How much will a General Season cost in 2012?

[TheElitehornhunter]

LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-10 AT 06:28PM (MST)[p]I heard from a very good source that GS tags will cost more than $75 in 2012 and Non Res tags will be around $350 dollars.

Can anyone guess what the real price will be?

 

[D13er]

it's gonna be $145 for resident and $215 for NR from what I heard...

[TheElitehornhunter]

Non res will be higher. They already pay $263

 

[TheElitehornhunter]

Which brings up another point.....LE deer tags will see a price hike of at least 3 times what it is now.

 

[hornkiller]

I hope your right d13er. I think that bow hunters should have to pay $10 a day for every day they want to hunt past what the rifle guys get! That will make more money to go into wildlife. Plus not as many guys will be out there flippin arrows for a full month. Its a joke IMO!

 

[TheElitehornhunter]

If you are so upset with bowhunters getting all this extra time then what is stopping you from picking up a bow?

Let me guess if I may.....Your bow must have a minimum pull of 40
pounds at the draw or the peak, whichever
comes first.

You could only pull 35 pounds back?

 

[hornkiller]

Well i killed a deer at 70 yards. It took 3 arrows in him to get it done! How high do you think i was holding?

 

[brutus]

I heard res will cost $250 and non res $750.

Give me a break its 13000 less tags. they still had around 8000 tags left over last year.

Maybe $5-$7 more for residents, sounds like doomsday doesnt it.

Elite, Why would a LE tag cost 3 times as much?

 

[TheElitehornhunter]

LAST EDITED ON Dec-23-10 AT 07:42PM (MST)[p]Brutus use the brain in your skull and get back to me. Hint: LE tags cost more money than GS tags.

BTW tags sold out last year, but maybe you're talking about 8,000 SFW lynching tags.

Do you ever think of getting closer or would that fart blow your cover?

 

[hornkiller]

Didnt have to now adays bows kill animals out to 150-170 you just got to hit them. Didnt you know that? I could have ran him over with my truck but i wanted to fling some arrows!
No i didnt have gas on that day but thanks for thinking of my behind.

 

[TheElitehornhunter]

So again I will ask you......what is wrong with bowhunters having extra time to hunt?

 

[brutus]

>Which brings up another point.....LE deer

No sh!t LE tags cost more. But were do you figure there will be a price of at least 3 times what it is now?

Can you have a debate without insults or are you really that small and that makes you feel bigger.

 

[TheElitehornhunter]

Well sometimes to get a point across then I have to stoop down to your level of reasoning.

Brutus do a little math and maybe that will help you out.

 

[brutus]

Did I miss the part were they decided on cutting the LE permits by 3 times? Please show a poor uneducated guy such as myself where you came by this info "ELITE". Pleeease.

 

[TheElitehornhunter]

Think about it Brutus, if they raise the prices on the GS tags then they will raise the prices on the LE tags otherwise the GS tags will cost more than LE tags.

 

[hornkiller]

"So again I will ask you......what is wrong with bowhunters having extra time to hunt?"

You tell me why bow hunters should get a month?

Dont give me some bullsh!t anser about its alot harder with a bow. they get 2 months to scout when there is no presure the bucks are all bunched up and a whole handfull of other reasons along with these.


I'm just saying give the archery tags 9 days to hunt and if they want to hunt a month they pay ten bucks for every day after the 9 given days up front. I heard all about its harder to kill a deer with a bow isn't that why you do it? It will give extra money for the d.w.r. it will save more deer and it will make all the hunts more fair with every weapon. If you dont like the idea of only 9 days to bow hunt then dont do it! 90% of die hard bow hunters are all butt hurt because there going to have to choose a unit in 2012. Bet ya there is alot of guys going to rifle hunt after the changes.

LE tags current cost $75

GS tag after $5 hike to cover lost revenue $40

How is the GS tag more expensive than LE tag?

Think about it ELITE.

Add a few numbers before you take some "reliable sources" word for it.

Pay attention...... ready..... in 2012 GS tags prices and LE prices will increase. GS tags will be $140 dollars. LE will be more than $140 dollars.

Hornkill, rperkins and brutus have to be the same troll...
Seriously I can be a pretty big A-hole most of the time but this dude is the next level.

I seriously hope the human gene pool hasn't been diluted to the point that this is actually 3 different dudes. Please in the name of God tell me my hypothesis is correct.

Please be praying that troll's sister gets home soon and he'll have something to do other than lower the collective IQ here at MM














2010 TOTALS

UTAH WILDLIFE BOARD = 13,000 HUNTERS GONE

 

[brutus]

Where on earth are you pulling that number out of? Why is that number so high? Their only needs to be a $5 hike in GS tags to recoup the $ lost from the 13000 tags. So why does the LE tags need to go up? LE has nothing to do with GS tags.

Its like arguing with a teenager with you. You know your right cause you just know. Pleeeeease tell me where your coming up with these numbers and the math you used to justify a $140 GS tag.

 

[brutus]

WW, tell me how you really feel.

 

[HorseCreek]

Hornkiller, please get out of your west valley meth lab and check yourself into rehab!

[wileywapati]

Alright Brut maybe that was a little harsh... Let me take a stab at "splainin" the finances to ya.

