I have a hard time buying into, montana needs one thousand four hundred dollars per sponsered tag to run thier conservation programs. 300 dollar increase over last year. the price of the tag in 9 years doubled while the guy I hunt with kept the price the same in that 9 year peroid. Its a supply-demand thing. They are charging what they think the market will pay. I am going try for a montana lottery if I get one , good, If not then off to colorado on DIY archery hunt.
