The yearly cost-it's acutually less than $1300.00. BTW, you can make installment payments. Where you heard its 3K to join is incorrect. Go pay someone 2k for a guided hunt. You get TWO days of hunting and one animal. So how is $1300 for a YEAR for MULTIPLE animals bad? OR spend alot more than 3K a year on gas and supplies and aimlessly drive around public land that you may be unfamiliar with. Get the point? My advice is call the office, check out the info on the web and make your own call, best to ya.
