No doubt, NR tag pricing is ridiculus! The price to play the whitetail game in states such as IL, IA, and KS is getting staggering.... add an Outfitters cost into the equation and you can easily see why many folks would never be able to experience one!
I say let's simply BAN all NR hunting, or atleast here in IL.

All kidding aside, it's become strictly a money game for ourDNR as well as our Farm Bureau, who controls more than the DNR does in my state! There's no end in sight, just be thankful that they don't limit the tags like they used to.You have to pay a bunch butatleast you canstill get one every year.
