I still think that is too high!! Nevada used to be 95/5 or 90/10 until that lawsuit came in, then they opened up tags quite a bit for nonresidents!! I look at it this way. It takes a RESIDENT on average 10-15 years to draw a bull elk tag!! Some peopleNEVER draw and apply every year!! Sheep and goats, the average has got to be somewhere near 25 years or better, IF you EVER get one. I live 75 miles from the best elk country in the state, it took me 3 years of applying to draw a cow elk muzzleloader tag!! This year when they instated the nonresident cow hunts, nonresidents could draw the same tag in their first year!! Kinda makes me mad that I live here, pay taxes to the local economy, spend hours and hours driving these roads, know where a good majority of the animals are and still have to wait years to get a tag that a nonresident can get every year!! Didn't even draw a deer tag this year, just the elk, so all told, that elk tag cost me close to $400 (when you figure in all of the application fees, license, etc.).

Now, I am not complaining that it takes so long to draw, but I don't think non residents should have a better chance at drawing the same tag it takes me 3 years to get.

I actually like to hunt limited every year, it keeps the numbers of people down, and I don't get burned out on hunting. I only went on two hunts this year for big game. The other was to help a friend out on his antelope hunt (only tag he drew). Now I get to hunt small game and birds and fish all fall and if I don't feel like going out one day, its no big deal
