I'm planning to hunt elk in Wyoming in 2021. The tag will cost more than a NR tag does here.
I guess I should start bitching about it now, and switch over to pissing and moaning in 2020??

When I was a NR hunter in Montana I never once bitched about the price of a combo tag. Actually I have always thought it was a great value.
I, in fact like Montana so much that I moved there and now dont have to pay NR rates. See how that works?

I'm never supprised by the number of cheap bastards. Perhaps you should hunt elk in your own state if the western states are too rich for your blood. I'm surprised when hunters are so naively accepting of socialism when it comes to hunting their animals. Socialism would dictate equal hunting fees for all at the expense of huge federal and state taxes. BWalker's example was more capitalistic. Capitalism is the government demanding large sums of money to hunt your game, and then redistributing that money to benefit other people like hikers and bikers? Hmmm The government isnt demanding anything. You are always free to vote with your pocket book.

What a bunch of bullsh**, nobody said that.
The animals belong to the people of each state. In this case, Colorado.

Ok, let's go at this from a different direction. If the state doubled the income tax rate next year would that be acceptable? Dont tell me it's not the same, because its exactly the same, only the #'s are larger. Would you be as accepting?

Dont tell me it's not the same, because its exactly the same, only the #'s are larger. Would you be as accepting? It’s nowhere near the same.... as everyone has the choice to hunt or not hunt. Maybe Colorado should raise the income tax rate on non-residents of the State.... then charge the resident tag rate for Non-resident hunters? What do out of state tags cost in your state?

Just strikes me odd to see how giddy some of you are to hand more of your hard-earned money over to the government, to hunt the Kings game. We could go round and round for days but it seems pointless with those of you so willing to board the train.....

Nobody bothers to tell you that from 45-55 you tend to put your head down and work yourself to death... At least I’m coming up for air.
Spot Yep, did that myself. Worked many hours of overtime in that stretch of life. Got my house retirement-ready. I will retire next August & I am now focusing on my desires. Recently bought a new Honda Pioneer & am mapping out my hunting venues through next March. Don't need to chase Elk or any other off-the-chart expensive hunts. There are all the Axis, Squirrels & Sandhill Cranes I would hope to harvest right here in Texas & that keeps me happy.

Who is it that you think should have a say in how any particular state sets its fees for non-resident tags, if not the citizens of that state? Citizens of another state? The federal government perhaps?

You say: “yes.... I want to hunt.... here’s my money.” Or You say: “no.... I don’t want to hunt.... I’ll keep my money.” Is that an option with income tax?

Living in Texas,I think it's cheaper and less work for me to hunt in-state than out of state these days.I hunted those high mountains of West Wyoming when I was younger and it was quite a workout for this flatland country boy.That kind of hunting was quite an experience.I did enjoy it,but dang,you guys work for it,especially if your hunting public lands.I think if you can get a private lands hunt,it would be worth it.

I'd be happy to see tag prices quadrupled accross the board, both NR and R. Taking the cheap bastards and culls out of the mix wouldn't be a bad thing IMO.
