For a long time, Kansas didn't allow NR deer hunting until it was threatened by other states not to allow Kansas hunters to hunt BG in their states. Kansas then realized how much revenue NR BG hunters brought in for the agency and the state, consequently NR BG hunters were allowed to participate. When money becomes the driving factor for BG wildlife management in any state, there will be no ceiling to how much can be charged for tags.
That's just it. In many western states game management has went out the window in the name of keeping those NR dollars flowing in. Formerly prime hunting areas likenthe Missouri breaks and SE montana are a shell of what they where do to this.
