State is sure making some money

The number of deer permits has increased this year from 4000 to 8500 and elk permits from 850 to 1000, so your chances of winning are even greater.

Thats an increase in revenue by 720,000 for deer and 24,000 for elk at 160 bucks a pop.  It might be higher this year.  Haven't checked that out yet.

ooooops 181.50 a piece.....   THATS 816,750.00 for extra for the deer and 27,225.00 for elk more than last year with just the increase in number of tags.

Its all about the $$$...Too bad it will go to the general fund.

I wonder how this will skew the harvest %.


I didn't realize how many more tags they were going to issue.   WOWZERS

[bobcat]

I thought it was $182.

And, it doesn't go to the general fund. Unless the governor finds a way to steal it.

i swear to god, if i dont draw a multi tag this year the drawings are rigged.......

I saw a rumor on another thread that bows will be allowed during ML this year. I didn't see this in the proposed revisions. Does anyone have accurate info about this?

Thanks Bobcat. Would've been nice to use during ML if I get a Multi-season tag.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to throw up this post!  Nice work Bone!    It's all about the money.....

[Special T]

Did they sell out all the Multiseason tags last year? I think they are going to TRY and bring in more $$$. Not so sure that that will work out for them... I know i will be triming way back this year. I may just get a bear tag and duck hunt...

[boneaddict]

Be dumb like me.  Buy the tag then shoot your deer on day one of early archery.

i am gonna run barebones this year. i put in for MS permit but if im drawn im just gonna let it go back to the pool and pocket a bonus pt. they need the extra dough to manage the wolves, i.e. pay salaries for the wolf monitors who will watch them eat the deer and elk they are selling the tags to the suckers for. HAHAHAHAHA
