If you go to their website this is open to public comment. I may be being cheap but I asked for them to consider lowering the non-resident price tag. I know it will be a highly sought after hunt but $6000 seems pretty spendy for an average hunter that would like to have a shot at a Griz in there lifetime :dunno: I will do points option if available until im rich!
sounds pretty reasonable to me. supply and demand after all. how many other lower 48 grizzly tags can you get cheaper? if anything its low for non rez and any one who isn't a resident of Wyoming should be happy there even made available. Idaho's one tag there talking about better be resident only

I totally understand the supply and demand but I still think they should lower the price so not just people with deep pockets can go on this hunt. Idaho will probably make that one tag an even draw open to anyone lol. More income that way in apps.

100% agree with you 180 grain, on everything you just said! 6,000 is ridiculous for a bear. And I hope Idaho opens it up to everyone.If you go to their website this is open to public comment.

6000 dollars is outrageous! I will be putting in though :chuckle: and so will a million other people. I think there is a good chance idaho will make it residents only which I agree is correct with only 1 tag available. Idaho has a decent record of not chasing money with every game decision they make unlike most other states

Not that many at $6 grand, pay up front.Didn’t even think of that! That may kick me out.
I could scrimp and come up with it if I had to but not sure I could up front. :chuckle:
EDIT. after reading it doesn’t look like the pay up front will apply to this like regular draw. Just $15 app fee. It says that residents get the first 75% of the tags before nonres are allowed to draw. Looks more like a list hunt with 2 active tags at a time until the quota is met or 2 sows are killed.
Post by: BULLBLASTER on March 28, 2018, 08:25:33 PM
Will be a very short notice hunt also. No ability to plan timing or vacation since tags are issued as the previous are filled.
This all just from the proposed rules

I didn’t read this before my other post. This makes things a lot different for me not sure I would pay 6000 and then have the quota filled early. They had what I remember as unlimited draw tags in northwest Montana when I was there in the early 80s and sometimes the hunt barely opened because they counted bears killed by trains etc in the quota. Also didn’t think about the non res guide requirements as a possibility. If they require a guide I will not put in and I think that would decrease the apps quite a bit

You would only have to pay for the tag if your name is up and there is still quota or season left. It’s $15 until that pointNot that many at $6 grand, pay up front.Didn’t even think of that! That may kick me out.

I think a non res tag in Alaska for grizzly is only 1k.I realize you have to hire a guide but 6k does seem high. :twocents:
I was reading about this hunt somewhere yesterday. The AK grizzly hunt was brought up and it was said that an "average" guided grizzly hunt runs around $20k. I can't verify that, but that's what I read.

So you draw, buy the tag on a Thursday and head towards Wyoming. They fill the quota Friday - are you out 6k?You can’t get a tag unless the quota isn’t met. As the proposals are written there is no chance of yu getting a tag and not being allowed to hunt
Or is it only 2 active hunters at a time, then they call you once it's your turn?
2 active tags at a time. Once they tag out if there is still quota then they will move down the list one at a time
This for hunt areas 1-6 (only ones nonres can apply for) if I read right

I agree. :tup: Thats what i was thinking around 20k maybe a little less but not much when all is said and done.Reason for the cost is no different in my OP. than anything else that is required.When rules like non res need to be guided the price can will and does skyrocket. :twocents:These grizzly hunts in WY. will fetch a premium whether they have to have a guide or not.I think a non res tag in Alaska for grizzly is only 1k.I realize you have to hire a guide but 6k does seem high. :twocents:

Quite a few Alasakan grizzly hunts are 20-25k but you can find good ones for 10-15k range also. Not that the price is cheap... but I feel like saving up for a grizzly hunt in Alaska would be easier than this wait and see if drawn and then wait and see if quota was filled or not plus having to rush over to get your license and hunt without any real time to set things up 100%.I agree. :tup: Thats what i was thinking around 20k maybe a little less but not much when all is said and done.Reason for the cost is no different in my OP. than anything else that is required.When rules like non res need to be guided the price can will and does skyrocket. :twocents:These grizzly hunts in WY. will fetch a premium whether they have to have a guide or not.I think a non res tag in Alaska for grizzly is only 1k.I realize you have to hire a guide but 6k does seem high. :twocents:

At that rate... you can save up for a couple years and just go to Alaska. Was just looking online and there are quite a few good looking outfitters, one in denali with really good reviews, that offer spring grizzly/brown bear hunts for $10,000 with a $2,000-$2,500 trophy fee. If its $1,000 for a tag then you are looking at $13,000-$13,500 not including getting up there but that's not bad for a true giant Alaskan grizzly. Imo, and this is just my opinion, I will save up my money and put it toward the Alaskan hunt with a guide.One out :IBCOOL:
