Wyoming non-res license fees on the rise

[conibear]

Tag prices are no problem, go be poor someplace else.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to wash some late season cow elk blood off my Patek Philipe Nautilus.

20 years later and the exact same threads are being created it seems almost weekly.

20 years ago, it was $220 increased to $272 and people were worried about "being priced out". I honestly don't know if there was an app fee back then or if it was just the $272.

Today that cost is $374 + $15 app fee + 2.5% processing = $398.73

I was curious so I looked at what $272 back in 2003 is worth now based on the US inflation. I was shocked to see that that $272 would be $450.43 today. I guess Wyoming needs to still bump up that deer tag cost

Hasn’t even kept up with inflation and people still complain. We need to just tie license fees to inflation and be done with this nonsense.

Hi Y'all,
I recieved the new(2004) Wyoming hunting application booklet yesterday and noticed that the non-resident deer licenses are up to 272.00 this year.Last year it was 220.00.I guess thats just the way things are going to be for hunting the west.Every year it gets closer and closer to the fact that only the wealthy will be hunters in the future.Sure some of you will say "Aw 272.00 aint much".Not to those that have plenty of spare bucks$$to spend.What will it be next year after that(2005)325.00 then(2006)375.00?
Up,and up we go.Wyoming was one of the best deals out west,but it seems to want more and more money too.Montana cost 1000.00 non-res.I guess my hunting days west of the mississippi are coming close to an end.I work on construction and although I make out pretty good,the costs are just getting too high.I have a family that comes first.I saved all year to get enough money to make a DIY hunt this year.Oh well!!just my 2 cents.

Dang, to go back in a heartbeat
