Or you could just do what I do. Hunt in your own state and save up for the occasional out of state tag if you think the price is too high to go every year. I'd love to hunt elk in Montana but I havent done it yet, mostly because of the price of a NR tag.
But that's not Montana's problem, and it's not rocket science.
PS, when I was 18 I worked all summer and still probably couldn't have swung a western elk hunt even with the lower priced tags then. Never crossed my mind that I should be able to do it every year, that's for certain.
