For the record I pointed out that Wyoming is now more in my original post. So by your numbers there will be less than $1 million in total fees in relation to the Montana sheep draw. How much of that money goes directly towards sheep conservation?
Somebody spent 1/3 of a million dollars that almost all of it goes to sheep conservation and you want to say that they are cutting in line??? The sheep populations across the USA wouldn't be in as good of shape as they are in if it weren't for the big money donors who put their money (and time) where their mouth is for sheep.
These folks that buy these tags are providing MORE opportunity for the working class to hunt sheep by providing the needed dollars that go directly to sheep conservation. And yet you can't let your jealousy of their situation go and just say "thank you."
