Man, the money I pay in gas to shoot the occasional pheasant...holy cow.
Love the enthusiasm over a doe tag That's what its about, priceless memories, and for those who love all natural organic venison, that's exciting as a Quality tag to some.
I hate to burst your bubble but due to the greed of Wasington State your second deer tag is a rip off. Second deer tags are a meat only hunt due to them all being antlerless only. by the time you spend the $6.00 for application fee and the 350% rise in cost for the tag this year at right around $70.00 you arn't getting much bang for your buck. For $75.00 you can buy a lot of burger and steaks at WINCO. Not to mention your gas etc.
Ok Ok Ok. You guys are right! Its just so frustrating how the state is screwing us for tags. Its like they have us over a barrell and having there way with us. It would be one thing if all the money went into the wildlife but it goes into the general fund and we get so little back. I guess that might be a blessing because if it didnt go into the general fund the right wing tree huggers would outlaw hunting altogether in our state if they didnt get their money for their wacked out programs. When I put myself, Wife, three daughters, and one son in for licenses and special draws I felt like I got robbed, beaten, and molested all at the same time. I chose not to put in for second deer because I already was into it close to $1000.00 with all of the pemits. I do have a question for you all. Just how much would you pay for a doe tag? Just wonering.When I go to Montana to hunt deer I can buy them for around $70.00 each and never have.
PathfinderJR's 2nd Deer Tag from 2011. Looks like a $70 smile to me. I'll try to get some pics next time we go to the store and buy some burger, and we can compare grins. It might be a while though. I've still got plenty of venison in the freezer.