A certain amount of tag dollars is matched by the Feds. So you are not just losing the $35.00 dollars x 13,000 tags you are actually losing approximately 3 times that much in matching funds. Now, that being said, the Feds dole out the cash according to the amount of licenses sold on a sliding scale. The more permits sold the higher the ratio in matching funds the state gets back.

P.R. Funds come from excise taxes on ammo, arrows and so on. If 13,000 of us have no need for this in 2012 then you cut even deeper than just losing out on the permits.

This is why you cant get a concrete answer about what prices will be next year.

The $140.00 is a little less than what I heard.

The tag cutting proponents expect a LOT more management on these 29 units but they cut all the necessary funding to make this a reality. Not only funding for deer but for all other DWR managed species as well, fish, waterfowl, upland game and probably law enforcement.





2010 TOTALS
P.E.T.A. = 0 HUNTERS GONE
UTAH WILDLIFE BOARD = 13,000 HUNTERS GONE

 

[TheElitehornhunter]

We also need to take into account that from all this snowfall from this last snowstorm then this winter might be another bad winter kill in many parts of the state thus reducing the permits lower than 13,000 tags because the buck to doe ratios will be lower than right now.

 

[brutus]

Didnt know anything about the feds adding funds. Sounds like the DWR have insentive to keep tags as high as possible. Hope your wrong on tag prices.

BTW if the DWR is unsure what the price increase is, then where is these other numbers coming from and how are they figuring it out? Just curious

 

[wileywapati]

Like I mentioned above, just an unconfirmed figure at this point.
no hard prices yet but what I was told second hand was more than $140.00 for a G.S. tag

[hornkiller]

horsecreek how abot you dink a nice glass of shut the **** up then go ride your horse up ****creek how about that!

WW i was asked a ? from elite and i gave him my anser. It seems like you didnt like it so i take it your a feather flipper? Sorry to piss you off.

Why the hell would i have 3 diffrent names on here? When i can say what i want being hornkiller and not giving a rats a$$ what any of you think!

 

[isayNUNYA]

Hopefully more than elitehorn can afford.

 

[Aaron84]

I agree with hornkiller and im a bow hunter, not a avid one but I hunt with a bow. Other states have short bow seasons. They do just fine. But no matter what I or you think is right, someone will disagree with our opinions. To each there own!!! Oh and my dad can beat up your dad na na na.

 

[long_mainbeam]

If you didn't care what people thought, you wouldn't be so pissed off in your posts. Just a thought.

 

[slcmuley]

The tag cuts will only equal 12-15% when it's all said and done.
My guess is this will put GS tags at $40-45 figuring in a little inflation.

The tags were reduced to $35 when the small game license became mandatory.

The reason the small game license became mandatory is because of the Pittman/Robertson federal funds.

I will explain the federal funds if needed. Utah was one of the last states to follow suit to get a fair share of the federal money available.

 

[HorseCreek]

Hornkiller you are the definition of Utard! Get a life and move out of your grandmas basement!

[hornkiller]

I really would kick you in the nuts if i ever seen you in person horsecreek! But i try to stay away from yuppiville so i will probly never get the chance.

 

[Castnshoot]

Wow! Merry Xmas.

 

[theox]

there only predicted to go up like 6 bucks some somewhere around 40 ish

 

[huskyhunter25]

If the price is around $140 for a GS tag for 2012, than do you think a lot of people will get into elk hunting instead? cause the tag would be less than half that price and elk are much bigger so more meat and it tastes a ton better than deer anyways. just a thought. cause its not like our public elk herds are that great to begin with.

and hornkiller. i am an avid bowhunter and went out around 50 times this year including scouting and didnt fill my tag. bowhunting is a ton harder. i could of killed over 50 bucks if i had a rifle. but just couldnt get close enough for bow range. and i would say most bow hunters are better for the deer management cause most of them are not going to just go out and kill the first 2 pnt they see like all the rifle hunters out there. cause they only get 9 days and most rifle hunters only hunt the weekend so they will take the first thing with horns. this whole $10 day pass is a stupid idea. you have all of these bowhunters flinging arrows on the front during the rut and yes lots of bucks get taken. but look at how many there are year after year there. its the best public unit in the state by far. and is pretty darn close to as good as the Henrys because of the terrain. Thats what makes bow hunting so hard. is the terrain is much harder than a lot of rifle areas.

 

[540BnC]

i also heard about a $6 increase, putting them around $41. But why worry about it? whatever they do, people will think it is wrong. i can't imagine paying more than $100 for a GS tag. as poor as buck numbers were this year, i thought $35 was too much for a rifle tag. i hunt NE and during the 5 day hunt saw maybe 350 to 400 does and fawns, and maybe a dozen bucks. no joke. and the best one was a 2x3. the majority of the others were spikes. i have not shot a deer since 2001. i have seen some good bucks, but nothing i wanted to put my tag on. i can't help but think that if the tags for GS jump that much, the DWR will lose more than the tags they cut, they will also lose a good number of hunters unwilling to shell out $100+ for the chance to hunt deer with the numbers as poor as they are currently are. i know deer hunting is not always about killing something, but it would be nice to see bucks that at least make you think about pulling the trigger. maybe i am always just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

 

[huskyhunter25]

your not in the wrong place at the wrong time there 540bnc. there are NO bucks on the NE unit. i felt the same way trying to help my family fill their NE tag. saw plenty of does and a hand full of really small bucks.
