I am starting to think its foolish for the future of hunting to have a smaller base of paying customers (aka hunters that also vote) than a larger base but that's "just my opinion."

For elk, MT nonresidents pay 96% of the cost.

A tag going up $500 in a single swoop doesn't bode well for the future of hunting in my opinion. Good news for those that can afford it I guess.

We seem to be in a period where the states are racing to figure out what price results in the maximum revenue without regarding the heritage or affordability. The end game is some guy paying $5 million to buy one tag and hunt by himself.

I agree with all of what is being said here. It seems most wildlife managers would auction/raffle their mother off if they figured it would bring another nickel into the department. Its a very sad and frankly terrifying future...when only millionaires can afford to hunt.
