you need to first prove to me why NRs "deserve" it how they want it.
seems the surveyed sentiment is that R's are willing to raise prices to deal with loss of NR dollars. as that sentiment grows stronger your so called "you need us" argument grows weaker. and we don't need you anyway, because cpw will raise NR prices anyway as well if they have to to make up for loss of NR.
it's like buzz always said about wyoming, NR's have had it maybe too good for too long, while the people that live here are watching the quality of the experience tank further with each year.
I already stated to you why we deserve it. Several times now. Its all in the financials.
NR Hunters provide MASSIVE funding to your state. Therefore we should be rewarded for that.
If your willing to take it on the chin and limit NR tags by raising your Resident prices to 2X 3X or whatever it takes then get with the CPW and put your money where your mouth is and do it. I encourage you to do that. But you shouldn't just sit there and say you deserve more tags. That's a bit ridiculous.
Until you open up your billfolds and shell out the cash the CPW is going to continue to give NR tags because that's where the money is coming from. Obviously.
BTW the sad part is that this is coming from a guy who who would love to see caps and waiting periods placed on OTC licenses. Even if it is only for NR hunters. Both ideas that would help you dramatically from a pressure standpoint.
If I was you I would point your fight towards legislature to change the % going to LPP if I was you (if that's even worth pursuing).
All good conversation and I hope the hunting gets better for you in some capacity or another but I feel that you guys have it pretty dang good as it is for the money you spend for a license.
