What’s even more frustrating is spending tons of cash and you don’t draw a tag… Really seems like we are getting nickel and dimed….

Every year, I spend over $500 in non-refundable hunting fee’s to various states that I have never even drawn a tag in.

If you ask me, there should be a basic fee to get into the draw, then if your successful make me buy extra stamps, fees, licenses – I don’t mind that as much… I shouldn’t have a $200+ bill for one state just to get into the drawings!!

Recently, I've been crucnhing numbers... In some ways, I may be better off to just buy a guaranteed landowner tag in a decent unit every 3-4 years then just hunt the cheapo general units the other years... Instead of applying in all of these 'super units' every year with all of the non-refundable fees?
