I think the state thought by increasing the tag fees that the numbers of applicants will be less thus allowing the draw success to be higher. Higher draw rates will help the outfitters plan their hunts. In the end everyone is happy except for the "average nonresident hunter" who can't justify $528 for a deer tag or $928 for an elk.

The best part of hunting and fishing was the thinking about going and the talking about it after you got back. - Robert Ruark
