Nothing I know has increased in cost like NR hunt apps/tags.
I would say in 8 years there has been a 10 fold increase in apps fees. NR bighorn sheep $7 a point to $100, what?
Ah well. True these incremental increase are going to make it crazt expensive very very very soon.
I have to ask, who makes these decisions and who do they answer too, that is what we need to know to try to keep them reasonable.
Are there any residents that truely think it is fair for NR to pay $100 for a sheep point, knowing that if they have 5-10 points they are looking at DECADES of applying before there points MAY actually have ANY affect on drawing a tag? Any residents think it is ok for NR to hike, fish, camp, site see in wilderness but we suddendly need a GUIDE to hunt there? Sartcasim aside, I want to see if the residents really think this is ok, if so then the battle is lost, if not maybe it can be slowed to an acceptable pace. Mark my works after sucking us all into this expensive game and stocking points they will next cut the percentage of NR tags.
If you are just now starting the points game for sheep, maybe you just graduated high school and got a real job or you want to start appling your kid who is finalyl old enough, you will pay $100 a year (NOW this is sure to go up!) for, at a wild guess are least 30-40 years before the points make any difference in drawnig a tag. That is $4000 (it will actually be a lot more since WY is sure to follow there own pattern of rasing tag fees). $4000 for no increased odds up to that point.
What can we do to make this reasonable. Again I am not saying prices should not increase etc, but WY seems way way out of line.
