All this stuff does is gaurantee I will be buying out of state tags instead. Why pay extra to hunt a state that isnt that great when you cab hunt a betteer state with more critters and way less hunting pressure.

I agree. There is a reason I always spend the last two weeks of September and some of November in MT chasing elk and deer. This state is a joke in comparison.

I agree on going out of state.  However, nearly all of the western states have the same issues.  Giant privately owned ranches that are off limits to hunters unless they are willing to pay access fees or hunt with outfitters that have the ground leased.  Many of these large blocks of private ground have public land sections landlocked in them that are off limits to the general public.  The only saving grace about most of the western states is that they have more public ground and lower or controlled hunter numbers than we have here in Washington.  In Colorado the hunting/access rights on alot of the state land goes to the highest bidder.  Hunter access is a major issue everywhere that sadly is going to or has displaced people from land that they have recreated on for years or in some cases for generations.  I do not like it in some cases but respect the rights of private property owners to make their own independent decisions without involvement or influence from the government or other agencies.
