tries to make something more out of it but that is what it is. Just busine myss.
Sad, but you are correct. Some influential people see hunting as just a business. It irritates them to no end that a hunter can go out and get a elk or deer for the comparatively cheap price of a license. They're doing their best to convince state authorities that these animals are just an asset and should be sold as such to the highest bidder. Of course they've figured a way to get a piece of that action. Sponsor big events where prime hunts donated in the name of conservation can be raffled or auctioned off and, of course, siphon off literally millions of dollars in service charges and expenses. Do a few conservation programs to paint a better portrait, but of course do it in areas areas that benefit the high end auction units you know you'll be putting up at the next show. Guess I'll stop my rant, maybe you're ok with hunting turning into a for profit , big business. Won't really effect me much either way in my old age.
Thats what's happening in a nut shell. Well posted unfortunately........
