ONLY THE RICH GET TO HUNT !!!!! MILLIONAIRES & BILLIONAIRES FIRST
ITS THE WAY THE US WORKS NOW !!!!!
We didn’t get to see the cost decrease or increase from the state increasing the price in 2024. I wanted to see how this affected the game and fish doing this price increase. I have 5 points and I don’t want to loose those points. I’ll keep putting in til I draw then I’m out. Too bad Wyoming. My home state growing up.
It’s all perspective! I say quadruple the tag fees for non-resident! Went on a non-res Arizona Fort Apache White Mountain elk hunt last year, amazing. Yes, it was very expensive but your getting opportunities at 400 class bulls ! Great memories are worth every penny.
That is the Apache’s fee, super expensive and also mandates an Apache guide on top of that. Not the Az G&F fee.
If you hunt Nation Forest, all fees should cost the same.
You are wrong Grasshopper. The animals are the property of the State, and managed by the State for it’s citizens. The State allows non-residents to hunt them, for a fee.
