Drew my Mt Goat tag as a non-res with 3-6 in 2017. I'm soooo glad I did just before all this. I was super lucky obviously. The $100 fee would have been real hard to continue knowing all the guys who are jumping in the pt game. Doesn?t matter the cost these state game agencies know the appeal for tags so people will still pay/buy. It's only going to get much worse.
I mean what are my chances to draw another non-res trophy species in any state let alone in Colorado. I have pts in Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, and Montana. I apply in my home state for Rocky/moose just depends on the year. I've drawn a Desert in Utah, I apply in Idaho for sheep. A guy really has to ask himself what are the realistic odds of getting lucky again. Hundreds of dollars each year to sustain this application strategy..... I'll probably keep betting!
