Very interesting question. At this point in my life, no. I couldn't afford it.

My guess is less than 5% of deer hunters would be willing to and able to afford these proces to hunt.

However, after a few years of markedly decreased hunting and an un-surprising increase in car-deer fatalities, I think the state would have no choice but to drop prices back down to or below previous levels to get the herd back down to a manageable level.

Imagine the size of the bucks you could find if no one or 95% less people had hunted the area for 3-4 years! Even after you take out the ones hit by cars. Almost makes me drool just thinking about it!
