The radio this morning said fees are going up 20% next year. Anyone hear of this. I hope it was another State and not ours.
Not mine...the fees went down this year. I didn't even get a Big Game license and deer tag this year! I know of other guys that did the same. For varying reasons.....

Dang :bash: I was hoping that it was Washington raising their rate again. I do see it coming within the next few years.

It is getting expensive for our hobby called hunting. :-(

The other Colorado tags are going up as well, but not a significant amount.

They better not after the big increase we already had recently. I really doubt the WDFW would even consider it. I'm pretty sure they realize the prices are already at the upper limit of what people are willing and able to pay.
WDFW doesnt have to consider it.....that will be done for them.

With Jay Inslee as Governor now, I predict that they'll go up next year! The libs already voted to have that Socialist on the Seattle City Council! We are SKREWED!
Inslee already hiked up our personal plate fees to payoff the ranchers. Pure discrimination.......

In 2012 (don't have 2013 regs w me), resident hunt license was 12.75, deer tag 19.75, and elk tag 30.75. I would think a 20% increase on res tags would bring more money in than raising non res fees and chasing more non res away. The res fees are still a lot cheaper than ours.
From the 2013 regs; They don't break it down into separate categories, but a Big Game License W/Deer & Elk tag is $84.50, for a resident. $739 for a non-resident. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your figures for 2012 add up to $63.25 for the same thing. That's a $21.25 increase in 1 year. By my math, that's a 34% increase. Just in case they're wondering why less people bought Big Game licenses this year... Can't wait to see what they'll want next year! :dunno:

I've scaled back my tags just like the last 3 years. Archery deer small game waterfowl... thats it... May consider doing just waterfowl... OR may try and go the route of just predator hunting... :dunno:
I'll be 100% predator in a few years - wolves will be on the menu.
Hey were was that thread about the guy BBQ'n his wolf? Said it tasted good!
Oh and the meat eater video of them eating a yote....
Maybe I'll have Dale change my user name to WWhunter Wedge Wolf hunter :chuckle:
(seriously, can I reserve rights to that name?)
