Sucks man.  So is this years draw going to be on the 2023 line?

Ridiculous, the western states are just playing leap frog with each other now to see how far they can push it until sales decline. Pretty apparent with a 260% increase in the last 6 years alone that my kids won’t get to experience out of state hunting like I did. Can’t imagine what tags will cost 15 years from now

This increase definitely, makes me question if I should continue to build points in Utah. I understand the price increases every few years, but to just double everything seems like a slap in the face.

It's my home state, and my brother whom I love to hunt with still lives there.
But it sure is getting steep......

I'll bow out.  I don't mind paying a higher tag price but when the cost just to apply is that high, for absolutely dismal draw odds a guy has to know when its just time to walk away. I'll still hunt utah but it'll just be zero point general deer.  Heck it would be almost $900 for me and both kids to apply if we continued with all species🤮

I agree the odds are a big factor... I was more referring to the tag prices.

It'll be interesting to see how big of a drop off, if any, they'll have in non res applications. Guessing other states will be watching the results also. To much for me, probably just go tag along with family members there

Thinking about burning the handful of general deer points I have this year and being done with Utah. Option B is to just be done with Utah and not worry about the few points I have. I won’t be paying $832 for a general deer tag

I don't think there's much support for encouraging non resident hunters in Utah. Years ago the influx of non resident hunters was a major economic boost to many smaller southern and central state areas.  Now the non hunting tourist visits to those areas has more than offset the loss of the non resident hunters.I think some areas (Moab area as an example) would really prefer hunters stayed away. I think that's getting to be a problem in many western state areas as the non hunting tourist population has increased hunters have lost the support of many smaller rural communities.  They simply don't need our money as much as they used to, and don't like sharing their big game with out of state hunters.  Suspect you're going to see these price increases continue.

Agree!  Utah's population has really increased.

Wow! If you have F-U money it will be great as I am sure it will cut down on the competition. Seeing the attitude our State toward hunters that will probably be our resident fee’s soon.

I think the single biggest problem in every western state is the increasing resident population that all want a bigger share of the tags so non-residents are getting the shaft because the wildlife belongs to the residents of each state. I think this trend will only get worse as populations increase across the west.
Americans are systematically advocating, legislating, and voting away each others rights. Support all user groups & quit losing opportunity!
