And Utah says, Hold my Beer!

Get after it...I'll raise my hand in support.

Sorry, I was told by your folks, the reason we were all supposed to embrace the Patagonias of the world, was involvement of non traditional groups to "share the load". Am I still supposed to hold my breath, or can I exhale now?
 
Anyone else get the email last week saying to not freak out because the cost wasn’t going up this year?

I wonder if applications have been lighter than normal?

It just cost me 220 to apply. When I started it was 120 the first year and 60 the following. I’ll be curious to see when people start dropping out. Even at 220 I could just not spend that and head to Colorado in a few years with money I saved and guarantee a hunt
 
That email sure did read like next year though it will cost more
It most certainly will.

That should help the odds I can tell you that the deer hunt I did sure wasn’t worth 1300 fir the tag that’s insane
 
just when you think your holding your beer for utah,,i just seen that montana is proposing a 566% increase in the non redident licence increase in there legislative session,,they just keep bleeding the wound of non residents for money,,seems to never end.

So what it’s 9.99?
 
its actually $15,,but with a 566%increase it could jump up to$85 in montana on top of there tag/combo prices
Only one state is less do you blame them? 85 bucks is still pretty cheap considering you can draw tags here 120 in Utah is insane considering the odds of drawing a tag and actually hunting the state

That’s a very misleading statement.
 
even though they are not talking tag prices going up in montana,,its still all these little things that keep getting tacked on,,on top of $1200+ for a deer ,elk combo price,,the article i seen said 566% and caught my eye.

Are you talking about the ‘base hunting license’? Which is currently $15.
