There are probaly more people that live in st.louis county and city than in the entire state of montana. Like I said I don't mind paying extra for a deer tag but over $500 is wrong. I don't think montana could keep there roads, schools and other infrastructure if it was not for the help of federal money that we all pay into. Due to population alone more money has to come from non-residents than residents to keep that infrastructure.
If the game is stated owned get it off of federal land. I might want to come see some bushes or something and I don't want those valuable deer eating the chit.
I am really pissed about tags going up that much. There were five us going muledeer hunting next year (if we could get a tag) and now two of those guys are out and I am undecided. By the time we pay for fuel, hotel rooms and trespass fee each deer will cost about $2500. It just pisses me that the state thinks the need to make a extra $200 per person.
