We have been hunting a private ranch that has federal ground around it. We have thought about skipping the trespass fee and just hunting public ground. It might be hard to find 5 bucks to shoot on public ground in 5 days of hunting.

Its not so much the $200 as it seems everytime we turn around there is a fee for this or that. It gets old paying $10 here and $20 there for stupid chit the state dreams up. I know everyone is right that someday that $200 won't matter but telling everyone about killing a muledeer will matter.

I don't think $328 was unreasonable for a deer tag but $527 just makes me fighting mad. Theres only two options pay it or don't go. I just have not made up mind if its worth it.
